The global medical imaging equipment services market has been segmented on the basis of service type, service providers, modality, and end-user. Based on service type, the global medical imaging equipment services market is categorized into equipment removal & relocation, equipment repair & maintenance, refurbished systems, technical training, and software upgrades. The equipment repair & maintenance segment accounted for the leading market share in 2016, and is projected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. Limited availability of systems and skilled staff to meet the rising demand for diagnosis leads to higher wear and tear of instruments, which in turn, is projected to augment the market share of the segment by 2025.

In terms of service provider, the global medical imaging equipment services market is classified into Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Independent Service Organizations. Innovations and advancements leading to rapid processing and shorter test time are likely to propel the OEM segment during the forecast period with a relatively significant CAGR and enhance the penetration of OEMs in emerging markets. Various modalities available in the medical imaging equipment services market are Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), ultrasound, x-ray, and others. Out of these, CT generated the maximum revenue in 2016 and is likely to lead the market during 2017-2025.

Relatively higher cost of annual service contracts, increase in installed base, and superior technological advancements in the current generation CT are projected to drive the segments growth during the forecast period. On the basis of end-user, the medical imaging equipment services market has been bifurcated into hospitals, diagnostic centers, and others. Hospitals held the dominant share of the market in 2016. However, diagnostic centers are projected to reflect the highest CAGR during 2017-2025, which can be attributed to the increasing penetration of private service providers and rising preference of patients for outpatient settings, boosting the demand for affordable services.
