Market Overview

The France medical imaging market includes all of the technology and equipment used to create images of the body's internal structures (e.g., CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds) for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating illnesses. Medical imaging modalities include X-rays, MRI, CT, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine, plus hybrid imaging equipment. The market includes hospitals and diagnostic centers that use these devices to treat patients, as well as the maintenance, sale, and technological advances that make delivering good-quality medical imaging service possible within France.

In France there is an increased demand for medical imaging due to a large number of chronic and lifestyle-related medical conditions. Approximately 3.7 million consumers in France had cancer in 2024. Cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death in France, with over 1.5 million adults having cardiovascular disease. Other disorders, such as Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, affect approximately 1.2 million individuals in France, and the number of people with dementia will continue to rise as the population ages. France is facing an aging population, which means that more than 20% of the France population is aged 65 or older. Because of this increase in the population's average age, there is a growing need for more frequent diagnostic imaging procedures to monitor the health of older individuals.

The growing number of obese and diabetic individuals in France, as well as the growing incidence of lifestyle-related illnesses, is contributing to the increasing use of medical imaging equipment for the early detection and accurate diagnosis of diseases, as well as for planning the treatment of patients. Therefore, the medical imaging equipment market is a key component in France's healthcare system.
