$26 Billion Diagnostic Imaging Centers Industry Is Growing

Sept. 15, 2025

Marketdata has published a newly updated study: “The U.S. Diagnostic Imaging Centers Industry”, Sept. 2025.

The report is 85 pages long, with 29 Tables & Charts

Some Report Findings:

  • The industry is estimated to be worth $26.9 billion in 2024, with 5.2% average annual growth in receipts forecast through 2028.
  • The industry is fragmented, comprised of 6,948 imaging centers in the U.S.  The industry employs 109,000 workers.
  • The long-term average yearly growth of revenues has been 3.0%, but the period 2017 to 2022 saw that rise of 7.3% yearly.
  • The 12 largest competitors as a group capture an estimated 19.7% of revenues.
  • Marketdata analysts are taking an optimistic scenario: we think that there will be an accelerated shift of volumes to lower-cost outpatient centers, coupled with more retail/retail-health partnerships, and a strong uptake of teleradiology and productivity-boosting artificial intelligence.
  • The typical imaging center has annual revenues of $3.6 million, and payroll costs equal to 29.5% of sales.
  • After a significant drop in volume in 2020 due to COVID-19, diagnostic imaging procedures in the U.S. saw a rebound and growth in 2021 and 2022.
  • The number of MRI and CT scans performed annually in the United States continues to grow, due to their wider acceptance by physicians and payors, an increasing number of applications for their use and a general increase in demand due to the aging population.
