Global Medical CT Overlays Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Medical CT Overlays market size is predicted to grow from US$ 82.17 million in 2025 to US$ 112 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global sales of Medical CT Overlays reached approximately 7 k units, with an average market price of about USD 12000 per unit, an annual production capacity of roughly 9 k units, and an industry-average gross margin of approximately 40%.
Medical CT Overlays are removable, flat carbon-fiber couch tops that attach to the original curved CT or PET-CT patient table via a dedicated cradle or locking mechanism, creating a flat surface that mimics the radiotherapy treatment couch for CT simulation and accurate patient positioning. Product literature from vendors such as CQ Medical, Diacor and Qfix describes them as “Flat Tabletop / Radiation Therapy Planning Overlays” with carbon-fiber skins and foam cores that provide a homogeneous, radiolucent platform compatible with Varian Exact–style indexing systems and offering indexed attachment points along the entire length for reproducible positioning. These overlays are typically lightweight, high-strength and highly radiolucent, designed for quick installation and removal so that imaging systems can be switched efficiently between diagnostic CT use and radiotherapy planning workflows.
On the upstream side, Medical CT Overlays depend on suppliers of carbon-fiber prepregs, foam core materials, resins and adhesives, precision locking hardware and indexing rails, supported by composite fabricators with large-panel molding, CNC machining and finishing capabilities. In the midstream, specialized radiotherapy positioning and imaging-accessory manufacturers handle mechanical design, structural analysis, composite lay-up, assembly and QA, selling under their own brands, via OEM arrangements, or bundled with CT systems from GE, Siemens, Canon and others; CT simulator and radiotherapy tender documents often specify a carbon-fiber flat couch top as part of the required configuration. Downstream, demand is concentrated in radiotherapy centers, oncology departments and advanced imaging facilities, where CT overlays are purchased as capital equipment during new-build or upgrade projects and then replaced over a typical 7–10-year life cycle, with occasional unplanned replacements due to damage or heavy use. As a result, overall consumption closely tracks the expansion and modernization of global radiotherapy capacity and CT simulation installations rather than day-to-day procedure volume.
The Medical CT Overlays market sits within the broader radiotherapy patient positioning accessories space and is closely tied to the build-out and upgrading of global radiotherapy capacity. Couch tops and overlays are viewed as critical enablers of precise, reproducible positioning for CT simulation, and their demand largely follows new installations and replacements of CT simulators, LINACs, and hybrid imaging-RT workflows. Competition is relatively specialized, with a handful of dedicated radiotherapy accessory vendors and CT OEM-aligned partners offering highly engineered carbon-fiber solutions tailored to specific scanner models and treatment couches. Differentiation focuses on mechanical compatibility, set-up efficiency, imaging and dosimetric performance, and integration with immobilization systems, rather than on commodity pricing. As cancer incidence rises and more centers adopt advanced techniques such as IMRT, VMAT and image-guided therapy, CT overlays are increasingly treated as a standard component of the planning chain, supporting steady, replacement-driven growth rather than explosive volume expansion.
