Breast screening equipment (global market)

2019: Breast Screening Equipment Market Volume Reached $3.54 Billion

In early January 2021, a report appeared on the ResearchAndMarkets.com website on the development of technologies for medovisualization of the mammary glands. According to the above data, the global market for the corresponding equipment in 2019 reached $3.54 billion.

The increase in the number of breast diseases in women, especially breast cancer, contributes to the growing demand for these technologies. In addition, the growth of the global market can be attributed to initiatives by governmental and non-governmental organizations to raise public awareness of the benefits of early detection of cancer. Technological advances and the development of advanced health infrastructure also contribute to market growth.

However, the high cost of imaging technologies, screening errors, strict rules, and lengthy approval processes can hinder the development of the breast imaging technology market. On the other hand, increased investment in the health sector, campaigns to reduce breast cancer and increased R&D in the medical sector create new opportunities for producers.

The breast imaging technology market has been segmented by product type and geographic location. In terms of product type, the breast imaging technology market is divided into ionizing and non-ionizing imaging technologies. The ionizing segment is further subdivided into analogue mammography, full-format digital mammography, three-dimensional breast tomosynthesis, positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( PET/CT ), molecular breast imaging/gamma breast imaging (MBI/BSGI), conustronic mammography, and positron computational imaging. The non-ionizing segment is divided into breast MRI, breast ultrasound, optical imaging, automated ultrasound of the whole chest, and chest thermography. Geographically, the market in the study is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world. Moreover, North America accounts for the lion's share of sales of breast screening equipment.^[1]
