Market Segmentations: -
• The AI in medical diagnostics market is segmented based on components: software and services. The services segment dominated the market in 2021, while the software segment is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Software solutions help AI in healthcare providers gain a competitive edge despite the challenges of being short-staffed and facing increasing imaging scan volumes.
• The application market in AI in the medical diagnostics market is segmented into in vivo and in vitro diagnostics. The in vivo diagnostics segment commanded the largest share of 96.8% of this market in 2021. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the growing adoption of AI solutions by practitioners, as these solutions help reduce human errors and improve treatment efficacy.
• Based on end users, the AI in medical diagnostics market is segmented into hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, diagnostic laboratories, and other end users. The hospitals segment commanded the largest share of 64.1% of this market in 2021.
Regional Analysis: -
The AI in medical diagnostics market has been segmented into four main regional segments: North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2021, North America accounted for the largest market share of this market.
However, the Asia Pacific market is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth rate of the Asia Pacific market can primarily be attributed to the growth strategies companies adopt in emerging markets, improved medical diagnostics infrastructure, rising geriatric population, increasing prevalence of cancer, and the implementation of favorable government initiatives.
