The global breast imaging market size is expected to reach USD 12.03 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 9.7% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth mainly owes to the increase in the number of women suffering from breast cancer. For instance, according to Robert Koch Institute, the annual incidence of breast cancer in Germany was estimated to be approximately 72,000, with breast cancer being the most prevalent cancer in women. Moreover, as per a similar source, based on the incidence rate, one in eight women is expected to suffer from breast cancer once in a lifetime. Thus, impelling the market over the forecast period.
Furthermore, the rising initiatives by various governments and NGOs to raise awareness about early diagnosis of breast cancer are anticipated to increase the demand for breast imaging. For instance, Pink Initiative, form Breast Cancer India is an online initiative program in which the program covers important topics such as early detection of breast cancer, and familial breast cancer, through their YouTube channel. Similarly, a joint initiative between Australian & state territory governments, ‘BreastScreen Australia’ is aimed at reducing deaths & illness from breast cancer by early detecting cancer. In this program, women aged 40 and above can have a free mammogram every 2 years. This is expected to increase awareness, and increase the demand for breast imaging, thereby, propelling the market growth.
Major manufacturers are introducing new products and increasing the number of approved products, which is further expected to impel the demand in the coming years. For instance, in March 2018, The MAMMOMAT Revelation platform, from Siemens Healthineers, for enhanced mammography has been approved by the U.S. FDA. To target afflicted areas with only one click, this platform combines a new InSpect specimen imaging tool and new HD Breast Biopsy technology. In addition, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast imaging has reduced the time required while maintaining image quality. Such product developments are expected to propel market growth.
