Middle East And Africa Bone Densitometer Market 2022-2028

MARKET OUTLOOK

Triton Market Research’s report on the bone densitometer market in the Middle East and Africa states that it is likely to expand with a CAGR of 4.28% in the forecasting years from 2022 to 2028. South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Rest of Middle East & Africa together form the market in this region.

Approximately 70% of the population in the UAE suffers from vitamin D deficiency. This, coupled with the growing prevalence of calcium deficiency, is leading to a rise in the cases of osteoporosis among people. According to experts, osteoporosis cases are growing due to poor dietary choices, lack of physical activity & sedentary lifestyles, and a lack of vitamin D. Since bone mass peaks by nearly the age of 30 years, youngsters are said to be at a greater risk of developing the condition. These factors present an opportunity for the adoption of bone densitometers.

As per an epidemiological analysis, nearly 34% of women and 30.7% of men between 50 and 79 years of age are affected by osteoporosis. Poor lifestyle choices play a key role in the high prevalence of bone health-related diseases. Some of these are low calcium intake, vitamin D deficiency, and lack of physical activity, among others. Also, in the KSA, approximately 8,768 cases of femoral fractures are reported every year. Thus, bone health is becoming a serious issue. Looking at the growing incidence of fractures among people in the country, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has prioritized osteoporosis on its national agenda. All these factors are expected to foster the market’s growth in the forthcoming years.
