Global & Ukraine X-Ray Imaging Devices Market to 2031

The conflict in Ukraine has profoundly impacted the market for medical equipment, including CT devices. The war has led to a significant market decline, disrupting supply chains and severely damaging healthcare infrastructure. As a result, the procurement and installation of new CT scanners have been largely halted, and existing equipment is in critical need of repair or replacement.

Despite these setbacks, there is a pressing long-term need for CT scanners for both treating the vast number of war casualties and rebuilding the country’s healthcare system. As international aid and reconstruction efforts progress, the market is expected to see a gradual recovery, driven by the necessity to replace destroyed equipment and modernize healthcare facilities.

The high prevalence of chronic diseases in Ukraine is a significant driver for the CT devices market, as these conditions are a major cause of death and require advanced imaging for diagnosis and management.

For instance, according to a WHO health needs assessment in October 2024, 84% of all deaths in Ukraine are due to non-communicable diseases. The assessment also found that a high percentage of the population reported a decline in their health, highlighting a significant disease burden that necessitates a continuous supply of modern diagnostic equipment. Moreover, a major factor driving the market is the significant investment in healthcare infrastructure, often supported by international aid. For instance, according to data published by World Bank, in July 2025, a World Bank-supported project installed 38 CT scanners in Ukraine to help diagnose cardiovascular diseases. This initiative highlights the critical role of international support in upgrading the country's medical equipment and infrastructure in response to current health challenges. Therefore, the CT device market in Ukraine, while facing severe disruptions from the ongoing war, is driven by the high burden of chronic diseases and significant international support for healthcare infrastructure. The high prevalence of non-communicable diseases, responsible for a large majority of deaths, creates a persistent and critical need for advanced diagnostic tools like CT scanners. This underlying health crisis ensures that demand for such equipment remains strong, even amidst the conflict. Show more
