MARKET DRIVERS

Rising R&D, Cancer Imaging Advances, and Lifestyle Diseases Fuel PET Scanner Demand in APAC

Growing investments in R&D activities assist manufacturers design efficient treatments or pharmaceuticals to battle diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurological disorders like epilepsy, which is another driving driver for the APAC positron emission tomography (PET) scanner market. Arsenic 72 and (18F)-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxythymidine (18F-FLT) are two newer PET oncology biomarkers. Different modalities of therapeutic procedures, such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, have evolved in cancer management. PET systems are widely utilized to provide complex images for further assessing the tumor's genesis and metastatic disease, and they are widely employed to provide reliable evaluation and diagnosis of tumor growth. Furthermore, the growing use of hybrid imaging techniques, combined with government reimbursements in this country, is creating prospects for PET scanner makers.

Obesity and cardiovascular diseases are examples of lifestyle-related disorders that have become an issue and are a primary cause of high mortality rates.

Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, overweight/obesity, and dyslipidemia are only a few of the critical risk factors that can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease. As a result, the rising frequency of lifestyle-related disorders has boosted demand for medical imaging, likely to drive PET system growth over the forecast period. Clinical trials, such as radiation planning using fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), are also projected to impact the industry in the future substantially. The investment rate has risen dramatically in recent years as the number of people employed by these businesses has grown.  

Furthermore, competitors in the market for positron emission tomography (PET) scanners have been focusing more on enhancing PET sensitivity, which necessitates 3D imaging and a broader axial field. To improve the overall quality of imaging and resolution, significant efforts have been undertaken to promote the adoption of positron emission tomography (PET) scanners for cardiac and respiratory patients. As a result, a growing number of positron emission tomography (PET) scanner manufacturers are concentrating on enhancing the quality of PET pictures by increasing spatial resolution and sensitivity while also improving spatial accuracy.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Shorter radioisotope half-lives and stringent regulatory guidelines are projected to stifle market growth during the forecast period.
