In 2023, France's density of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) units in hospitals stood at an estimated 7.67 units per million persons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase in MRI units density, with a year-on-year growth of approximately 1.16% annually, reaching 8.11 units by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 1.24% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in MRI technology, which could increase efficiency and reduce costs.
- Government healthcare policies potentially affecting funding and equipment allocation.
- Population growth and aging, which may drive higher demand for diagnostic imaging services.
- Emergence of alternative imaging technologies that could influence MRI utilization rates.
