The growth in the usage of computed tomography (CT) scanners in Polish hospitals has been relatively steady from 2013 through 2023. In 2023, the value stood at 15.31 units per million persons. The year-on-year variations indicate fluctuations, with significant growth periods in 2014 (6.64%) and more stable but slower growth in recent years (1.66% in 2023). The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2018 to 2023 was 2.17%, reflecting moderate and consistent growth.
Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a continued, albeit slower, increase. By 2028, the value is expected to reach 16.47 units per million persons. The forecasted 5-year CAGR from 2024 to 2028 is 1.16%, indicating a more subdued rate of growth compared to the previous 5-year period.
Future trends to watch for:
- Integration of advanced imaging technologies and AI-driven diagnostics that may drive higher use of CT scanners.
- Funding and healthcare policies that could impact equipment purchases and usage frequency.
- Potential shifts toward other imaging modalities that could moderate the growing trend of CT scanner usage.
