In 2023, the number of positron emission tomography (PET) scanners in France's ambulatory sector was not provided, but from 2024 onwards, the forecast shows a consistent growth pattern: 92 scanners in 2024, ascending to 122 by 2028.
Key points of forecast analysis:
- The sector anticipates an annual increase, with the number of PET scanners growing from 2024 to 2028 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of approximately 7.31%.
- This consistent rise indicates a strategic increase in diagnostics capacity, responding possibly to escalating healthcare needs or policy shifts toward modern medical infrastructure.
Future trends to observe:
Watch for advances in PET scanner technology that could drive demand further, and regulatory developments in France's healthcare system might influence investment in diagnostic infrastructure. Moreover, evolving healthcare needs, driven by demographic shifts and disease prevalence, could further impact the proliferation of PET scanners in this sector.
