Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
The primary factors driving the growth of the global photoacoustic imaging market are:
- growing aging population
- Increasing Incidence of Chronic Diseases
- Growing healthcare expenditure
Growing life expectancy results in the falling death rate is the major factor driving the growth in the geriatric population. According to the World Population Ageing 2019, the world’s population aged 65 years and above is expected to grow from 703 million in 2019 to 1.5 billion by 2050. Older people need extensive care, as they are more susceptible to illnesses owing to their low immunity level and longer recovery time. Thus, the older population hugely contributes to the growth of the photoacoustic imaging market.
Challenges
Despite the growth opportunities, the photoacoustic imaging market faces certain challenges. These include the high cost of imaging systems, lack of reimbursement policies for photoacoustic procedures, and limited awareness among healthcare professionals about the technology.
Opportunities
Several factors contribute to the growth of the photoacoustic imaging market. These include increasing research and development activities in the field, rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders, technological advancements in imaging modalities, and growing demand for non-invasive diagnostic procedures. Photoacoustic imaging has a wide range of applications across various medical fields. It is used in oncology, dermatology, neurology, cardiology, and other areas of clinical research. The ability of photoacoustic imaging to provide both anatomical and functional information makes it valuable in diagnosing and monitoring diseases.
Geographic Overview
Geographically, North America is the largest revenue contributor in the photoacoustic imaging market. The growing aging population, increasing healthcare expenditure and growing incidence of chronic diseases in the region are the key factors responsible for its growth.
