The global bone densitometer market is growing at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The major factors that are contributing to the growth of the market include the rise in the geriatric population across the globe and the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2018, the men with age 50 or above with osteoporosis of the femur neck or lumbar spine was 4.2% and women with age 50 or above with osteoporosis of the femur neck or lumbar spine was 18.8% recorded in the US. Moreover, an increase in the pool of patients with deficiency of vitamin D and patients suffering from arthritis is also accounted as the drivers for the bone densitometer market growth. 

The rise in bone weakness is also due to an increase in the prevalence of diabetes patients across the globe as increased blood sugar levels inhibit bone-forming cells from building strong bones. Several government organizations work for the assessment of osteoporosis, For instance, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, 740,000 people lose their lives following hip fractures every year. However, the high cost of bone densitometers and the risk associated with them are some of the constraints that are expected to hinder the growth of the market. In addition to this, an increase in awareness among people for the early diagnosis, technological advancements in bone densitometers, and launches of several initiatives are developing numerous growth opportunities for the global bone densitometer market during the forecast period. 

Impact of COVID-19 on Bone Densitometer Market 

The global bone densitometers market is hardly hit by the COVID-19 pandemic since December 2019. The outbreak of COVID-19 in these major economies had led to the closure of several institutions operating in this sector across the globe. For instance, according to the reports of the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, and Musculoskeletal Diseases (ESCEO), 21% of institutions were only open for emergency visits amid lockdown. The market will witness “W” shape recovery in near future owing to the restart of key industries in major economies. 

Segmental Outlook 

The market is segmented based on type, technology, application, and end-user. Based on the type segment, the market is segmented into DEXA and ultrasound. Based on the technology segment, the market is segmented into axial bone densitometry and peripheral bone densitometry. Based on the application segment, the market is classified into osteoporosis and osteopenia diagnosis, cystic fibrosis diagnosis, body composition measurement, and rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. Among these, the osteoporosis & osteopenia diagnostic segment is predicted to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the subsequent increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis, the increasing risk of osteoporosis in menopausal women, and the growing global incidence of fragility fractures. Further, based on the end-user segment, the market is distributed into hospitals & speciality clinics, diagnostics and imaging centers, and others 

Global Bone Densitometer Market Share by End-User, 2020 (%)

Hospitals & Specialty Clinic Segment to Hold a considerable Share in the Global Bone Densitometer market

Amongst the end-user industry segment of the global bone densitometer market, the hospitals & specialty clinics segment is projected to have significant share in the global bone densitometer market. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market in this sector include the majority of the scans are performed in hospitals due to high infrastructural development and also due to monitoring of certain chronic diseases. The major players that operate their products in this segment include GE Healthcare, Hologic, Inc., Trivitron Healthcare, and Echolight S.p.a.

Apart from this, the DEXA or DXA (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) were also estimated to have a significant contribution in the type segment. These devices can scan even tiny reduction in bone density and due to the innovations in technologies, it has further led to the diagnosis in the early stages thereby give accurate results. These devices use a low dose of radiation which therefore has less risk associated with it. However, these equipment are expensive and require skilled radiology personnel to operate which can be a market constraint for an undeveloped economy. 

Regional Outlooks

The global bone densitometers market is analyzed based on the geographical regions that are contributing significantly to the growth of the market. Based on the geography, the market is bifurcated into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is estimated to have one of the major shares in the bone densitometer market. The presence of prominent players in the region to improve their R&D capabilities, and high-skilled personals for the respective operations are some of the factors contributing to the growth of the market in North America.

Global Bone Densitometer Market Growth, by Region 2021-2027

Asia-Pacific is projected to highest Contributor to the growth of the Global Bone Densitometer market

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region in the global bone densitometer market. In the region, China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and India are showing rapid progress. This can be attributed to the growing awareness among people in emerging economies, and improvement in healthcare infrastructure in the forecast period. According to the reports of the Population Reference Bureau, as of May 2020, Japan had the highest old age population across the globe with 28.2% of the population having age more than 65 years. This is expected to increase the growth of the market due to the high prevalence of osteoporosis in elder people. 

Market Players Outlook

Key players of the bone densitometer market include GE Healthcare, Hologic, Inc., Echolight S.p.a., BeamMed Ltd., Swissray International, Inc., Diagnostic Medical Systems Group, and CompuMed, Inc, among others. To survive in the market these players adopt different marketing strategies such as a merger, acquisitions, product launch, and geographical expansion so on. For instance, in March 2017, DMS Group and FUJIFILM Europe signed two commercial and industrial agreements in medical imaging and bone densitometry. The two companies worked under the brand name “Visionary”, for the bone densitometry solutions which were designed and developed by DMS Imaging.
