Elastography Imaging Market Size & Trends

The global elastography imaging market size was valued at USD 2.12 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.30% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing prevalence of chronic liver and breast cancer, coupled with a growing demand for advanced diagnostic techniques, stands as significant drivers for the market. Additionally, a strong preference for minimally or non-invasive surgical procedures is anticipated to further propel market growth throughout the forecast period.

U.S. elastography imaging Market size and growth rate, 2024 - 2030

The elastography technique is garnering increased popularity and acceptance among both patients and physicians, primarily owing to its non-invasive characteristics and precise assessment of tissue mechanical properties. Advanced elastography systems not only offer detailed quantitative but also qualitative diagnostic capabilities. The rising demand for sophisticated diagnostic techniques in developing nations is anticipated to displace traditional ultrasound methods with elastography, significantly boosting the market.

Shear wave elastography provides a large number of advantages over other diagnostic techniques. The technique helps reduce the need for biopsy in various breast conditions. It is widely used to assess liver conditions before and after transplantation and monitor the degree of liver cirrhosis. Increasing incidence of breast and liver conditions is expected to boost demand for elastography systems.

Elastography has potential applications in early detection of tumors. It can be used effectively to accurately detect tiny nodules in glands. This is expected to increase the adoption of elastography in preventive healthcare. Further, an increasing number of ongoing studies to assess potential applications of elastography is expected to fuel the market during the forecast period. A large number of these studies include ophthalmic applications such as analysis of oculomotor muscles and assessment of mechanical properties of cornea.

Regional expansion driven by increasing healthcare infrastructure investments, growing awareness of non-invasive diagnostic methods, and the adoption of advanced imaging technologies, particularly in emerging economies.

Modality Insights

The ultrasound segment held the largest share of over 69.36% in 2023 owing to benefits such as affordability, short turnaround time, and easy availability. Ultrasound elastography is gradually replacing conventional ultrasound devices used for organ assessment and biopsy procedures.

The MRI segment is expected to show lucrative growth during the forecast period. The utilization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gaining prominence as the preferred method for diagnosing liver diseases. The increasing adoption of MRE can be attributed to its precise results and the painless nature of the procedure, which collectively contribute to the growth of this segment. MRE proves to be an effective tool for diagnosing advanced liver fibrosis, aiding in gauging the severity of liver disease and assisting in determining the appropriate course of treatment.

Application Insights

The general imaging segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2023 due to its widespread utility across various medical disciplines. Elastography, as a non-invasive technique for assessing tissue stiffness, finds extensive use in general imaging applications, including liver disease diagnosis, cancer detection, and musculoskeletal assessments. Its versatility allows healthcare professionals to obtain valuable information in routine clinical settings, contributing to its dominance as a go-to diagnostic tool.

The breast segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR over the forecast period due to the increasing demand for non-invasive and accurate diagnostic tools in breast health assessment. Elastography imaging offers a valuable adjunct to traditional breast imaging methods by providing insights into tissue stiffness, aiding in the early detection and characterization of breast lesions.

End-use Insights

The hospital segment dominated the market in 2023owing to increasing number of ultrasound and MRI-based elastography surgeries. Moreover, increasing number of cancer cases are expected to contribute toward the growth of the segment.
