Positron emission tomography (PET) scanners are widely used for medical examinations, providing information on the activity of cells in the human body in a non-invasive way. For PET scans, radioactive drugs (tracers) are generally injected into the hand or arm to detect abnormal metabolism in diseases. This tracer then collects where metabolic or biochemical activity is higher, which often identifies the area of disease. Global positron emission tomography scanners market trends such as molecular imaging approaches for breast cancer and hybrid imaging systems including PET/CT and PET/MRI are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, growing demand for PET analysis in radiopharmaceuticals along with developments in nuclear medicine imaging is expected to enlarge the global positron emission tomography scanners market size during forecast period. Nuclear medicine is widely used in hospitals, owing to the extensive application of radiopharmaceuticals in treatment. For instance, nuclear medicine procedures account for over 35 million procedures annually, and demand for radioisotopes is rising by up to 4% each year.

Global Positron Emission Tomography Scanners Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

• Rising Prevalence of Breast Cancer Around the World -according to the World Health Organization, in 2020, breast cancer affected 2.3 million women and caused 685 000 deaths worldwide. By the end of 2020, 7.8 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. There is a high rate of mortality and morbidity associated with breast cancer in women worldwide. Imaging biomarkers have provided clinically useful information for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. There have been several studies published and products launched regarding PET-based imaging of breast cancer.

• Developing Guidelines for Radiopharmaceutical Manufacturing- for instance, the International Atomic Energy Agency sanctioned a project in February 2020, offering guidance and technical assistance on manufacturing cyclotron-based gallium-68 radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals.

• Increasing Cases of Huntington's Disease Worldwide - it is estimated that approximately 40,000 Americans suffer from Huntington's disease and another 300,000 are at risk for the disease per year. The symptoms usually appear between the ages of 25 and 50. 

• Increased Government Expenditures on Healthcare-according to World Bank data, Global health expenditures increased from 9.7% in 2018 to 9.84% in 2019.

• Growing Geriatric Population Across the Globe - according to the data released by World Bank, the number of geriatric people at the end of 2021 was 747,238,580 worldwide.

Challenges

• Higher Cost Associated With the Positron Emission Tomography Scanners 
• Stringent Set of Regulatory Guidelines For the Product
• Short Life Expectancy of the Scanner

The global positron emission tomography scanners market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end user into hospitals, diagnostic centers, PET centers, and research institutes. Among these segments, the end user segment is anticipated to capture the largest market size in the global positron emission tomography scanners market owing to the increasing number of medical professionals specialized in PET and the rising demand for early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Additionally, the growing use of PET scanners in hospitals is expected to drive segment growth over the forecast period. It was observed that in 2019 approximately 2,050,000 clinical PET scans were performed in about 2,300 hospitals in the United States. In addition, the number of PET scans performed in 2018 increased by 6% over 2017.

Major Macro-Economic Indicators Impacting the Market Growth

According to the statistics by the World Health Organization, the global per capita healthcare expenditure amounted to USD 1,064.741 in the year 2017. The worldwide healthcare expenditure per person grew from USD 864.313 in 2008 to USD 1,110.841 in 2018, where the U.S. is the top country that amounted to healthcare expenditure of USD 10, 623.85 per capita in 2018. As of 2018, the domestic general government healthcare spending in the U.S. was USD 5355.79, which grew from USD 3515.82 in 2008. These are some of the factors responsible for market growth over the past few years. Moreover, as per the projections by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the estimated average annual percent change related to National Health Expenditures (NHE) in the U.S. was 5.2% in 2020 as compared to 2019 (4.5%). Furthermore, the National Health Expenditures are projected to reach USD 6,192.5 Billion in 2028, where the per capita expenditure is estimated to touch USD 17,611 in the same year. These are notable indicators that are anticipated to create lucrative business opportunities in upcoming years.
