Moreover, improved access to breast cancer screening systems and expanding government initiatives to support clinical interpretation are key factors anticipated to drive market growth. The demand for mammography screening devices is increasing, primarily due to the rising prevalence of breast cancer among older adults. As the global population grows, many women will reach 60 and above. According to data from the American Cancer Society published in October 2022, 83% of invasive breast cancers were diagnosed in women aged 50 and older in 2022. Breast cancer has a high incidence and fatality rate in this age range, indicating a significant unmet demand for breast cancer diagnostics. The need for mammography is likely to rise as the number of events and fatalities rises. Thus, the increasing geriatric population is expected to propel market growth over the forecast period.

The introduction of new products is expected to boost the adoption rate among end users. Earlier generations of mammography systems provided 2D breast images, limiting the interpretation quality. 2D mammography systems provide Mediolateral-Oblique (MLO) images and Craniocaudal (CC). The flat nature of these images makes it difficult for physicians to interpret images and identify tumors due to the overlapping of tissues and calcifications, which mask cancerous lesions.

With the introduction of a new 3D-based technology called Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), getting a 3D breast image is possible. This permits radiologists to scan the breast slice by slice and recognize abnormalities, which would be blurred in 2D images. Furthermore, the high demand for mammography screening services can be attributed to the improvement in accuracy & efficiency provided by advanced technologies, such as 3D mammography (tomosynthesis), computer-aided detection (CAD), and digital mammography. For instance, in November 2023, GE HealthCare launched the MyBreastAI suite. This AI-powered product combines three AI applications from iCAD: SecondLook for 2D mammography, ProFound AI for Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT), and PowerLook Density Assessment. This suite aims to enhance early detection, improve patient outcomes, and boost operational productivity in radiology departments. These innovations in mammography technology are fueling the demand for mammography products.
