Molecular Imaging Market Growth & Trends

The global molecular imaging market size is anticipated to reach USD 11.44 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.52% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The major factors contributing to market growth include technological advancements, increase in prevalence of cancer, and rising investment in R&D. For instance, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, approximately 19,976,499 new cancer cases and 9,743,832 cancer-related deaths were reported globally in 2022.

The growing prevalence of chronic disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological conditions necessitates effective diagnostic tools, which are expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the molecular imaging market. Molecular imaging devices such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography), SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer are particularly efficient in this regard. These advanced technologies provide detailed insights into the metabolic processes, molecular activities, and structural changes associated with various diseases. They enable healthcare professionals to visualize and assess the extent and characteristics of tumors, cardiac function, and neurological abnormalities with high precision and accuracy.

Moreover, molecular imaging facilitates early detection of diseases, even at subclinical stages, allowing for timely intervention and personalized treatment planning. This proactive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces healthcare costs associated with advanced disease stages and complications.

Strategic initiatives undertaken by major market players, including mergers and acquisitions, product launches, regulatory approvals, partnerships, collaborations, and research and development (R&D) activities, play a crucial role in driving the growth of the molecular imaging market. For instance, in January 2024, Bruker Corporation successfully installed a state-of-the-art 1.2 Gigahertz (GHz) NMR system at The Ohio State University’s National Gateway Ultrahigh Field NMR Center. This GHz-class NMR system represents a significant advancement in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, aiming to revolutionize research in life sciences and materials science.
