Optical imaging systems market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Optical imaging systems have become increasingly popular with advancements in imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), photoacoustic imaging, and near-infrared spectroscopy. These systems play an essential role in diagnosing and monitoring eye and cardiovascular diseases, as well as facilitating early cancer detection in the oncology field. The increased funding for R&D of non-invasive diagnostic procedures is a key factor driving the global industry growth.
Market Dynamics
Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes necessitates the use of advanced diagnostic tools like optical imaging systems for early detection and effective treatment planning. According to the World Health Organisation, in September 2023, chronic diseases were responsible for a significant number of global mortalities, with 41 million individuals mortality each year, accounting for 74.0% of all mortalities globally. These facts depict the urgency to address the major chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (17.9 million mortalities annually), cancers (9.3 million mortalities), chronic respiratory diseases (4.1 million mortalities), and mortalities (2.0 million deaths, including kidney disease caused by diabetes).
Increasing Geriatric Population
The geriatric population is highly susceptible to age-related diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in October 2022, the global population of individuals aged 60 years and older is projected to increase significantly to 2.1 billion, with the number of individuals aged 80 years or older expected to triple to reach 426.0 million. Therefore, the growing geriatric population is anticipated to drive the demand for optical imaging systems for early diagnosis of chronic disorders.
Market Segmentation
Oncology is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment
The increasing number of cancer cases, ongoing oncology research and clinical trials, and the development of advanced optical imaging systems for the early diagnosis and on-time treatment of cancer is a key factors driving the growth of this market segment. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, in April 2024, breast cancer affects a significant number of individuals in the US, with approximately 1 in 8 women and a smaller number of men being diagnosed with the disease. In 2024, it is projected that 310,720 women and 2,800 men will receive a diagnosis of invasive breast cancer.
Regional Outlook
The global optical imaging systems market is segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Technological Advancements in Optical Imaging Technologies in North America
The regional market growth is driven by continuous technological advancements in optical imaging technologies such as improvements in resolution, sensitivity, and speed across the region. For instance, in November 2023, Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corp. launched new medical systems at the Radiological Society of North America's (RSNA) annual meeting. The company possesses digital radiography suites, fluoroscopy systems, a 0.4T MRI system, and a 128-slice CT system. These systems aim to simplify X-ray scans, deliver consistent, efficient exams, and simplify exam access.
Global Optical Imaging Systems Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
Asia-Pacific Holds Major Market Share
The high prevalence of chronic disorders with the growing geriatric population is a key factor driving the growth of the regional market. According to government statistics, in January 2024, China's population aged 60 and above accounted for approximately 297 million individuals in 2023, which represents 21.1% of the total population. The increasing healthcare expenditure across the region is further aiding the regional market growth.
Market Players Outlook
*Note: Major Players Sorted in No Particular Order.
The major companies serving the optical imaging systems market include Abbott Laboratories, Carl Zeiss AG, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc., PerkinElmer Inc., and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. among others. The market players are increasingly focusing on business expansion and product development by applying strategies such as collaborations, mergers and acquisitions to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in February 2024, Bruker Corp. acquired Spectral Instruments Imaging, a provider of preclinical in-vivo optical imaging systems. The acquisition fills a gap in the Bruker BioSpin Preclinical Imaging division, expanding its range of preclinical solutions for disease research.
