The forecast for the import of radiography and radiotherapy devices to Italy shows a consistent declining trend from 2024 to 2028. From a high of 7.12 thousand items in 2024, imports are expected to decrease sharply to 0.55 thousand items by 2028. These numbers represent a sharp contraction in volume, with significant year-on-year decreases, notably accelerating after 2026. By contrast, in 2023, imports were steady, indicating the beginning of this downturn in the forecasted period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological innovation which may impact demand for imported devices.
Changes in domestic production capabilities within Italy.
Regulatory shifts or economic conditions affecting healthcare capital investment.
Increased emphasis on preventive care and telemedicine potentially reducing the need for traditional equipment.
