NEUROIMAGING MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2023 - 2030)

The neuroimaging market size is expected to reach US$ 56.58 Billion by 2030, from US$ 37.63 Billion in 2023, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during the forecast period.

Neuroimaging is the use of medical imaging techniques to study the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. It is used to diagnose and treat a variety of neurological disorders, including Alzheimers disease, stroke, and brain tumors. Increasing incidence of neurological disorders is a major driver of the neuroimaging market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 estimates, neurological disorders affect 1 in every 6 people worldwide. The aging population is also a major factor driving the growth of the market, as neurological disorders are more common in older adults. Growing demand for personalized medicine is another major driver of the neuroimaging market. Personalized medicine is a field of medicine that tailors treatment to the individual patient. Neuroimaging can be used to identify the specific changes in the brain that are associated with a particular disease. This information can then be used to develop personalized treatment plans.

Analysts View of the Neuroimaging Market:

The neuroimaging market is poised to grow substantially in the near future driven by several factors. Rapid advancement in neuroimaging technologies is allowing researchers to better understand brain structure and function. Moreover, rising incidence of neurological disorders such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and stroke is fueling demand for neuroimaging procedures for diagnosis and treatment management. Furthermore, increasing application of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for pre-surgical mapping and tumor localization will present multiple opportunities in the market.

Neuroimaging Market Drivers:

• Advancements in imaging technology: Continuous technological advancements, such as higher resolution imaging, functional imaging, and real-time data processing, enhance the accuracy and capabilities of neuroimaging techniques. For instance, in November 2021, Royal Philips, a global health technology company; announced new artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled innovations in magnetic resonance imaging technology. The product was launched ate the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. Philips new MR 5300 system which was being introduced for the first time at RSNA 2021, received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
• Growing prevalence of neurological disorders: Rising incidence of neurological disorders, including Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, and stroke, fuels the demand for neuroimaging tools for early diagnosis and monitoring. For instance, in 2020, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 5.8 million Americans were living with Alzheimers disease.

Neuroimaging Market Opportunities:

• AI and Machine Learning Integration (MLI): Leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for data analysis and interpretation can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of neuroimaging techniques. For instance, in December 2021, Biogen Inc., a company focused on discovering, developing, and delivering therapies for serious neurological diseases; and TheraPanacea, a highly innovative information technology company; announced that they have entered into a collaboration focused on multiple therapeutic area in neuroscience, to build up companys existing relationship. The aim is to leverage machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) analysis to develop digital health solutions that may improve patient care, accelerate drug development, and understand the underlying pathologies of neurological diseases.
• Remote imaging solutions: Developing remote neuroimaging solutions for telemedicine and remote patient monitoring can tap into the evolving healthcare landscape. For instance, in April 2020, GE Healthcare, a global medical technology and digital solutions innovator; introduced a new software solution to support clinicians and health systems in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The company launched Mural Virtual Care Solution, which is designed to give hospitals a broad view across their ventilated patient population and help to identify patients at risk of deterioration, to the highly secure and trusted Microsoft Azure cloud platform.

Neuroimaging Market Trends:

• Functional imaging advancements: Increasing focus on functional imaging techniques like functional MRI (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) for mapping brain activity and connectivity. For instance, in October 2022, GE Healthcare, a global medical technology and digital solutions innovator; introduces Omni Legend, the first system on its all new, all-digital PET (Positron Emission Tomography)/CT (Computed Tomography) platform. This cutting edge system features a brand-new category of digital BGO (Bismuth germanium oxide) (dBGO) detector material with a small crystal size that delivers more than two times the sensitivity of prior digital scanners, thus enabling faster total scan times and impressive small lesion detectability.
• Teleimaging and remote monitoring: Expanding applications of neuroimaging in telemedicine and remote patient monitoring enables consultations and diagnostics from a distance.

Neuroimaging Market Restraints:

• High equipment costs: The initial investment and maintenance costs of neuroimaging equipment, such as MRI and PET scanners can be prohibitively expensive for healthcare facilities.
• Limited accessibility: Accessibility to neuroimaging services may be limited in some regions, especially in low-income areas, thus leading to disparities in healthcare access.

Counterbalance: The market players should focus on increasing the availability of neuroimaging services to regions, like the low-income areas which lacks proper healthcare accessibility.

Complexity of data interpretation: The complexity of neuroimaging data analysis and interpretation requires specialized training and expertise, thus leading to challenges in resource-constrained settings.
