The global C-arms market size was valued at USD 2,320.41 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 3,298.40 Million by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.79% from 2025-2033. North America currently dominates the market, holding a market share of over 35.5% in 2024. The market is propelling due to the escalating demand for advanced imaging technologies in minimally invasive surgeries, orthopedics, and cardiovascular procedures. Innovations like 3D imaging and portable systems enhance precision and flexibility, contributing to the growing C-arms market share. Moreover, increasing healthcare investments and the shift toward outpatient care drive global adoption across hospitals and surgical centers.
C-arms are non-invasive devices used for fluoroscopic intraoperative imaging during complicated surgical and emergency care procedures. They have image intensifiers and radiographic capabilities, which assist in providing high-resolution X-ray images and allow surgeons to monitor the progress of surgery in real-time. They also help visualize kidney drainage, gastroenterology, neurostimulation, percutaneous valve replacements, and abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm repair. As a result, they are widely utilized in the fields of orthopedics, traumatology, cardiology, vascular surgery, pain management, and neurology procedures across the globe.
C-Arms Market Trends:
The growing number of individuals undergoing surgical procedures due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases represents one of the key factors driving the demand for c-arms across the globe. Moreover, the augmenting geriatric population with arthritis, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases is catalyzing the need for surgical interventions. This, coupled with the rising preference for minimally invasive (MI) procedures and growing health consciousness among individuals, is bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, there is an increase in the demand for C-arm computed tomography (CT) as it helps address the need for three-dimensional (3D) imaging of cardiac anatomy in hospitals. Furthermore, due to the growing adoption of portable C-arms in diagnosing various critical diseases, several major players are designing advanced mini C-arms with a smaller footprint and enhanced mobility than regular C-arms. In addition, these players are launching a broad product portfolio of mobile C-arms that combine excellent image quality with unique features. As these devices provide easy operability, versatility, efficiency, and ease of use while simplifying overall clinical workflow in various fields of practice, the usage for C-arms is projected to expand in the coming years.
