Sales Analysis of Market from 2017 to 2022 Vs Market Outlook for 2023 to 2033

The global market recorded a historic CAGR of 4.1% in the last 5 years from 2017 to 2022.

Due to a number of factors, such as an increase in the prevalence of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases, an increase in the world's geriatric population, and the introduction of technologically advanced products, this market's growth is expected to rise significantly over the course of the forecast period.

In comparison to the early stages of CT scanners and mammography equipment, medical imaging has advanced significantly over the years. Healthcare professionals now have access to new angles, resolutions, and details that provide a more comprehensive view of the body parts while lowering the radiation dosage for patients owing to 3D medical imaging. Additionally, 3D medical imaging provides sharper images of bones and a clear visualization of blood vessels.

  • Applications for computer-assisted detection (CAD) and image analysis have developed as a result of developments in 3D imaging. Almost every modality on the market is being driven by this, particularly tomographic imaging methods. Also, the use of these devices has grown as a result of surgeons utilizing 3D imaging to plan surgeries and procedures, there has been an increase in the use of 3D imaging for the diagnosis of breast cancer, which allows for a better visualization of tissue than traditional mammograms. The market is expected to grow in the future as a result of utilization of imaging equipment.

Increased prevalence of numerous diseases, including respiratory, orthopedic, and cardiovascular diseases, has increased need for diagnostic equipment and services worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 17.9 Billion deaths in 2019, or 32% of all deaths worldwide. Heart attack and stroke related deaths accounted for 85% of these deaths. Nuclear imaging equipment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CT scanners are important diagnostic equipment for cardiovascular diseases. Rising cases of these diseases are driving up demand for effective diagnostic equipment such as medical imaging equipment.

The global market is likely to show high growth over the coming years at a CAGR of 4.8 % and reach a global market size of US$ 64.8 Billion by 2033.

How Can the Global Market Grow?

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 majority of the demand for X-ray and MRI equipment arises from these nations. As a result, emerging nations are playing an essential role in the expansion of the global market for medical imaging equipment.

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 global geriatric population is increasing at a significant rate. According to WHO estimates, globally, there were over 1 billion people over the age of 60 in 2019. The number of elderly individuals is expected to reach 1.4 billion at the end of 2030 and around 2 billion by the end of 2050. This increase is happening at an extraordinary pace, especially in emerging nations, which will ultimately fuel the market to further expand.

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.

Can the Market Growth Be Affected in Any Way?

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.

  • Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), a medical device manufacturer is required to pay an additional MDET (Medical Device Excise Tax) of 2.3% on sales in the U.S.

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.
