The nuclear medicine diagnostics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for nuclear medicine diagnostics has seen swift expansion in the recent past. The size is projected to enlarge from $7.16 billion in 2024, reaching $7.94 billion by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0%.
The historical growth period can be linked to developments in medical imaging, a rising rate of chronic diseases, trends related to an aging population, clinical usage in the field of oncology, and increased diagnostic accuracy and precision.
The nuclear medicine diagnostics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• A significant surge is expected in the nuclear medicine diagnostics market size in the forthcoming years. By 2029, it's projected to bolster to $12.56 billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%.
This anticipated growth during the outlook period can be tied to the broadening applications in neurology, incorporation with different imaging methods, precision medicinal strategies, an increase in demand for theranostics, and worldwide disease eradication initiatives. The prominent trends predicted within this period include the transition towards more compact, decentralized radiopharmacy; the application of nuclear medicine within neurology; the introduction of radiomics and quantitative imaging analysis; research and developmental collaborations; and a focus on radiation safety and dosimetry.
The burgeoning need for nuclear medicine diagnostics is anticipated to boost the expansion of this specific market. Utilizing radioactive substances within the body, nuclear medicine can both diagnose diseases and aid in the removal or treatment of affected organs and tissue. Predominantly used in radiation and other serious treatments, nuclear medicine diagnostics are being sought after more for their precision and improved treatment decision-making capabilities. This is evident in an April 2022 report by the UK-based World Nuclear Association, which promotes nuclear power, revealing over 40 million annual nuclear medicine treatments and a constant rise in the requirement for radioisotopes by up to 5% annually. Furthermore, 90% of medical procedures making use of radioisotopes take place in over 10,000 hospitals across the globe. Given these factors, the escalating demand for nuclear medicine diagnostics is projected to drive the nuclear medicine diagnostics market's growth.
