Digital Radiography Market Size

The global digital radiography market was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to exhibit 3.6% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. Growing digitalization trends across diagnostic settings, technological advancements in digital radiography systems, rising demand for reducing operational cost across healthcare facilities, and growing burden across diagnostic settings are driving the revenue growth in the market.

The shift from traditional film-based radiography to digital radiography systems across diagnostic settings is driving the demand for digital radiography products. Increasing number of healthcare settings are investing a significant share of their capital for modernizing and digitalizing their medical imaging infrastructure. For instance, according to the World Bank Group, between April 2020 and December 2022, the share of micro firms (with zero to four employees) adopting digital solutions increased from 10% to 20%. In contrast, large firms (employing over 100 individuals) saw a more pronounced surge, with their adoption rate increasing from 20% to 60%.

Digital imaging offers numerous advantages, such as faster processing times, enhanced image quality, and reduced need for physical storage. Medical digital imaging systems with smart integrated features such as automated exposure control, image enhancement, and real-time diagnostics are becoming more common in diagnostic imaging settings. These systems improve operational efficiency, enhance the image quality with minimal intervention, and reduce the risk of human error in image acquisition.

Digital radiography includes the radiographic imaging solutions that uses digital sensors to capture X-ray images instead of traditional film. This technology offers several benefits over conventional X-ray methods, including faster image capture, better image quality, and easier storage and sharing of images.
