The number of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) units in France has exhibited steady growth from 618 units in 2013 to 1250 units in 2023, showing a positive trend with fluctuating year-on-year growth rates. In 2023, the growth rate stood at 4.07%, marking a continued increase in the volume. Over the past two years (2022-2023), the year-on-year growth rates were relatively stable at around 4.5% to 4%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the last five years (2018-2023) was 4.85%, reflecting a consistent expansion in MRI unit installations.
Forecasts indicate this trend will continue, reaching 1470 units by 2028. However, the forecasted 5-year CAGR is expected to slow down to 2.5%, suggesting a moderated pace of growth compared to the previous five years. Future trends to watch for include advancements in MRI technology, potential policy-driven increases in healthcare infrastructure, and shifts in healthcare funding that may impact the speed at which new units are adopted.
