Forecasts (2023-2032): China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific (ROAPAC)
What's inside (APAC only frameworks & tools)
GTM Growth & Maturity - APAC vendor map; Regulatory Velocity; OEM AI Attach Rate; GTM Readiness Radar; Country tiered landscapes & timelines (China, Japan, India, South Korea, ANZ, ROAPAC).
Why This Report
APAC is the fastest growing region in AI imaging, moving from ~US$0.61B (2023) to ~US$7.3B (2032) -about 31% CAGR-and overtakes Europe before decade end. Buyers need region specific evidence, attach rate ladders, and country GTM tools to move from pilots to scale; this Pulse report delivers exactly that, in one region focused volume.
Who Should Buy
Imaging OEMs, PACS/VNA and cloud vendors building APAC bundles and tenders
AI pure plays localizing modules and pricing for China, India, ASEAN, Japan/Korea, and ANZ
Investors and channel partners vetting evidence, regulatory velocity and GTM maturity
Buyer Benefits
1. Size the opportunity by country and segment with defendable numbers tied to attach rate assumptions (CT ~10% of new units; MR ~8%; DR ~6% base year).
2. Prioritize where to play using regional frameworks (GTM Growth & Maturity, Regulatory Velocity, GTM Readiness) and country tiered landscapes/timelines.
3. Localize go to market with regulatory and procurement checklists (NMPA, PMDA, MFDS, TGA, HSA, CDSCO), cloud/data residency cues, and pricing archetypes (license vs. pay per use).
4. De risk pricing & deployment with Numbers in Context (OEM vs. pure play split, retrofit share, attach rate ladder) and Pulse Quick Actions for the next 12 months.
5. Evidence & QA ready-every table and split passes a documented QA loop and cites the evidence stack used in the APAC model.
Snapshots & Takeaways
APAC growth arc: ~US$0.61B -> ~US$7.3B (2023-2032), ~31% CAGR; APAC's share of the global market nears 30% by 2032.
Where revenue concentrates: CT/MR remain the core; fastest unit scale comes from POCUS ultrasound and low bandwidth DR in India/ASEAN; PET/Nuclear grows off oncology theranostics.
Clinical engines: Oncology, Neurology (stroke), and Cardiology together deliver ~75% of absolute growth to 2032.
Shift in revenue mix: Hardware share declines as fleets modernize; Software + Cloud/Pay per Use expand fastest (enterprise suites in JP/KR/ANZ; pay per study in India/ASEAN).
Attach rate baseline: CT ~10% -> rising with OEM bundles; MR ~8%; DR ~6%; retrofit dominates incremental dollars as the installed base upgrades.
What to act on in 12 months: File top modules per market (NMPA/PMDA/MFDS/TGA/HSA/CDSCO), pre validate on local clouds (data residency), lead with AI recon + stroke triage (JP/KR/ANZ) and DR chest/echo AI pay per study (India/ASEAN).
Methodology & QA
Forecasts reconcile top down APAC totals to the global rollup and bottom up attach rate flows by modality (shipments, installed base upgrades, factory vs. retrofit attach, and local ASP bands). The APAC model is anchored by regulatory lines NMPA / PMDA / MFDS / TGA / HAS / CDSCO), ABDM digital health rails for India, and peer reviewed RWE. A four point QA loop checks reconciliation variance (Less than or equal to 0.5%), regulatory count deltas, evidence freshness, and ASP sanity for each country/modality.
