Global Market for Imaging CRO is Anticipated to grow at a Significant Pace i.e., USD 8.8 Billion during the Forecast Period 2025 - 2030

Published Date: Mar, 2024

The global imaging CRO market is growing rapidly at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period 2025-2030. The rising number of clinical trials, development in the pharmaceutical industry, mounting awareness towards process automation, increased demand for high precision in drug manufacturing, and growing dependence of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies on the CROs to conduct imaging trials will propel the growth of the global imaging CRO market. Several businesses in imaging CRO have undertaken substantial initiatives to build their position in the worldwide imaging CRO industry, where several players are fiercely battling for dominance. Despite the fact that they are currently trailing the industry leaders, some of these companies have made great progress toward becoming big players as a result of measures to extend their individual product portfolios and geographic reach. Nevertheless, the industry players are adopting strategies like a novel product launch, M&A to sustain their share and diversify the product portfolio.

In September 2023, the world's premier ophthalmology imaging core lab, Digital Angiography Reading Center (DARC), has been acquired by WorldCare Clinical (WCC), a worldwide imaging core lab situated in New York. Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, Branch and Central Vein Occlusion, Choroidal Melanoma, Uveitis, PCV, and Retinitis Pigmentosa are just a few of the problems that DARC has studied.

During the first wave of the pandemic, most regions were under strict lockdown, and clinical trial operations that included imaging were deemed non-essential. With an increase in clinical studies, particularly for COVID-19, the market is predicted to normalize in the first half of 2021. During the pandemic, the number of clinical trials for COVID-19 treatment and vaccine development increased dramatically. In the coming years, the development of new vaccines and treatment regimens is projected to increase demand for imaging CRO.
