Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from procedure volumes: annual PET-CT scan counts across hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers and mobile units, drawn from national reimbursement claims data (CMS HCPCS codes for PET and PET-CT procedures in the United States, NHS England diagnostic imaging activity statistics) and realized average price per scan taken from published payer fee schedules and self-pay rates. Installed hybrid scanner counts are estimated from OEM shipment disclosures and national radiology equipment registries, then multiplied by average annual utilization and service attach rates for maintenance and software. This bottom-up total is checked against disclosed imaging-segment revenue in GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers and Koninklijke Philips filings; where the two diverge, the bottom-up utilization or price assumption is the one corrected, not averaged against the disclosed figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target radiology department administrators and imaging center operations managers who set scan volumes and pricing; procurement and biomedical engineering leads who make capital purchase and service contract decisions; nuclear medicine physicians and radiopharmacists who describe tracer availability and referral patterns; and reimbursement specialists at payer organizations. Sampling weights toward the United States, Germany, Japan and China, the four markets with the deepest installed base and the most complete procedure-level reimbursement data, with lighter coverage across the Middle East and Latin America, where scanning capacity concentrates in a small number of urban centers.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on CMS Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System rate schedules and HCPCS utilization data for PET and PET-CT procedures, FDA 510(k) clearance listings for hybrid PET-CT systems, NHS England diagnostic imaging activity statistics, Japan's MHLW reimbursement fee schedule for nuclear medicine, and IAEA radioisotope production and licensing records that bound radiopharmaceutical supply. Company-level detail comes from GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, Koninklijke Philips and Canon Medical Systems annual reports, cross-checked against national radiology equipment registries reporting installed hybrid scanner counts.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from projected procedure volume growth tied to rising cancer incidence and screening guideline expansion, the pace of hybrid scanner installations replacing older standalone systems, and gradual reimbursement code expansion in markets that currently under-cover PET-CT relative to the United States. Pricing is held roughly flat in real terms in mature markets and modeled to decline modestly per scan as utilization scales in emerging markets. The 2020-2021 procedure volume dip from deferred elective and diagnostic imaging is treated as a temporary disruption and normalized out of the underlying trend. For the forecast to hold, oncology referral volumes must keep growing in line with cancer incidence trends and no major reimbursement rollback should occur in the largest markets.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Historical 2020-2024 figures are back-tested against recorded procedure volume growth reported in national diagnostic imaging statistics and against year-on-year revenue growth disclosed by the largest scanner manufacturers, confirming the bottom-up build tracks reported trends rather than a smoothed approximation. Segment share shifts, particularly the move toward mobile and outsourced scanning models, were reviewed against operating data from mobile imaging service providers. Sensitivities were tested on scanner utilization rate and average price per scan, the two inputs the total is most sensitive to, confirming the forecast range holds under slower-than-expected utilization growth.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmest in the United States, Germany and Japan, where procedure-level reimbursement data and disclosed manufacturer revenue both exist and broadly agree. It is thinner in the application split between cardiology, neurology and oncology use outside these three markets, where procedure-level coding is coarser, and in the mobile and outsourced service segment generally, where operating data carries less granularity. A material reimbursement policy change in any anchor market, or a disruption to radiopharmaceutical tracer supply, would be the most likely trigger for a revision.
