Egypt, Israel, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are the only countries in MEA that have production facilities of Mo99 and can convert Mo-99 to Tc-99. Other countries in this region import radioisotopes or cold kits to meet consumer demand.
The most commonly used radioisotopes in this region are Tc-99 and I-131. In addition, increasing availability of Ga-68 generators is expected to increase the use of PET scans. On the other hand, the most widely used therapeutic radioisotopes include Lu-177, Y-90, Re-188, I-131, and Sr-89. Nuclear medicine has major potential in treating cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Consequently, such diseases are crucial factors for market growth. For instance, according to a study by the Abu Dhabi Health Department in 2018, annually, there approximately 4,500 new cancer cases in the UAE. Moreover, WHO stated that in the Middle East, including the UAE, cancer cases are estimated to double by 2030. All these factors are expected to propel market growth.
