Saudi Arabia Diagnostic Imaging Market

Saudi Arabia Diagnostic Imaging Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia diagnostic imaging market size reached USD 314.10 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 501.97 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.80% during 2025-2033. The market is expanding steadily, driven by increasing demand for advanced healthcare services, growing public and private investment, and rising burden of chronic diseases. Technological innovations and digital health integration are enhancing diagnostic capabilities across the country. These developments collectively contribute to the evolving landscape of the Saudi Arabia diagnostic imaging market share.

Saudi Arabia Diagnostic Imaging Market Trends:

Rising Prevalence of Chronic and Lifestyle-Related Diseases

The growing incidence of chronic diseases like cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and cancer in Saudi Arabia is a primary driver of the diagnostic imaging market. Unhealthy lifestyle patterns, aging demographics, and urbanization have contributed to increased disease burden. As early and accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, there is a rising demand for imaging technologies like MRI, CT, and ultrasound. Government health screening initiatives and awareness campaigns are also encouraging early diagnostic testing. Hospitals and clinics are increasingly equipping themselves with modern imaging systems to manage this surge, thereby boosting the market's growth and strengthening the role of diagnostic imaging in chronic disease management across the country. For instance, in December 2024, King Abdulaziz University (KAU) introduced a novel Alzheimer's disease detection service. This service is provided by the university's investment arm, Wadi Jeddah, through its Molecular Imaging Center (I-One). This service is the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia to use integrated Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI).

Technological Advancements and AI Integration in Imaging

Technological progress is significantly influencing the Saudi Arabia diagnostic imaging market growth. Innovations such as 3D imaging, AI-powered diagnostic tools, portable imaging devices, and hybrid modalities (like PET/CT) are transforming radiology practices. AI-based solutions are being introduced for faster, more accurate interpretation of scans, especially in oncology, neurology, and cardiology. These advancements not only improve diagnostic precision but also help reduce radiologists' workload and operational costs. With international and regional players bringing in state-of-the-art imaging solutions, Saudi hospitals are increasingly adopting digital imaging platforms, Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), and remote interpretation tools. This evolution is positioning the country as a regional hub for advanced medical imaging. For instance, in March 2026, leading AI-powered cancer diagnosis and treatment provider Lunit signed a second deal with Cloud Solutions, a division of the largest medical group in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group (HMG). Building on the success of their 2023 partnership, Lunit will now provide the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with its AI-powered chest X-ray analysis solution, Lunit INSIGHT CXR, for the next three years, analyzing over one million chest X-ray pictures.
