The density of computed tomography (CT) scanners in hospitals in Mexico has shown a mix of growth and stabilization from 2013 to 2023. Starting at 5.34 units per million persons in 2013, the density had a steady incline with minor dips and peaked at 7.34 in 2021, followed by a slight decrease in 2022 to 6.98, then a mild rise to 7.14 in 2023.
Year-on-year analysis reveals moderate fluctuations, with significant growth periods such as 2019's 8.75% and 2021's 11.72% increases. However, there were also declines like the -4.9% in 2022. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows consistent growth, averaging 4.14% over the last five years.
From 2024 onwards, forecasts suggest continued gradual growth with the density reaching 7.87 units per million persons by 2028, marking a projected 7.81% increase from 2023. The 5-year forecasted CAGR is relatively modest at 1.52%.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Technological advancements in CT technology may drive demand for more advanced scanners.
- Potential increases in healthcare funding could accelerate the growth trend.
- Strategic healthcare policies focusing on diagnostic capabilities could influence density changes.
