In 2023, the number of gamma cameras in German hospitals was slightly higher, indicating a slight downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Over the forecast period, a steady decline is observed, with a very minimal year-on-year decrease. Over five years, the average annual decline (CAGR) reflects a consistent reduction in gamma camera counts.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in diagnostic equipment, possibly leading to the replacement of traditional gamma cameras.
- Increasing emphasis on cost-efficiency and precision medicine, potentially reducing the demand for older imaging techniques.
- Policy changes or investments in healthcare infrastructure that might impact the procurement of new gamma cameras.
