India's radiology sector is experiencing a remarkable technological transformation driven by artificial intelligence and remote monitoring solutions. The 1Lattice report highlights significant growth, with the market expected to nearly double from $7.1 billion to $13.5 billion by 2030. Advanced technologies are enabling more accessible and accurate diagnostic services, particularly in states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Despite challenges like uneven urban-rural access, the sector is poised for substantial digital healthcare innovation.

AI-led innovation driving growth in India's radiology sector: Report
"Radiology is evolving from being a
hospital-based specialty to a cornerstone of primary and preventive care"
- Sanjay Sachdeva, 1Lattice
India is witnessing a significant uptick in the
adoption of diagnostic radiology devices, with a major rise in accelerated
adoption of AI-powered technologies and remote monitoring solutions, according
to a report on Friday.
Key Points
1 AI driving transformative change in diagnostic
technologies
2 Radiology market projected to reach $13.5 billion
by 2030
3 Maharashtra leads device deployment across Indian
states
4 Remote monitoring expanding healthcare access
nationwide
The report by 1Lattice, a tech-enabled market
intelligence firm, also attributed the growth to rising disease burden,
increased investment in healthcare infrastructure.
It revealed that India has registered 1.48 lakh
radiology devices, with Maharashtra (20,590), Tamil Nadu (15,267), and Uttar
Pradesh (12,236) leading the charge.
These figures reflect a broader trend toward
modernisation and digitisation of diagnostic services, even beyond urban
centres.
“Radiology is evolving from being a hospital-based
specialty to a cornerstone of primary and preventive care. The convergence of
AI, portability, and remote monitoring is unlocking access, improving accuracy,
and reshaping the delivery of diagnostics across India’s healthcare system,”
said Sanjay Sachdeva, Director - Healthcare and Lifesciences, 1Lattice.
Radiology's impact is further enhanced by AI-powered
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), enabling real-time tracking and reducing the
need for frequent in-person visits through remote health monitoring.
Globally, the radiology equipment market is poised
for strong growth. The global market is projected to rise from $34 billion in
2025 to $43 billion by 2030, reflecting a 5 per cent CAGR.
On the other hand, the Indian radiology equipment
market is poised to grow from $7.1 billion in FY2025 to $13.5 billion by
FY2030, outpacing global growth with a 10 per cent CAGR, the report said.
The growth drivers include technological
advancements in digital radiography and ultrasound; a rise in chronic diseases
such as cancer and cardiovascular conditions; government schemes like Ayushman
Bharat and the National Digital Health Mission (NDHM).
As healthcare delivery in India becomes more
decentralised and tech-driven, radiology will be central to driving outcomes
through timely and accurate diagnosis.
