The technological and industrial advancements in the field of medical artificial intelligence (AI) may be associated with the rapid growth of companies in this sector. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the growth opportunities in the medical AI industry and companies engaged in one or more AI-related businesses. Secondary data analysis was performed using the 2021 artificial intelligence industry survey data collected from September 2021 to November 2021. In order to observe the relationship between the medical artificial intelligence industry and company growth opportunities, the medical artificial intelligence industry, company growth opportunities, difficulties, Artificial intelligence start year, Main business field, sales volume, listing status, corporate affiliated research institute, AI main business, Percentage of Data Utilization variables, Rao-Scott cross-test, and logistic regression analysis including covariates were performed. Among all companies, when the AI application industry included medical AI, the OR for the company growth opportunities was 1.80 (P-value 0.031, 95% CI 1.06-3.06). For the medical artificial intelligence industry, the OR was 2.28 (P-value 0.016, 95% CI 1.17-4.46). In artificial intelligence companies, medical artificial intelligence-related industries can play a role in enhancing the growth potential of companies. In order to improve the growth potential of artificial intelligence companies, there is a need to consider the implementation of medical artificial intelligence-related industries and implement support policies that consider the timing of the company’s entry into the artificial intelligence industry. Therefore, the government needs to revise industry policies to actively establish laws, regulations, and policies, and further enable medical AI to perform a smooth role as a new growth engine.
