As per our report, the size of the global breast imaging market is anticipated to grow at 8.58% CAGR from 2020 to 2025. The global market was valued at USD 3.5 billion in 2020 and is forecasted to raise USD 5.3 billion by 2025.
In medicine, breast imaging is the representation or reproduction of a breast's form. There are various methods of breast imaging. Scintimammography is a type of breast imaging test that involves detecting cancer cells in the breasts of some women who have had abnormal mammograms or for those who have dense breast tissue, post-operative scar tissue, or breast implants. Still, it is not used for screening or in place of a mammogram.
MARKET DRIVERS:
Rising incidences of breast cancer across the world and growing prevalence for early diagnosis of disease are majorly propelling the growth of the global breast imaging market to the extent. Besides, the rise in the geriatric population, increasing initiative steps by the government in spreading awareness over the treatment procedures for breast cancer in rural areas are featuring to expand the growth of the breast imaging market. Also, the rise in the focus on determining dense breast tissue with these imaging techniques is spurring the market's demand.
The emergence of the latest technological developments in the medical sector is solely to surge growth opportunities for the market. The rise in investments from both government and non-government organizations, the growing urbanized population, and the rising number of research and development institutes to introduce highly featured products are ascribed to bolster the demand of the breast imaging market. A rise in healthcare spending, increasing the constructional activities of hospitals with advanced equipment to improve diagnosis and therapeutics procedures, is straight impacting the market growth towards positive.
MARKET RESTRAINTS:
The cost of installing and maintaining the devices is a bit expensive, and this has been a major challenging factor for the market developers. The lack of skilled persons in monitoring the systems effectively is slowly restraining the demand of the breast imaging market. The rise in the complexity of real-time applications and system failures is inhibiting the growth rate of this market. Frequent changes in the technologies may also decline the demand for the breast imaging market. These devices' exposure to high radiation, where they show adverse effects on the patients, is also impeding the market's growth.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global breast imaging market:
The COVID-19 has been named a pandemic by the WHO and has affected many healthcare applications worldwide. The pandemic has impacted negatively on the breast imaging market. Many women postponed or canceled their diagnostics and examinations due to the spread of COVID 19. The activities were resumed in the last months of 2020 by taking certain precautions in the laboratories and diagnostic centres. Mammography departments among the hospitals are facing new challenges. Few centres have launched new diagnosis methods such as tele-mammography consultations. The impact of COVID-19 has got an immense effect on the breast imaging market. Few countries have cancelled breast screening and diagnosis and decided to treat the patients in emergency need of treatment.
