Spain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Market Analysis

The Spain Magnetic Resonance Imaging Market size is estimated at USD 209.32 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 266.90 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.98% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

COVID-19 had an adverse impact on the magnetic resonance imaging market in Spain. Various research studies have been published to provide insight into the effects of the pandemic on the studied market. According to the research study published in June 2021, titled 'Significant Decrease in Annual Cancer Diagnoses in Spain during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Real-Data Study', the highest number of patients lost from diagnosis in 2020 was in breast cancer (-26.1%), colorectal neoplasms (-16.9%), and head and neck tumors (-19.8%) which shows a negative impact of the COVID-19 on the studied market in the country. However, according to early data from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), residual myocardial inflammation may be seen at rates as high as 60% at a COVID-testing facility more than 2 months following a COVID-19 diagnosis. In Spain, 28 centers participated in a multicenter registry, according to an article titled "A Multicenter Registry." Acute cardiovascular disease has been identified in patients who have been diagnosed with COVID19. 82 patients in all took part in the trial. Nine of them (14.1%) had acute myocarditis, while the others either had stress cardiomyopathy or acute myocardial infarction. 83.3% of myocarditis patients had heart failure, with 25% of them mimicking an acute coronary syndrome. Cardiac MRI helped to identify these problems. As a result, there will likely be a demand for MRI technology to diagnose Covid problems in the future.

The major factors that are expected to drive the growth of the studied market of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Spain are the increasing burden of chronic diseases and initiatives by market players. The incidence of acquired brain damage in children is 191/100,000, with an even higher prevalence, according to data from the Federation of Brain Injury in Spain (FEDACE) 2020. In addition, there are 120,000 cases of congenital brain injury known as cerebral palsy in Spain. According to GlOBOCAN Spain 2020, there are 4,420 new cases of brain and central nervous system malignancies, and 3, 283 people have died as a result of these illnesses. Several market participants are engaged in strategic projects that are promoting market expansion. For instance, in January 2021, a 5-year innovation and partnership deal was struck by Royal Philips and Vithas group, the second-largest private healthcare organization in Spain. In accordance with the agreement, four new hybrid operating rooms with ceiling-mounted live-image guidance systems will be installed in addition to replacing current Vithas Group MR equipment. Additionally, Philips will oversee CT systems, x-ray machinery, and dose management programs. Therefore, it is anticipated that advances related to open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems will increase market growth in this sector.

However, it is anticipated that the market expansion in Spain will be constrained by inadequate reimbursement and the high cost of equipment.
