As a result, the development of breast imaging technologies is critical in reducing the incidence of breast cancer and the risk factors linked with it. As a result, an increase in the prevalence of breast cancer is anticipated to boost the market share of breast imaging technologies. Hence, demand for breast imaging in the market is increased.  

Breast Imaging Market Size

Global breast imaging market size was valued at USD 4.79 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 9.51 billion by 2031, with a CAGR of 8.97% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2031.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Breast Imaging Market Definition

Breast imaging is a type of medical technology that is used to identify or diagnose breast cancer in women. By giving radiological pictures of women's breasts, breast imaging medical technology aids in diagnosing many breast-related disorders. Nuclear imaging, mammography, breast ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the types of breast imaging technology. The main goal of this test is to detect breast cancer and other breast-related disorders at the earliest possible stage, when they are still treatable.

Breast Imaging Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing prevalence of breast cancer will drive the market's growth rate

Breast imaging aids in the diagnosis of breast cancer and other related problems, hence the market is expected to grow greatly as the number of cases of breast cancer rises.

Additionally, the rising number of government initiatives to spread awareness among people about the early detection of breast cancer will be a major driver influencing the breast imaging market's growth rate. Another significant factor resulting in the expansion of market is the advancement of technology in breast imaging modalities. Furthermore, rising geriatric population and increasing level of public-private investments, grants and funding are the major drivers that will enhance the growth of market.

Opportunities

• Growth in R&D activities will boost many market opportunities during the forecast period  

Moreover, the rise in the number of research and development activities will provide beneficial opportunities for The breast imaging market growth. Along with this increase in technological development in the field of medical devices will further expand the breast imaging market's growth rate in the future.

• Emerging markets of breast imaging is the major driver creating new market opportunities

Emerging markets such as Asia-Pacific are likely to boost the industry in the future. In the region, breast cancer is becoming more common. In developing nations, efficient early detection of breast cancer is critical, as the majority of breast cancer patients are detected later, resulting in higher mortality rates.

Restraints/Challenges

• Associated risk from radiation exposure will create challenges for the market growth

Breast imaging is crucial for detecting breast cancer in its early stages. Several breast imaging modalities, however, use ionizing radiation for diagnosis. Ionizing radiation is used in digital mammography (DM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), as well as possible new breast screening techniques including contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), whole-breast CT (WBCT), breast-specific gamma imaging (BSGI), molecular breast imaging (MBI), and positron emission mammography (PEM). Therefore, rising risk from radiation exposure will further challenge the breast imaging market.  

On the other hand, high cost associated with imaging systems or technology will obstruct the market growth. Also, unfavourable reimbursement scenario in developing and underdeveloped economies will pose a major challenge for breast imaging market. However, strict regulatory approval processes and emergence of unfavourable conditions due to COVID-19 outbreak will act as restrain and further impede the growth rate of market during the forecast period of 2024-2031.

COVID-19 Impact on Breast Imaging Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative influence on a number of markets around the world. It also had a considerable impact on breast imaging procedures. Lockdowns and other restrictions implemented by governments throughout the world have impeded market demand. Furthermore, governments have implemented restrictions to suspend elective and non-urgent medical treatments in order to slow the spread of the virus.

Furthermore, the fear of catching the virus led to a large drop in breast imaging diagnosis, particularly during COVID-19's first wave in 2020. According to research released by Breast Cancer Now (UK) in September 2020, COVID-19 has caused over 9,86,000 women in the UK to skip their breast screening appointments. According to a paper published in the Eurasian Journal of Medical Investigation in 2020, there was a 64 percent decline in mammography, a 47.7% decrease in breast ultrasound, and a 41.7 percent decrease in breast MRI cases in Turkey when compared to data from 2019. Hence, COVID-19 had severely impacted the breast imaging market.
