Dual And Multi Energy Computed Tomography Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Dual-source, Rapid Kilovoltage Switching (kVp), Dual-Energy Computed Tomography (CT), Energy-Sensitive Sandwich Detectors and Other Products), Type (Retrospective, Prospective and Other Types), Application, End User,and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Dual and Multi Energy Computed Tomography Market is accounted for $1.6 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.2 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Dual and multi-energy computed tomography (CT) are advanced imaging techniques that provide enhanced diagnostic capabilities compared to traditional single-energy CT scans. These technologies involve the simultaneous acquisition of multiple sets of images at different energy levels, allowing for improved tissue characterization and diagnostic accuracy. The global application of dual and multi-energy CT has broadened the scope of medical imaging, offering clinicians’ valuable insights into tissue composition and improving diagnostic confidence.
According to data of the National Institutes of Health, patients age 65 and older undergo diagnostic imaging two or more times than that of younger people. Women also tend to need imaging slightly more than men.
Market Dynamics:Driver:Increased awareness and education
Healthcare professionals and institutions become more informed about the capabilities and benefits of dual and multi-energy CT, leading to a heightened interest and inclination to incorporate these advanced imaging technologies into clinical practice. Furthermore, educational initiatives, training programs, and knowledge dissemination efforts contribute to a better understanding of the diagnostic advantages offered by dual and multi-energy CT, which are propelling this market expansion.
Restraint:High cost
The sophisticated nature of these systems involves complex hardware and software components, which contributes to their high cost. This high cost can pose a financial challenge for healthcare providers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Additionally, the ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and servicing of these systems can be expensive. This can result in a disparity in access to advanced imaging technology, potentially impacting patient care and outcomes, which is impeding market growth.
Opportunity:Technological advancements
There has been substantial progress in enhancing imaging capabilities and diagnostic accuracy. These advancements facilitate better tissue characterization, making dual and multi-energy CT particularly valuable for differentiating between various types of tissues and detecting subtle abnormalities. Moreover, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into dual and multi-energy CT systems has revolutionized diagnostic workflows, which drives this market size.
Threat:Lack of standardization
The lack of standardization refers to the absence of uniformity and consistency in terms of imaging protocols and data analysis techniques, which pose challenges in data interpretation, comparison of results, and the exchange of information between different systems and institutions. Moreover, the absence of standardized protocols for acquisition and reconstruction parameters hampers consistency in image quality and diagnostic accuracy. This hinders collaboration and research guidelines for the clinical use of dual and multi-energy CT scanners.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had several negative impacts on the market. The diversion of healthcare resources and priorities towards managing the pandemic has slowed down investments and the adoption of advanced imaging technologies. Moreover, the pandemic has disrupted the supply chain for medical equipment, leading to delays in manufacturing, shipping, and installation, which have thereby hampered market growth.
The rapid kilovoltage switching (kVp) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The rapid kilovoltage switching (kVp) segment is estimated to hold the largest share due to its pivotal role in enhancing imaging capabilities. This technology involves the rapid alteration of X-ray tube voltage during image acquisition, allowing for the generation of multiple energy levels almost simultaneously. Furthermore, the ability to acquire images at different energy levels enhances contrast resolution and provides valuable information for various clinical applications, which is propelling this segment’s growth.
The retrospective segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The retrospective segment is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to a mode of image reconstruction that allows healthcare professionals to retrospectively analyze and manipulate acquired images after the initial scan. Moreover, healthcare providers benefit from the retrospective capabilities of dual and multi-energy CT as it enhances their ability to make informed decisions during the diagnostic process, which is boosting this segment’s expansion.
Region with largest share:Asia Pacific commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising healthcare awareness, and advancements in medical technology. In countries like China, Japan, India, and South Korea, there is a growing demand for advanced diagnostic tools to address the healthcare challenges associated with an aging population and the increasing burden of diseases. In addition, the market is driven by a surge in research and development activities, and local medical technology firms.
Region with highest CAGR:Europe is expected to witness highest CAGR over the projection period, owing to the emphasis on improved diagnostic accuracy and enhanced visualization of anatomical structures and the need to invest in state-of-the-art dual and multi-energy CT scanners. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into dual and multi-energy CT systems has further strengthened diagnostic capabilities. Moreover, regulatory initiatives and standards in Europe have been conducive to ensuring the safe and effective implementation of these technologies, which is boosting regional growth.
