“Growing Incidences of Tuberculosis (TB), Rising Geriatric Population, and Adoption of AI in Data Management”
According to the WHO, 10 Billion people develop tuberculosis (TB) each year. TB kills 1.5 Billion people annually, making it the leading infectious disease in the world. The majority of TB patients reside in low- and middle-income economies. As per the same source, majority of individuals with tuberculosis live in eight countries, Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Nigeria, and South Africa.
The need for healthcare products and services will increase as the geriatric population increases since this group of people are more susceptible to illnesses including respiratory (tuberculosis and pneumonia), oral, orthopedic (osteoporosis), and cardiovascular diseases. Early detection of these disorders is essential for making decisions and ensuring effective care. Imaging techniques such as X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, and computed tomography (CT) can be used to accurately diagnose these disorders. As a result, throughout the forecast period, an ageing global population is expected to drive the market.
The market will be driven in the future by the increasing prevalence of bone arthritis and the growing need to recognize, supervise, and treat conditions like swelling, or infection in the internal organs, spinal injuries, dental problems, tendon/ligament tears, etc. Besides that, the market will also be supported by the adoption of AI and growing industry-wide collaborations. For instance, O2 Investment Partners collaborated with Modular Devices, Inc. in January 2022 in order to support the company's growth and provide better imaging modalities in the future.
“High Costs of Advanced Medical Imaging Equipment Coupled with Low Adoption of Such Devices in Underserved Regions”
The high cost of digital radiology equipment like X-ray machines, MRI scanners, and CT scanners has been a major barrier to market growth in developing nations. In many regions, alternative techniques like ultrasound being used in substitute of expensive digital imaging equipment. Secondly, growth is anticipated to be mediocre due to the high number of patients who suffer from claustrophobia, even after paying a premium for high resolution imaging equipment. These factors are expected to slow the adoption of advanced medical imaging technologies, hindering the market's expansion.
Due to this, medical device manufacturers are compelled to pay a set amount on the sale of particular medical equipment. The U.S. Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation had predicted that from 2013 to 2022, excise taxes would bring in around US$ 29 billion. As a result, the implementation of this act will almost certainly result in manufacturers of medical imaging equipment incurring an additional 2.3% excise duty. This aspect is somewhat limiting market expansion as well.
