Research and developments are key factors for market growth. Government funding to healthcare sectors and, most importantly, the medical imaging market is crucial for this market's growth. In developing regions such as Asia-pacific, LAMEA, the market is expected to gain immense growth. Highly populated countries where the geriatric population's ratio is high also hold the largest shares across the globe.
MARKET DRIVERS:
An increase in early detection of diseases and awareness of early diagnosis and treatment, rise in the geriatric population and the pediatrics population are expected to promote the growth rate of the global medical imaging market.
Government initiatives to create awareness of early stages of diagnosis and treatment, investments from government and private organizations to healthcare worldwide fuel up the medical imaging market. Technological advances and developmental activities in this market lead to new inventions such as devices for various disease diagnoses. It is an essential factor for the rising demand for this market. The rising demand for providing knowledge to students in hospitals and universities by providing training for advanced technologies in the medical imaging system influences market growth. With an increase in population and chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancers, cardiovascular issues, and organ failures, the spread of diseases and infections is expected to increase market size.
Various health monitoring systems introduced by the government, easy usage of mobile health systems, subscription plans in healthcare apps, and a rise in vulnerable diseases augment market growth factors. The rise in demand for various medical diagnostic tests such as MRI, Nuclear imagining and PET scan, Ultrasound, Computed tomography (CT) scan, and x Rays are the primary growth contributing factors for the medical imaging market across the globe.
Furthermore, support from the government, Technological advancements in the field, increasing the use of digital imaging in healthcare centers, and growing support from IT sectors also excelled in market growth.
MARKET RESTRAINTS:
High costs involved with the treatment procedures and the rise in complications due to exposure to high radiations are slowly expected to restrain the global diagnostic imaging market growth.
The preliminary reimbursement plans, high costs associated with diagnosis plans and procedures, and helium shortage are expected to hamper the market growth. For operating all the procedures, a lot of skilled workers are needed daily. Hence, the lack of skilled workers and staff in this market will cause low market value. The risk of radiation exposure is high to patients and workers, and staff; this may create significant health issues on daily exposure to radiation. The severe shortage of helium is recorded in many countries in recent times, and the stringent regulations for approval made this market restricted. The repeated quality check and control of medical devices is hard to process.
COVID-19 Impact on the global medical imaging market:
During this COVID-19 pandemic, diagnostic imaging has been used to monitor the patients affected with Coronavirus. For example, ultrasound is used to track the pneumonia symptoms in COVID 19 patients, whereas MRI is for monitoring brain abnormalities in COVID 19 patients. Therefore, the factor mentioned above is expected to drive the market exponentially.
COVID 19 has taught us social distancing is the only key to minimize the infection ratio and preventing the spread of infection. The stringHowever, the regulations, such as travel ban issues and the lockdown, have restricted the market from growing. As manufacturers and distributors of medical imaging systems worldwide are crucial and pivotal for market growth, they were impacted negatively during COVID issues. Governments' focus shift is observed on COVID-19 related issues, and the funding from the government end to the medical imaging market has been in halt. On the other hand, to detect the infection, medical diagnoses such as Ct scan to detect infection rates in the lungs and other blood tests have seen tremendous growth and demand from 2020.
