South and Central America Medical Imaging Equipment Market Outlook

South and Central America is a growing region in the global market for medical imaging equipment, registering consistent growth based on enhancing healthcare infrastructure, growing awareness of early diagnosis, and augmenting prevalence of chronic diseases. Use of imaging technologies like X-ray, ultrasound, and CT is on the rise as the public and private sectors spend money to upgrade diagnostic facilities in urban and semi-urban regions.

The demand for affordable and cost-efficient diagnostic equipment, and portable and digital imaging systems has been increased due to factors such as rising chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and mental or neurological diseases. These diseases are promoting the use of medical imaging services. In spite of such setbacks as disparities in healthcare resource distribution and differing regulatory landscapes, the region offers a lot of growth potential as access to healthcare increases and imaging technology becomes more economically priced.

For instance, according to the data published by the Global Cancer Observatory (GCO), there were ~1,551,060 new cases of cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2022. In addition, cancer resulted in 749,242 deaths in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2022.

South and Central America Medical Imaging Equipment Market Country Insight

Based on region, the South and Central America medical imaging equipment Market is further segmented into the Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Rest of SACA. The Brazil held the largest share in 2024.

The medical imaging equipment market in Brazil is one of the largest in South America and is supported by public-sector initiatives and private sector expansions in health care. Ultrasound and X-ray are still the most common, but demand for CT and MR is driven by increasing prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and an aging population in urban environments.
