The forecast for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) exams in the US shows a stable trend from 2024 to 2028, maintaining values around 6.8 to 6.9 exams per thousand persons. Compared to the actual number of 6.7 in 2023, this indicates a modest increase. The year-on-year variation is marginal, with a slight rise between 2025 and 2026, demonstrating a consistent but slow growth rate. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a minimal but steady upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in PET imaging, potential increases in healthcare accessibility, and demographic shifts that might affect demand. Additionally, regulatory and reimbursement changes, as well as broader trends in diagnostic imaging, could influence future growth rates.
