The Nuclear Medicine/Radiopharmaceuticals Market size in Latin America is estimated to value USD 0.96 billion in 2022 and USD 1.71 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2022 to 2027.
Nuclear medicine is growing at a fast rate in the pharmaceutical industry. Nuclear medicine is widely used to diagnose and treat many diseases, namely cancer. According to the National Institute of Health report, in Brazil, cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. In addition, according to the Globocan report, there will be over 560,500 new cancer cases in Brazil by the end of 2022. The versatile applications of nuclear medicine to diagnose various cancers are another crucial factor driving the Latin American nuclear medicine market. Furthermore, the prevalence of chronic diseases is at an all-time high due to the increased unhealthy lifestyle of people. In addition, the knowledge about the benefits of nuclear medicine in treating chronic disease is driving the market for nuclear medicine.
The Latin American nuclear medicine market has many new product launches, and technological developments in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). Constant and extensive research and development offer substantial growth opportunities for the nuclear medicine market in the future. Due to the prevalence of cancer, there is a tremendous demand for nuclear imaging technology. Furthermore, interventional nuclear medicine treats many chronic diseases such as hyperthyroidism, skin cancer, thyroid cancer, blood disorders, etc. In addition, pharmaceutical applications of radioisotopes are increasing due to their narrow range of action, which reduces the harmful effects on normal tissues, contributing to new growth opportunities. Hence, all the factors mentioned above are expected to drive market growth.
The growing awareness of early and rapid diagnosis using radioisotopes is the fundamental driver of the market. This high-end radiation therapy is essential for treating several cancers at an early stage, namely lymphomas, neuroendocrine tumors, and degenerative bone disorders. Therefore, the demand for nuclear medicine in Latin America increases during the forecast period.
However, nuclear medicine is a high-end technology, which is not available across all Latin American regions. Lack of awareness about nuclear medicine and the high cost associated with the installation, maintenance, and treatment results in a lower adoption rate in this market. Many hospitals cannot afford such high equipment, especially in developing economies, which is expected to limit the market growth. In addition, radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine have a short life expectancy which is a crucial factor determining the market demand for nuclear medicine.
Additionally, most underdeveloped countries lack reimbursement policies that make it less affordable to the general population. Therefore, the cost of radioisotopes and the lack of a developed healthcare system may reduce the growing demand for the Latin American nuclear medicine market during the forecast period.
