Drivers

Development of Hybrid Systems

• The emergence of hybrid systems, such as PET/MRI and PET/CT blends the powers of diverse imaging modalities, offering higher precision and exhaustive diagnostic details. The awareness and growing significance of these imaging systems is propelling market growth. Also, improvements in radiopharmaceuticals enhance accuracy of imaging and widen the number of conditions with nuclear imaging, impacting the market growth.

Rising Healthcare Expenditure

• Increasing spending and high healthcare budgets on improved diagnostic tools is majorly impacting the progress of the nuclear imaging equipment market. Investments and funding in several healthcare facilities and rising diagnostic services in the developing as well as developed markets is demanding superior imaging equipment. This is further contributing to market growth.

Restraints

Low Availability of Radiopharmaceuticals

• The development of radiopharmaceuticals needed for nuclear imaging is complex and restricted. Problems associated with production capacity, supply chain, and quality control may notably impact availability, thus restraining the market growth. Also, most radiopharmaceuticals employed in imaging hold short half-lives, which increased the demand for speedy distribution and production, which could be difficult.

Safety and Health Concerns

• Although nuclear imaging radiations are regarded as safe, issues associated with possible long-term side effects of exposure may create hesitation among healthcare experts and patients from using these advanced technologies. Also, confirming strict norms for managing radioactive materials further supports the operational costs and complexity, thus restraining the market growth.
