Global Spinal Imaging Market to Grow at 5% CAGR, Driven by Advanced Imaging & AI Adoption 2030

The global spinal imaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~5% during the forecast period. The rising incidence of spinal disorders such as degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis, growing adoption of advanced imaging modalities like MRI and CT, technological advancements like AI-enabled diagnostic platforms, and increasing R&D investments in radiology are some of the key factors driving the market growth. However, the high cost of advanced imaging equipment and procedures is still a major constraint for the growth of the spinal imaging market. 

The spinal imaging market includes diagnostic tools and technologies used for the visualization, diagnosis, and monitoring of various spinal conditions, which include spinal infections, vertebral fractures, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis, among others. The market includes key imaging modalities such as X-ray, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (Computed Tomography), and ultrasound systems. Among these, MRI and CT scans are the most widely used techniques due to their ability to provide high-resolution, cross-sectional images of spinal structures, including bones, discs, nerves, and soft tissues. In contrast, ultrasound systems are more commonly used for pediatric and intraoperative applications due to their portability and safety.

Growing burden of spinal disorders accelerates spinal imaging market development

The global spinal imaging market is expanding rapidly, driven by the increasing prevalence of spine-related conditions such as spinal stenosis, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and osteoporosis-induced fractures. The surge in the number of these disorders is due to a rise in global aging populations and sedentary lifestyles. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), musculoskeletal conditions are the leading cause of disability worldwide, with low back pain ranking as the top cause of disability in 160 countries. An estimated 1.71 billion people are currently affected by musculoskeletal disorders globally. This rising disease burden has significantly increased the need for advanced spinal imaging techniques, including MRI and CT, to support early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment planning, thereby driving the overall growth of the spinal imaging market. Furthermore, the growing burden of spinal disorders has led to the development of novel modalities by major market players. For instance,

• In February 2025, Esaote, in collaboration with Amsterdam UMC and AIRS Medical, unveiled e‑SPADES, an MRI innovation that is an AI-driven platform that cuts MRI exam duration by up to 60% while preserving high image quality.
• In January 2025, Philips launched the AI-enabled CT 5300 at the 23rd Asian Oceanian Congress of Radiology (AOCR)2025. This advanced X-ray CT system enhances diagnostic accuracy and ensures higher system uptime

“Our ongoing R&D efforts are focused on improving diagnostic accuracy and image-guided interventions by leveraging powerful technologies that increasingly rely on AI and advanced software applications as their backbone. Our new MRI and Ultrasound portfolio is supported by integrated IT platforms that enable healthcare professionals to focus on precision patient care,” -- CEO of a Leading MedTech Company, Italy

Minimally invasive spine surgeries fuel demand for advanced spinal imaging solutions

The surge in the demand for minimally invasive spinal surgeries is significantly boosting the demand for advanced spinal imaging technologies. These procedures require precise visualization tools to minimize tissue damage and ensure surgical accuracy. As a result, there is widespread adoption of intraoperative imaging systems such as C-arms, O-arm platforms, and 3D navigation systems using CT or fluoroscopy. According to a study published by NIH, the image-guided navigation system has significantly enhanced the accuracy in lumbar pedicle screw placement surgery. For CT-based navigation systems, the accuracy has improved to ~91% which was earlier around 85% with fluoroscopy systems. Along with it, there is reduction in intraoperative radiation exposure for patients and staff. With advantages like quicker recovery times and reduced hospital stays, the popularity of these procedures continues to grow, driving the development of innovative technologies. For instance,

• In April 2025, Medivis Inc. received FDA 510(k) clearance for its Spine Navigation platform, now commercially available in the US, utilizing AR and AI technology and providing holographic, real-time guidance during both open and minimally invasive spinal procedures
• In April 2024, Siemens Healthineers introduced an AI-assisted, self-driving C-arm system for intraoperative imaging, providing real-time, automated anatomical alignment during surgery to enhance surgical efficiency and accuracy
