In 2022, U.S. hospitals spent an estimated $4.29 billion on service-related expenses for diagnostic imaging equipment, according to the recently published IMV 2023 Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Service Outlook Report. This is a 13.3% increase since 2020, when service spending was estimated to be $3.875 billion, and represents a 4.22% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period.
For 2022, the top three service providers by service-related expenditures are GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, and Crothall Healthcare. Since 2019 the share of service-related expenditures with third-party service providers has increased by 14 parts per thousand (ppt), from 36% of service spending in 2019 to 50% in 2022. The modalities with the highest service-related expenditures are CT, x-ray, MRI, ultrasound, and mammography.
| Year | Share of Service-related Expenditures with Third-Party Service Providers |
|---|---|
| 2019 | 36% |
| 2022 | 50% |
For 2022, 77% of hospitals have at least one service contract with an OEM and 64% have one with a third-party service provider. The percentage of hospitals with an OEM service contract is lower, and those with a third-party contract higher than in 2020, and is another data point backing up the shift to third-party service providers.
In hospitals, the top five decision-makers for service contract arrangements are the imaging administrator in the primary hospital, the CFO of the primary hospital, the biomedical engineering manager for the health system, the purchasing manager, and the chief radiologist. Regarding corporate HQ influence in the purchasing decision for service contracts in 2023, 35% of sites say corporate influence is increasing, down 16 ppt from 51% in 2020.
Since the previous IMV study, service-related spending on diagnostic imaging equipment has grown steadily and this spending has shifted towards third-party service providers.
