The UAE Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Market to Thrive Amidst the Prevalence of Cancer & Chronic Diseases

The UAE Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period of 2024-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The diagnostic imaging equipment sector in the UAE has witnessed significant expansion, propelled by the surging incidence of cancer and other chronic ailments like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The escalating cancer rates were largely linked to shifting lifestyles, marked by unhealthy dietary choices, alcohol and tobacco use, sedentary behavior, and obesity. This upswing in cancer cases has been emphasizing the urgent requirement for advanced imaging tools to facilitate precise diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning. Consequently, there was a heightened demand for diagnostic imaging solutions, encompassing mammography, ultrasonography, and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to address the mounting cancer instances and improve cancer care efficacy.

Additionally, the UAE government has been steadfast in addressing the healthcare requirements of both residents and medical tourists, by actively enhancing healthcare infrastructure across the nation. In response to the escalating healthcare demands, the government has consistently introduced initiatives and investments to facilitate the construction of new hospitals. This proactive approach has significantly fueled the demand for cutting-edge diagnostic imaging equipment in recent times, as newly established facilities are typically equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Furthermore, the prevalence of other chronic diseases, including diabetes, has also witnessed a notable upswing in recent years. For instance, as of 2022, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) reported approximately 0.99 million people living with diabetes in the UAE in 2021. Projections indicate an increase to 1.17 million by 2030 and 1.32 million by 2045. With the growing number of diabetes cases, complications such as cardiovascular diseases are anticipated to rise in the future. This is poised to drive the demand for cardiac imaging techniques like cardiac CT imaging, chest X-ray, cardiac MRI, and nuclear cardiac stress testing, thereby positively influencing the market in the upcoming years, further states the research report, “The UAE Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Market Analysis, 2024.”
