The growing patient population suffering from breast cancer in the European region is majorly propelling the European mammography market growth. As per the data published by The European Breast Cancer Coalition, an estimated 1 in 11 women are likely to develop breast cancer before age 74 in EU-27 and an estimated 355,500 breast cancer cases were recorded in 2020 in EU-27. Furthermore, the growing number of female employees in the European region and an increasing number of breast cancer awareness programs for employed women at their working organizations are favoring the Europe mammography market growth.

In addition, the growing awareness about the mammography benefits among the European population is contributing to the European mammography market growth. As per recent reports, mammography screening programs in Europe help reduce breast cancer mortality rate by about 30 percent in women aged between 50- 75. Therefore, the government in this region decided to conduct several awareness programs in every area to inform the women population of mammogram screening, which helps increase the quality of life. In addition, they also provide video-based and paper-based information to clearly understand breast cancer symptoms and the procedure for every uneducated and educated woman.

The rapid adoption of technological advancements in mammography tests is further fuelling the growth rate of the European market. The key market players and manufacturers are focusing on the development of advanced devices for mammography. In addition, image quality plays a significant role in mammography testing. Therefore, manufacturers are focused on providing high-quality mammography equipment at an affordable cost for the hospital and diagnostic centers. The growing R&D activities around mammography, increasing support from the European governments in favor of mammography and favorable reimbursement policies for mammography in the European region are supporting the growth rate of the European market.

The growing healthcare expenditure is another key factor favoring the mammography market growth in Europe. European Commission takes several measures in the prevention of breast cancer among the women population. It has recommended that women who are aged above 50 must undergo mammography testing, which reduces the breast cancer rate in the region. Increasing demand for mobile mammography in the region boosts market growth in Europe. This mobile mammography is well equipped with all the digital 3D technology to help to detect breast cancer in its early stage, helping the women complete mammography testing without leaving their workplace or community.

On the other hand, the side effects associated with mammography such as radiation is majorly hampering the European mammography market growth. In addition, inaccurate results from the test, lack of infrastructure in rural hospitals, and lack of awareness about mammography tests are the other factors that hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
