In 2023, the number of computed tomography (CT) scanners in hospitals across France was not provided, but the data forecasts a decrease over the coming years. From 2024, where there are 700 units, a gradual reduction is anticipated, reaching 682 units by 2028. Year-on-year, the decrease is relatively steady, averaging around a 0.65% drop annually, suggesting a controlled but consistent decline over time.
Future trends to watch for include potential advancements in CT technology that could alter demand, shifts in healthcare policies that affect equipment procurement, and changes in patient reliance on CT scans versus alternative diagnostic technologies. These could influence the forecasted trends and present opportunities or challenges for stakeholders in the healthcare sector.
