APAC Nuclear Imaging Market

APAC Nuclear Imaging Market Size (2022 to 2027)

The size of the Nuclear Imaging Market in the Asia Pacific is forecasted to register a CAGR of 9.64% from 2022 to 2027. As a result, the size of the market is estimated to value USD 6.44 billion by 2027 from USD 4.07 billion in 2022.

Technological developments, expanding diagnostic applications in different diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and the increased burden of these chronic diseases are primarily expected to drive the APAC nuclear imaging market expansion. In addition, the region's higher disease incidence raises the requirement for sophisticated technology such as nuclear imaging. These facilities are available because of a significant investment in healthcare infrastructure and medical research. In addition, these countries' per capita incomes are rising, making such technology more affordable. The Asia-Pacific nuclear imaging market has grown due to an increase in the incidence and prevalence of target conditions, advances in imaging methods employing radiopharmaceuticals, and a spike in SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans. Aside from data integration, there is a significant possibility to make data available via mobile technology. This allows clinicians to examine and analyze scans from any location. Companies are concentrating on developing systems with integrated technologies due to the benefits and ease of integrated systems and the high demand from doctors.

Additionally, the shift from standalone to hybrid modalities, advances in radiotracers, the growing focus on personalized medicine, investments in diagnostic imaging centers through public-private partnerships are expected to generate lucrative growth opportunities for the market to grow during the forecast period. With data integrated, imaging systems, image processing and reconstruction, computer-assisted medical condition diagnosis, 3D picture generation, and the use of appropriate quality control systems are all possible. In addition, physicians may quickly compare scans with data integration to efficiently monitor disease development. In the forecasted period, growing technical developments increased the need for trained experts, increased demand for data integrated imaging systems, and increased demand in this nation will all offer new opportunities for the nuclear imaging equipment market.

The key restraints for the APAC nuclear imaging market include increased research and development costs, the higher cost of nuclear imaging systems, and highly advanced hybrid nuclear imaging equipment. In addition, the market's growth is expected to be hampered by the short half-life of radiopharmaceuticals, supply instability, logistical challenges, and rigorous regulatory rules, as well as competition from traditional alternative diagnostic techniques. The radioactive Tc99m (technetium 99), the most widely used isotope for imaging the body in nuclear medicine scans, is now in low supply in nuclear imaging, which is one of the significant challenges to the market.
