Diagnostic imaging refers to various methods of peering inside the body to ascertain a diagnosis and determine the origins of an illness or injury. Additionally, doctors use it to assess how well a patient's body responds to fracture or illness treatment. Diagnostic imaging enables medical professionals to see inside patient’s body to help them look for any signs of a health issue. Images of the processes and structures inside patient’s body can be created using certain tools and techniques. Depending on the body part they are examining and patient’s symptoms, doctor will decide which imaging tests are necessary. Numerous imaging procedures are simple, painless, and non-invasive. However, some will require to remain motionless inside the machine for a considerable amount of time, which can become somewhat uncomfortable. Some tests expose test subjects to a small amount of radiation. A small camera on a long, thin tube will be inserted into patient’s body by the physician for additional imaging tests. A "scope" is the term used to describe this item. Once inside an organ, such as patient’s heart, lungs, or colon, they'll move the scope through a bodily opening or passageway. For these procedures, patient might require anaesthesia. Health Images offers a full array of diagnostic imaging services, including the MRI Scans, MRA Scans, CT scans, Ultrasound, X-rays, Mammography, Bone Density Scans, Arthrogram, Myelogram.
The demand for point-of-care imaging systems and the surge in enhanced optical image demand for more accurate disease and disorder diagnosis are the main factors driving the growth of the global medical imaging market share. Additionally, the rise in chronic disease incidence and technological developments in medical imaging are anticipated to drive the market's expansion. Additionally, the market will grow more quickly due to favourable regulatory conditions for medical imaging modalities for better patient management and rising usage of medical imaging in digital health. Important market players are refocusing their efforts on value-based radiology and patient-centred imaging. Numerous imaging modalities, such as MRI, ultrasound, mammography, 3D imaging, and nuclear imaging, among others, have undergone various advancements. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 80% of the elderly in the US suffer from at least one chronic condition. These factors are expected to increase the growth of the diagnostic imaging market during the forecast period.
The major market opportunity for diagnostic imaging is found in developing nations like South Africa, Russia, India, China, and other affluent economies. Although affordability is a concern in these developing nations, their enormous populations, particularly in India and China, provide a stable market for diagnostic imaging equipment. The greater prevalence of chronic conditions like cancer, stroke, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the higher death rates in these nations, highlight the importance of early detection.
One of the main market restrictions to market growth is product price fluctuations. The market growth of standalone imaging modalities is negatively impacted by the technological constraints attached to them. For instance, MRI requires more time to scan large areas or produce images with high resolution, whereas PET has a lower level of spatial resolution. Ultrasound systems have limited tissue depth penetration, a high operator dependence rate.
In response to mounting government pressure to reduce healthcare costs, a number of healthcare providers have allied with group purchasing organisations (GPOs), integrated health networks (IHNs), and integrated delivery networks (IDNs). These groups pool the purchasing power of their members and haggle with medical device suppliers and manufacturers for a fair price. For large purchases of diagnostic imaging devices, GPOs, IHNs, and IDNs engage in intense bargaining. The above factors are expected to hamper the growth of the diagnostic imaging market.
The report analyses the global diagnostic imaging market based on the by modality, contrast agent, application, end users and geography.
Diagnostic Imaging Market by Type
The computed tomography (CT) segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The high growth of the CT scan market can be attributed to the rising need for early and precise diagnosis along with the widespread use of CT scanners in hospitals and diagnostic facilities worldwide. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the demand for CT scanners has been steadily rising. A CT scan of the chest is almost always required to track the course of the disease and is crucial for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
The Iodinated contrast media segment is anticipated to hold the majority of market share during the forecast period. For use in x-ray-based imaging techniques like computed tomography, iodinated contrast media are contrast agents that contain iodine atoms (CT). Additionally, they can be used in fluoroscopy, venography, angiography, and occasionally even plain radiography. Over the course of the forecast period, gadolinium contrast media is anticipated to expand significantly. The rare earth metal gadolinium is chelated to a carrier ligand to form gadolinium contrast agents, which are molecular complexes. They fall under the category of paramagnetic contrast agents, which make up the majority of MRI contrast media.
The cardiology segment is anticipated to experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. Cardiology's share of the Diagnostic Imaging market has grown significantly as a result of the rise in cardiovascular patients brought on by unhealthy eating habits and changing lifestyles. Contrarily, orthopaedics is anticipated to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period. The demand for the orthopaedic segment is being driven by the growing elderly population and the increase in traffic accidents. Additionally, the availability of cutting-edge diagnostic tools is promoting market expansion.
The hospitals segment is expected to increase during the forecast period. The advancement of the industry will be aided by the increased demand for medical imaging equipment in hospital settings, such as MRI systems and CT scanners, for precise diagnosis during procedures. Hospitals are also well-equipped with medical imaging equipment and have qualified medical staff on staff, allowing for precise treatment and body part diagnosis.
The North America is likely to gain major market share and maintain its dominance over the estimated time period. The primary factor of market demand is the United States, which holds the lion's share of the market for diagnostic imaging. This is because of the country's higher affordability rates among the populace, growing number of diagnostic procedures performed annually, and the country's rapid technological advancements. The Ysio Max digital radiography system, which has new detectors and usability features that enhance imaging and speed up exams, was also approved by the FDA in October 2020 and was manufactured by Siemens Healthineers. Furthermore, the market is anticipated to expand over the course of the forecast period due to the presence of well-established healthcare facilities, rising demand for cutting-edge healthcare systems among the ageing population, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases.
