The total computed tomography (CT) exams in Belgium have demonstrated a consistent upward trend from 2013 to 2023. As of 2023, the number of CT exams stood at 215.1 units per thousand persons. The year-on-year variation from 2022 to 2023 was 1.18%, and over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) has been 1.27%. This growth has been relatively stable with minor fluctuations, reflecting steady demand for CT exams.
Looking forward, from 2024 to 2028, the forecasted five-year CAGR is expected to be 0.82%, resulting in a total growth rate of 4.18% over this period. This indicates a continued increase but at a slightly subdued pace compared to the previous decade.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in CT technology, the implementation of AI in diagnostics, changes in healthcare policies, and an aging population that may drive further demand for diagnostic imaging. Keeping abreast of these factors could provide deeper insights into future market dynamics.
