Global Computed Tomography Market Outlook: Market Segmentation By Type, By Application, By End User & by Region with Forecast 2017-2030

Global Computed Tomography Market Overview

Diagnostic radiology has been revolutionized by computed tomography (CT). The basic principle of axial and radial or spiral has transformed the medical imaging world from 2D to 3D organ visualization. Since the CT’s inception in 1970, 62 million estimated scans per year are reported in US. X-ray imaging procedure is being replaced by CT due to the involvement of the larger radiation doses that are efficiently utilized in clinical applications. There has been study going on the cancer risks associated with CT scans due to the radiation exposure to organs. There is lifetime risk of death from cancer that is attributed to generic CT scan of head or abdomen. CT has made enormous technical advances since its arrival into clinical diagnosis and has largely impacted patient care.

Toshiba highlight imaging capability improvements to Aquilion One Genesis and Aquilion Lightning 80, along with Celesteion PureViSION Edition PET/CT for cancer care. Hitachi Supria True64 CT receives FDA clearance that offers true 64-slice imaging across full 40 mm detector coverage.

Growth Drivers and Challenges

Increasing awareness among health conscious people, advent of preventive healthcare, health insurance coverage policies and alarmingly high occurrence of cardiovascular, inflammatory and spinal diseases are the major drivers of the global CT market. Further, Properties like temporal resolution, imaging speed, volumetric coverage, and appropriate amount of radiation doses with advanced reconstruction method and detector technology makes CT the attractive segment in diagnostic imaging market. Further improvements in speed, spatial resolutions and dose efficiency for the next generation CT devices tend to drive the global CT market.

Stringent regulations for the approval of CT devices due to the side effects of ionization radiation and heavy calcification producing blooming artifacts are hindering the global computed tomography market.

Market Size and Forecast

The global computed tomography market clocking a healthy CAGR of 5%. Currently medium slice is the dominating segment with the market size of USD 1.89 billion in 2016 while with rapid advancement and wide acceptance of high slice CT, high slice CT market tends to dominate in the forecast years. On the basis of application, cardiovascular CT’s acquire the largest market share of approx 35% followed by oncology, abdomen and pelvic, spinal, pulmonary angiogram and others.Geographically, North America tends to maintain its dominance over the global computed tomography owing to increasing healthcare expenditure, improving healthcare infrastructure, rising geriatric population. Europe and APAC CT market is expected to witness highest growth rate of 6-7% over the forecast period.
