Egypt Diagnostic Imaging market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The factors responsible for the growth of the market are increased investment & reimbursement programs by the government, rising need for early detection tools, technical developments to enhance turnaround time, and construction of new facilities by market participants in developing countries. Diagnostic imaging, which includes techniques such as X-ray, CT scans, MRI, and ultrasound, is a critical component of modern healthcare, providing physicians with a non-invasive way to diagnose and monitor a wide range of diseases and conditions.

Additionally, the growing geriatric population and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases are also propelling the growth of the market. In Egypt, the demand for diagnostic imaging services has been increasing due to the country's growing population and rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

The Egyptian government has been actively working to improve the country's healthcare infrastructure and increase access to diagnostic imaging services. In recent years, the government has invested in the construction of new hospitals and clinics, as well as the installation of modern diagnostic imaging equipment. These investments have helped to expand access to diagnostic imaging services in both urban and rural areas of the country. This, in turn, cooperates in boosting the growth of the Egypt Diagnostic Imaging Market.

Moreover, Egypt is also becoming a popular destination for medical tourism in recent years, and this has led to an increase in the demand for diagnostic imaging services. The country's medical tourism industry has been growing rapidly, with many patients from other countries coming to Egypt for medical treatment. The growth of the medical tourism industry has resulted in an increase in the number of private clinics and diagnostic centers that offer advanced diagnostic imaging services, which has further driven the growth of the market.

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, are becoming more prevalent in Egypt. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Egypt, accounting for 42% of all deaths. Cancer is also a significant health concern, with breast cancer being the most common type of cancer among women in Egypt. Also, the advanced technological advancement with the highest accuracy and precision and the growing awareness amongst the population globally is projected to propel the growth of the market. For instance, According to the latest report of the World Health Organization, in 2020, liver cancer deaths in Egypt accounted for 24,512 or 4.57% of total deaths. Therefore, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases has increased the demand for diagnostic imaging equipment, as these machines are crucial for the early detection and diagnosis of these diseases.

Growing Healthcare Infrastructure

Egypt has been investing heavily in its healthcare infrastructure in recent years, which has led to increased expenditure on medical equipment, including diagnostic imaging equipment. The country has implemented several initiatives to improve its healthcare system, such as the establishment of the Universal Health Insurance System, which aims to provide universal health coverage to all Egyptians. These initiatives have led to an increase in the demand for diagnostic imaging equipment, as more hospitals and clinics are being built and equipped with modern diagnostic imaging machines. For instance, the private and government institutes are investing in the healthcare infrastructure of the country, which is expected to support the growth of the Egypt diagnostic imaging market in the upcoming five years.

The government has put forth a plan to build various hospitals, clinics, diagnostic clinics, etc., and invest more than USD75 billion in the healthcare infrastructure, thus supporting the growth of the Egypt diagnostic imaging market. Moreover, the growing population, demanding diagnostic services is also aiding in its growth. The rising geriatric population is also one of the major reasons for the growth of the Egypt diagnostic imaging market in the next five years.

Also, an increased focus on innovative equipment and advanced labs is also anticipated to substantiate the growth of the Egypt diagnostic imaging market in the future five years. Additionally, increased demand for diagnostic tests like routine blood and urine tests, high-end genetic analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, molecular expression testing, etc., are also aiding the growth of the Egypt diagnostic imaging market in the forecast years until 2028.

Rising Demand for Medical Facilities

Over 100 million people live in the borders of Egypt, making it one of the most populated Arab nations in the world, while an additional 10 million people reside outside of its borders, with population growth at a 2.5% annual pace. Therefore, the demand for medical facilities in the healthcare sector is growing in Egypt. Non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease, are currently the leading national cause of death in Egypt. Moreover, Non-communicable diseases account for approximately 82% of all deaths and 67 % of premature deaths. Early detection of chronic diseases increases the rate of survival among patients. Hence, the demand for medical facilities is driving the growth of the Diagnostic Imaging market in Egypt.

Rising Elderly Population to Drive the Growth of Egypt Diagnostic Imaging Market

The geriatric population constitutes 15% of the total Egypt population. Growing aging populations are associated with an increase in chronic illness prevalence, which is predicted to lead to more hospital admissions and demand for Diagnostic Imaging facilities. Additionally, the aging population leads to a number of chronic diseases and is one of the most frequent reasons for injuries and hospital admissions. Presently there are 5.5 million over the age of 65, but this number is expected to increase to 7.7 million by 2030. This factor is expected to boost the demand for diagnosis in the geriatric population, which in turn, is driving the growth of the Diagnostic Imaging Market in Egypt.

Growth in Research & Development

Rapid advancements in research and development (R&D) practices and activities are propelling the growth of the market on account of the growing need to develop novel diagnostic solutions for the treatment of different life-threatening diseases. According to World Data Atlas (Egypt), in 2020, R&D expenditure for Egypt was 1 %. Therefore, the R&D expenditure of Egypt increased from 0.2 % in 1998 to 1 % in 2020, growing at an average annual rate of 9.82%.

Lack of Skilled Medical Professionals to Hamper the Market Growth

The hiring of suitable personnel is one of the main obstacles to setting up and running healthcare facilities in Egypt. Omnia Health’s analysis showed that by 2030, there will be a greater need for medical education institutions, with an extra 88,000 doctors, 73,000 nurses, and 18,000 pharmacists needed to meet the increased demand for diagnostic devices. According to one of the major organizations for doctors, the Egyptian Medical Syndicate, more than 10,000 doctors have left the nation over the last three years, due to low pay and unfavorable working circumstances, such as inadequate medical care and inadequate supplies in government hospitals. Additionally, the stringent rules and regulations for the provision of insurance for healthcare services in conjugation with public hospitals and private sector healthcare institutions are anticipated to further aid the growth of the Egypt diagnostic labs market in the forecast years. Hence, the lack of skilled medical professionals to handle sophisticated Diagnostic Imaging machinery is hampering the growth of the Egypt Diagnostic Imaging Market.
