Mammography Devices - Market Insights, Competitive Landscape and Market Forecast–2026
MAMMOGRAPHY DEVICES MARKET BY DEVICE TYPE (ANALOG, DIGITAL [FULL FIELD DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY, BREAST TOMOSYNTHESIS, AND COMBINATION SYSTEMS], AND OTHERS), BY END USER (HOSPITALS, SPECIALTY CLINICS, AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTERS), BY GEOGRAPHY IS EXPECTED TO GROW AT A STEADY CAGR (FORECAST PERIOD-2021-2026) OWING TO RISING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND INCREASING PREVALENCE OF BREAST CANCER
Global Mammography Devices Market was valued at USD 1.78 billion in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 9.15% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2026, to reach USD 3.65 billion by 2026. The demand for Mammography Devices is primarily witnessing growth on account of the increasing prevalence of breast cancer, technological advancements in breast imaging, and increasing focus on creating awareness regarding routine breast cancer screening programs.
MAMMOGRAPHY DEVICES MARKET DYNAMICS:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports 2018, breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, irrespective of race or ethnicity. It is also the third-most-common cause of death from cancer among American Indian/Alaska Native women.
As per a report published by Globocan in 2020, breast cancer was the most prevalent type of cancer exhibiting an 11.7% prevalence rate. The five-year prevalence rate for both the genders showed Asia to hold the highest number of affected people at 3,218,496 (41.3%), followed by Europe at 2,138,117 (27.4%) and North America with 1,189,111 people (15.3%). Such high prevalence rate of breast cancer across the globe is one of the key driving factors for the growth of the mammography devices market.
In addition to the abovementioned factors, the global population is aging, and age is considered to be a risk factor associated with breast cancer. It has been reported that women aged 60 years and above account for almost 78% of all breast cancer-related deaths. As breast cancer can be invasive in nature, early diagnosis along with routine checkups across becomes important for women across different age groups. This is further expected to boost the mammography devices market for in the forecast period as the market recovers from the effects of COVID-19.
However, stringent product approval process, adverse effects from radiation exposure and risks associated with mammography and high cost of mammograms are expected to limit the mammography devices market growth over the forecast period.
MAMMOGRAPHY DEVICES MARKET SEGMENT ANALYSIS:
Mammography Devices by Device Type (Analog, Digital [Full Field Systems and Breast Tomosynthesis Systems, and Combination Systems], and Others), Mammography Devices by End User (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, and Diagnostic Centers), and Mammography Devices by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the Mammography Devices market in the device type segment, the digital mammography segment is expected to amass the larger market share during the forecast period. Digital mammography is a specialized and advanced form of mammography that makes use of digital computers and receptors instead of X-ray films to examine breast tissue for the presence of signs of cancer.
Technological advancements have led to the advent of digital mammography. Due to the advantages offered by these systems such superior depiction of low-contrast objects, improved diagnostic quality of images, wider dynamic change as an increasing number of healthcare facilities are shifting toward these newer systems. They also come with the additional feature of soft-copy image displays and soft-copy reading that can be easily shared across devices. These factors have made digital mammography a popular choice among healthcare providers. Furthermore, the added safety associated with the digital mammography systems over conventional systems considering radiation exposure is significantly lower.
Digital Mammography systems can further be sub-categorized into full field mammography systems as well as breast tomosynthesis systems, and combination systems.
NORTH AMERICA IS EXPECTED TO DOMINATE THE OVERALL MAMMOGRAPHY DEVICES MARKET:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to account for the largest share in the mammography devices market. This can be attributed to the growing prevalence of breast cancer and the access to better healthcare infrastructure in the region are predicted to be the major influencing factors in driving the overall growth of the market over the forecast period.
The North American mammography devices market is expected to witness growth due to organization of supportive programs regarding breast cancer education and awareness. One such program is conducted by the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). The organization provides breast cancer education and free mammograms to women in need. The organization conducts numerous programs such as Beyond The Shock, National Mammography Program, Breast Health Awareness, and Patient Navigation.
