Mammography Market Size & Trends

The global mammography market size was valued at USD 2.1 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3% from 2023 to 2030. The rising prevalence of breast cancer and increasing demand for early-stage diagnosis amongst patients are some of the key factors anticipated to drive demand for breast cancer diagnostic devices, such as mammography over the forecast period. Increased access to breast cancer screening systems and growing government initiatives to support clinical interpretation are some of the pivotal factors expected to propel the mammography market’s growth. For instance, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) had introduced a healthcare program to increase the screening procedures in medically underserved areas. BreastScreen Australia is a collaborative initiative of the Australian and state and territory governments that aims to reduce breast cancer illness and death by detecting the disease early. Women over the age of 40 are eligible for a free mammography every two years, and women aged 50 to 74 are actively encouraged to screen. In October 2021, Goa government launched an initiative for free breast cancer screening for 1 lakh women. Breast cancer screening will be carried out at 35 Health Centers across Goa as part of this campaign. Such initiatives are expected to positively impact the mammography market in coming years.

U.S. Mammography market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant reductions in cancer screening, cancer management visits, and cancer procedures across the globe. According to a study in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, at the peak of the pandemic in 2020, mammograms dropped to a dramatic low, reducing by up to 92% in some areas in the U.S. According to the FDA, the number of women examined for breast cancer in 2021 was 38.8 million, implying that hundreds of thousands of women in the U.S. may have missed or delayed screenings owing to the pandemic. This decline in screening volume caused by the COVID-19 has presented radiologists with additional challenges.

The repercussions of delayed cancer detection owing to COVID-19 were investigated in a study undertaken in the UK and published in the Lancet Oncology in March 2021. The study covered data from over 100,000 people with breast, colorectal, esophageal, or lung cancer. The study found that 1 and 5-year cancer survival rates will be severely reduced because of the outbreak of COVID-19, owing to the lack of availability of screening services. As a result, owing to lockdowns, screening services were disrupted to some extent that lowered the demand for mammography systems. This negatively impacted the mammography market.

However, numerous physician reports from the U.S. have observed a growing number of screening appointments during the last quarter of 2020 which is expected to continually rise to reach pre-covid levels by latter half of 2021. In addition, adoption of AI technologies on a larger scale, clinicians will be able to manage their workload more effectively and with more precision, potentially reducing inequities in patient care. The number of screening mammograms is expected to witness an increasing trend post pandemic. This will positively contribute to market growth in coming years.

Furthermore, as the world's population is rising, a large proportion of women might reach the age of 60 or older. Women over the age of 60 account for about 78% of all breast cancer-related fatalities. 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, increasing geriatric population is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

Product Insights

The digital systems segment dominated the market with market share of 60.5% in 2022 and is expected to witness considerable growth over the forecast period. Many organizations took decisive measures to manage these diseases because breast cancer patients are at a higher risk of contracting the infection. According to a study published in Medicina Clnica Journal in September 2020 by Dafina Petrova et al., the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR), and the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) have published some guidelines on how to modify treatment protocols to minimise risks in cancer patients. The enhanced guidelines might allow for more efficient surgical procedures, which would benefit treatments. Such occurrences are expected to contribute to the growth of the digital systems market.

A further aspect of segmental expansion is product introductions. For instance, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. introduced ScreenPoint Medical's FDA-cleared Transpara powered by Fusion AI for 2D and 3D mammography in the United States in August 2021. The "Harmony" version of Fujifilm Europe GmbH's Amulet Innovality mammography equipment was also introduced in Germany in April 2021. AMULET Innovality is a Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) that uses Fujifilm's special and cutting-edge technology to produce the best images with the least amount of radiation exposure to the patient. Therefore, despite the new technology's cost being greater than that of conventional systems, digital mammography is becoming the screening method of choice.

The 3D systems segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 13.2% over the forecast period. This is owing to several advantages, hospitals & diagnostic clinics are switching to 3D systems as 2D systems are often ineffective in detecting every sign of cancer, increasing the need for additional screenings, which, in turn, increases the overall diagnostic cost. Moreover, the widespread adoption of 3D systems is owing to technological benefits such as increased breast cancer detection rates, the ability to manage bigger procedure volumes, and a more advantageous reimbursement scenario.

Technology Insights

In 2022, digital mammography technology segment accounted for the maximum revenue share with more than 66.6% owing to the various advantages of the digital mammography technology. Digital mammography is a specialized and sophisticated form of mammography that examines breast tissue for the presence of cancers using digital sensors and computers rather than X-ray films. In most countries, conventional screen-film mammography (SFM) with high spatial resolution has been the preferred choice for screening programs. However, with the introduction of digital mammography, a growing number of countries are shifting toward these newer systems, owing to their superior depiction of low-contrast objects, wider dynamic change, and enhanced diagnostic quality of images, particularly when evaluating denser breasts.

Global Mammography market share and size, 2022

The breast tomosynthesis technology segment is expected to witness the fastest growth with CAGR of 12.2% over the forecast period. Digital breast tomosynthesis is a high-resolution limited-angle tomography technology that uses X-rays to create a 3-dimensional image of the breast. It is a new technique that aids in the identification of breast cancer in its early stages. Digital breast tomosynthesis is very useful in analyzing dense breasts and can enhance the ability to detect breast cancer. It minimizes the number of false-positive readings (readings that identify normal tissue as abnormal) and the necessity for a biopsy. It is suitable for any women, but it is especially good for those with dense breasts.

End-use Insights

Hospitals dominated the end-use segment in 2022 with a share of around 45.6% in terms of revenue. The presence of mammography facilities within a hospital can positively affect various factors, such as duration of hospital stay, total healthcare cost, quality of care, and availability of emergency care. For instance, in September 2019, Parkside Hospital in Wimbledon installed a 3Dimensions mammography system from Hologic that enables high resolution breast tomosynthesis.

Large hospitals usually have in-house mammography facilities; however, the requirement of high investments & frequent maintenance, space, and skilled professionals can act as an entry barrier. This can burden hospitals trying to manage their medical imaging facilities. To reduce this burden and to increase the reach of their facilities and services, hospitals can partner up with diagnostic centers for providing medical imaging facilities.

The diagnostic centers segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to an increase in awareness about breast cancer. This has accelerated the demand mammography procedures used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and prevention of breast cancer. The availability of advanced mammography services in diagnostic centers of developed & developing economies, such as the U.S., Germany, the UK, Japan, China, and India, is expected to propel the overall segment.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the mammography market in 2022 with a share of around 36.1% in terms of revenue and is expected to exhibit considerable growth rate over the forecast period. Rising incidence of breast cancer is one of the major factors driving the mammography market growth in North America. According to the American Cancer Society, an approximate 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer among women would be detected in 2020. Furthermore, 48,530 cases of in situ breast carcinoma in women have been discovered, and the number of breast cancer cases is predicted to rise in the coming years.
