Market Executive Summary

REPORT HIGHLIGHT
The medical imaging market is estimated to represent a global market of USD 32.67 billion by 2017 with growth rate of 5.1%.

Market Dynamics

The global rise in the number of people affected by chronic disease conditions such as respiratory diseases, cardiac disorders, and cancer is expected to drive the market growth significantly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of 2012, more than 117 million populations had one or more types of chronic health conditions across the globe. The organization also stated that in 2014, seven out of ten death was due to the chronic disease condition. Medical imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of such chronic disease conditions, driving the market demand.

In addition, with the convergence of technology breakthroughs, the pace of advancements in this sector is accelerating. Several companies are coming up with novel and innovative technologies in order to diagnose critical disease conditions safely and effectively. For instance, the emergence of diagnostic imaging systems with a lowered dose of ionizing radiation, aiming to reduce adverse effects of radiations to the patients is considered to be one of the important inventions in this area. Moreover, other factors such as the shift from analog to digital technology, favorable government initiatives, and aging population are likely to create further growth opportunities for this industry.
