In addition, the rise in neurological disorders such as pituitary tumors, dystonia, brain tumor, gliomas, and others where intraoperative imaging is required to assist in surgery would also contribute to the global market for such imaging equipment. For instance, as per the statistic published by the GLOBOCAN directory in the year 2020, an estimated 3, 08,102 new brain and central nervous system cancer cases were reported across the globe in the year 2020. Thus, the increasing burden of various disorders would contribute to the market for intraoperative imaging due to the benefit offered by the equipment in maximizing the extent of resection in patients with high-grade glioma. In addition, the intra-operative imaging technologies reduced the number of surgical revisions for incorrect positioning for all spine procedures and also reduce the operating time.
Also, technological advances such as higher resolution imaging, 3D imaging, and the emergence of portable/hand a held based intraoperative imaging systems, and the incorporation of robotics, among others that have allowed practitioners for carrying out more effective and accurate surgeries are also anticipated to increase the demand for intraoperative imaging systems. For instance, on February 22, 2021, Brainlab AG received FDA clearance for Loop-X, the first fully robotic intraoperative imaging device.
Hence, all the aforementioned factors are expected to augment the global market for intraoperative imaging.
However, the high cost of the intraoperative machine and stringent regulatory approval process for these systems are likely to impede the market for intra-operative imaging.
Also, the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial effect on the intraoperative imaging market. This is due to the stringent guidelines implemented by various governments across the globe, delays in various elective surgeries, halt in manufacturing facilities, among others have also slowed down the market for intraoperative imaging. However, the global launch of different vaccines and implementation of a mass vaccination drive is expected to normalize the market growth in the post-pandemic situation.
Intra Operative Imaging Market Segment Analysis:
Intra Operative Imaging Market by Product Type (Intraoperative CT, Intraoperative MRI, Intraoperative Ultrasound, C-Arm System, Others), By Application (Neurosurgery, Orthopedic & Trauma Surgery, Oncology Surgery, ENT Surgery, Others), By End-User (Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centres), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the Intra Operative Imaging sequencing type segment, the intraoperative CT is anticipated to hold a significant market share during the forecasted period. This is owing to the wide application of the system such as in reconstruction surgery, neurovascular surgery, spinal surgery, among others. Moreover, benefits associated with intraoperative CT like enhanced patient safety, smooth navigation during the workflow, and a reasonable cost-benefit ratio, among others could also increase their demand.
In addition, an increase in reconstructive surgeries which includes birth defects, breast reconstruction surgeries, maxillofacial surgeries, and others would also contribute to the segmental growth of the intraoperative imaging market.
For instance, according to the statistics published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in the year 2020, a total of 6,878,486 reconstructive procedures were performed in the US out of which 256,085 were maxillofacial surgery which increased by 23% from the year 2019.
Thus, rising such surgical procedures could benefit the segmental growth as intraoperative computed tomography (CT) provides surgeons with real-time feedback during maxillofacial trauma and reconstructive surgery.
Furthermore, shifting key players' focus on developing intraoperative CT systems for pediatric patients is also expected to surge the segmental market. For instance, in the year 2018, Mobius Imaging, LLC (Stryker), received 510(k) clearance for its Airo® Mobile CT Imaging System for pediatric applications.
Hence, all the aforementioned factors are projected to bolster the demand for intraoperative CT systems in the upcoming years.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Intraoperative Imaging Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to occupy a major share in the overall intraoperative imaging market during the forecasted period.
