Straits Research released its highly anticipated report, “Global Dual And Multi Energy Computed Tomography Market Size & Outlook, 2026-2034”. According to the study, the market size is valued at USD 1.04 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 2.06 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.88%.
The global dual & multi‑energy computed tomography market is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions. These conditions require early and accurate diagnosis, and dual/multi energy CT systems provide enhanced tissue characterization, virtual non contrast imaging, and improved lesion detection, which significantly improve diagnostic confidence. The rising focus on early detection, personalized treatment planning, and efficient disease management is further accelerating the adoption of these advanced imaging modalities worldwide.
A notable restraint affecting market growth is the high cost of dual and multi energy CT systems. These scanners involve substantial capital investment, along with ongoing maintenance expenses and the need for specialized personnel to operate and interpret the scans. Such economic challenges limit accessibility, in smaller healthcare facilities, which slows the adoption despite the clinical advantages of the technology.
On the other hand, there is a significant opportunity in integrating artificial intelligence and enhancing workflow efficiency in CT imaging. AI supported reconstruction algorithms, automated analysis, and dose reduction techniques are making dual/multi energy CT faster, safer, and more accurate. Additionally, the expansion of preventive healthcare initiatives, such as lung cancer screening and cardiovascular risk assessment programs, is creating opportunities for wider deployment in emerging markets.
