Straits Research released its highly anticipated report, “Global Mobile MRI Services Market Size & Outlook, 2026-2034”. According to the study, the market size is valued at USD 2.78 billion in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 4.86 billion by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.42%.
The global mobile MRI services market is expanding steadily as healthcare systems prioritize flexible, high quality diagnostic imaging without the need for permanent onsite infrastructure. A key market driver is the growing demand for rapid, accessible imaging in rural, and high patient volume regions, where hospitals face capacity constraints and long wait times. Mobile MRI units ranging from high field trailer mounted systems to emerging low field portable devices enable providers to extend advanced diagnostic capabilities directly to community clinics, long term care facilities, and temporary clinical settings. This improves patient throughput, reduces delays in diagnosis, and supports value based care initiatives.
However, the high capital and operational costs associated with deploying and maintaining mobile MRI fleets restrain the market growth. Expenses related to equipment acquisition, staffing, routing logistics, regulatory compliance, and routine maintenance are substantial, making the model challenging for smaller providers with limited reimbursement support. These barriers also contribute to uneven adoption across global markets, especially in developing economies where imaging budgets are constrained.
Despite these challenges, a strong market opportunity lies in the integration of mobile MRI services with digital health ecosystems such as teleradiology, AI supported image interpretation, and remote workflow management. As AI improves image quality, automates preliminary reads, and assists with triage, mobile MRI operators enhance efficiency and expand service coverage without proportionally increasing staffing levels.
