Optical Imaging Segmentation
The market is segmented by technology into optical coherence tomography (OCT), hyperspectral imaging (HSI), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and photoacoustic imaging (PAT), out of which, the OCT segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the optical imaging market in 2021 and is projected to continue this trend over the forecast period. This can be accounted to the increasing adoption of optical imaging procedures for oncology, ophthalmology, neurology and cardiology clinical areas. Furthermore, on the basis of therapeutic area, the segments for ophthalmology and oncology are evaluated to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the coming years owing to the rising prevalence of cancer and vision problems among the elderly, and the escalating demand for early detection and diagnosis of diseases.
