The size of the nuclear medicine diagnostic market in the Asia Pacific is estimated at $2.01 billion in 2018 and is poised to reach $3.86 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 13.9%.
Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation to deliver information about the functioning of a person's specific organs or to treat a disease. In most cases, the information helps to assist the physicians to make a quick and accurate diagnosis of the patient's illness.
SPECT imaging is the most conventional modality for nuclear medicine applications such as nuclear cardiology procedures. However, the trend is soon going to see a downturn owing to the shortage of molybdenum-99 isotope which in turn will lead to a deficiency of Technetium-99, which is the by-product of molybdenum. Therefore, PET imaging products include hybrid PET-CT scanners are anticipated to account for a potentially hefty market share in the near future.
The emerging-market tendency will be a fusion of nuclear imaging with different diagnostic imaging products such as SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and MRI/PET. This provides a full range of imaging scans through the same unit and at the same time. PET market is expected to witness the fastest growth compared to SPECT imaging as it delivers higher resolution images and the technetium-99m is forcing the industry to look for alternative diagnostic procedures
Increasing usage of SPECT and PET in medical diagnostics, rising awareness among people about radiopharmaceuticals, and ready availability of radiopharmaceuticals are some of the factors fuelling the growth of the market. However, shorter half-life of radioisotopes, regulatory guidelines, high capital investment, and reimbursement issues are acting as hurdles for the nuclear medicine market growth.
