Computed Radiography Market to Surpass $9.8 Billion by 2035: U.S., Germany, Japan, China, and UK Lead Global Growth

According to recent research by DataString Consulting, the global Computed Radiography market is projected to grow from $4.3 billion in 2024 to $9.8 billion by 2035, driven by increasing digital adoption across healthcare systems worldwide. The U.S., Germany, Japan, China, and the UK are identified as the top 5 markets, collectively accounting for a significant share of global demand. These regions are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% to 7.5% between 2025 and 2035.


Key Growth Drivers: Digital Transformation & AI Integration

The transition from analog to digital radiography continues to reshape the market landscape. As healthcare systems increasingly adopt digital imaging and AI-based diagnostics, Computed Radiography (CR) systems are gaining prominence for their efficiency, accuracy, and lower operational costs. Benefits include:

  • Streamlined storage and retrieval of radiographic images

  • Enhanced image quality and real-time sharing capabilities

  • Improved collaboration among healthcare professionals

  • Reduced physical storage needs and maintenance costs

This digital shift is fundamentally transforming the Computed Radiography supply chain, making it more responsive and scalable.
