This nuclear imaging devices and equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The nuclear imaging devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.15 billion in 2024 to $4.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising use of diagnostic medical imaging, high incidences of cancer and cardiovascular diseases and rising government initiatives.
The nuclear imaging devices and equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising healthcare expenditure, increasing geriatric population and increase in healthcare access. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in pet/ct (positron emission tomography/computed tomography), development of innovative spectral detector angio CT solutions, use of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled applications, focusing on use of latest digital technologies, focusing on product innovation and focusing on partnerships and collaborations.
The growth of the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market is expected to be propelled by the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions in the foreseeable future. Chronic conditions, also referred to as chronic diseases, encompass persistent medical conditions lasting for an extended period, typically three months or more. Nuclear imaging devices and equipment play a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring chronic diseases, offering valuable insights into disease progression, treatment effectiveness, and patient management. For example, as of September 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that chronic diseases contribute to 74% of global deaths, with 41 million annual fatalities. This includes 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2.0 million from diabetes. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions is a significant driver of the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market's growth.
The rising geriatric population is expected to contribute to the growth of the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market. The geriatric population, comprising individuals typically aged 60 years or older, drives the demand for nuclear imaging systems and equipment due to the higher incidence of age-related diseases and conditions requiring advanced diagnostic and monitoring tools provided effectively by nuclear imaging. As of October 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) projected that the global population of people aged 60 years and older will double, reaching 2.1 billion by 2050. Hence, the increasing geriatric population serves as a significant factor propelling the growth of the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market.
Companies within the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market are employing hybrid imaging technologies, including positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT), and positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) for nuclear medical imaging. These hybrid systems offer precise images with improved resolution, providing both morphological and physiological information in a single testing instance. For example, a SPECT/CT system utilized for skeletal evaluation ensures accurate localization and enhances the specificity of information provided by CT.
Major companies in the nuclear imaging devices and equipment market are emphasizing product innovations, such as PET or CT systems, to enhance accuracy in medical imaging. A PET or CT system, combining positron emission tomography and computed tomography, integrates two potent imaging techniques to offer detailed information about the body's structure and function. In October 2022, GE Healthcare Technologies Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, introduced Omni Legend, an innovative all-digital PET or CT system designed to improve diagnostics, enhance efficiency, and align with sustainability goals. This system, featuring a cutting-edge digital detector design, promises heightened diagnostic accuracy and patient care by seamlessly integrating the capabilities of PET and CT imaging in an all-digital format. The system's digital detector design delivers high resolution and unprecedented true NEMA sensitivity, providing the highest sensitivity per centimeter.
