Positron Emission Tomography Market - Global Forecast To 2028

The global positron emission tomography market is projected to reach USD 3.5 billion by 2028 from USD 2.5 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2023 to 2028. Factors such as the high incidence/prevalence of target diseases, growing number of diagnostic imaging centers/procedures, increasing awareness about the benefits of early diagnosis of diseases, and the rapid adoption of technologically advanced imaging systems are responsible for the increasing growth of this market.

“The low-slice sub-segment of PET/CT segment held the largest share of the market in 2022”

Based on product, the positron emission tomography market is segmented into standalone PET systems, PET/CT systems, and PET/MRI systems. The PET/CT segment of the market is further divided into low-slice, medium-slice, and high-slice scanners. The low-slice PET/CT systems subsegment held major share in the market. The systems are particularly useful for imaging small areas, such as the brain, thyroid, or extremities. Moreover, the advantages offered, including lower cost, smaller size, and faster scan times led to the major share of the segment.

“The cardiovascular applications segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period”

Based on application, the positron emission tomography market is broadly categorized into oncology, neurological, cardiovascular, and other applications. Advancements in PET scanner technology is expected to drive the adoption of these systems for cardiovascular application. Modern PET scanners offer improved image resolution, faster imaging times, and the ability to combine PET with other imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT). This integration allows for more comprehensive assessments, enabling the simultaneous evaluation of cardiac structure, function, and perfusion, leading to accurate cardiac disease diagnosis.

“The market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.”

The positron emission tomography market in the APAC region is expected to register a CAGR during the forecast period, primarily due to the rapid economic growth in emerging APAC countries, increasing healthcare investments, improvements in healthcare systems, and the flourishing medical tourism market in APAC countries,.
