Latin America 3D Imaging Market Executive Summary

Total spending in Latin American regions like Argentina and Brazil is driven by large shares of out-of-pocket and private voluntary insurance expenditures; whereas publicly mandated and supported financing in Chile and Uruguay dominates the composition of the health sector. Several Latin American countries like Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile spend at levels observed in universal coverage systems of high-income countries, which typically spend between 8% to 11% of their GDP on health.

The cost of healthcare in places such as Mexico, Columbia, and Panama is significantly less than in the US, despite offering excellent quality of care. Compared to the US, medical procedures in Mexico and Costa Rica can save you 36% – 89% and 44% – 89%, respectively.

The region is home to more than 18,000 hospitals, and Latin America offers plenty of choices for healthcare. One shocking Latin American healthcare statistic is that Brazil is home to more hospitals than the US alone, with 6,451 hospitals in 2021. Additionally, 42.6% of the top hospitals in Latin America are located in Columbia. The best hospitals in Latin America are located in larger cities, while facilities in remote and rural areas often do not suffice.

Digital healthcare is developing globally as a result of IT technology development and the emergence of remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions. RPM has developed into a useful tool for enhancing clinical assessment and decision-making while lowering the likelihood of hospitalization. With the prevalence of cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases rising, RPM service use is also anticipated to rise. Additionally, as the aging population grows, more of them are choosing independent, healthy lifestyles, which will probably increase the adoption of RPM solutions. 

3D imaging is the process of creating a picture that appears to be three-dimensional and has depth. High-resolution images are created by combining 3D image sensors with cameras, screens, and other devices. The healthcare business, entertainment industry, building, and construction industry, and automobile industry all commonly use 3D imaging as a result. Additionally, the prevalence of chronic diseases is rising Latin Americaly, and people are becoming more aware of the advantages of 3D imaging technology, such as how precisely it depicts internal organs while minimizing tissue damage and the high quality of data that can be obtained from different medical imaging techniques. These and other factors are what is causing a demand for 3D imaging solutions. Growth is anticipated to be constrained by the high cost of these sensors and a lack of expertise in 3D imaging applications.

Market Size and Key Findings

The Global 3D Imaging market is estimated to be valued at US$ 17.83 Bn in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 20.69% over the forecast period (2021-2030).
