The global mobile tomography market is segmented on the basis of technology, application, end-use and region. By technology, the market is sub-segmented into high slice scanners, mid slice scanners, low slice scanners, and others. By application, the market is classified into oncology, neurology, cardiology, vascular, and others. By end-use, the market is classified into hospitals, clinics, diagnostic center, research academics, and ambulatory center. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The mobile tomography market is segmented into Technology, Application and End-use.
By technology, the high slice scanners sub-segment dominated the market in 2021. The rising incidence of cardiovascular illnesses, as well as the demand for accurate diagnostic imaging solutions, are expected to drive the segment. High slice technology exposes patients to 80% less radiation than mid-level slice technology (64 slices), with a 16 cm imaging area aiding in accuracy. High slice devices provide detailed images of obese patients; the main issue predicted to limit this segment's growth is the high cost of high slice technology. However, improving healthcare infrastructure and financing capacity will assist to overcome the restriction. These are predicted to be the major factors affecting the mobile tomography market size during the forecast period.
By application, the oncology sub-segment dominated the global mobile tomography market share in 2021. The increasing prevalence of cancer and the growing uses of mobile tomography equipment scans in the diagnosis of various forms of cancers, including lumps and tumors, are likely to boost the market. The advent of modern technology such as computer-aided detection and computer-aided diagnosis of suspicious cancer nodules and assessing the risk of malignancy, especially in lung cancer, is predicted to boost the market growth. The software may also calibrate the captured image with biopsy results, aiding in accurate diagnosis.
By end-use, the hospitals sub-segment dominated the global mobile tomography market share in 2021. The growing number of hospital emergency admissions and surgeries performed each year have all contributed to the market share. Additionally, the penetration of mobile tomography equipment is scaling up rapidly owing to rising healthcare infrastructure globally wherein scanning equipment and radiation devices are installed. This equipment are an important tool for accurate diagnosis for both pre- and post-operatively to establish treatment efficacy and improve disease characterization, and reduce rescans and follow-ups.
By region, North America accounted a dominated the global market in 2021. Due to the country's growing senior population, the U.S. dominates the North American market. Cancer and other chronic diseases are becoming increasingly prevalent as the population grows. The ability of mobile tomography scanners to provide quick, accurate images of the heart and its arteries as well as its capacity to detect or diagnose accumulation in the coronary arteries in order to determine the risk of heart disease have resulted in a significant increase in demand for mobile tomography scans in management of the disease.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Mobile Tomography Industry
- The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had created a deep impact on the healthcare industry. The foremost factors mainly shortage of drugs & medicines, unavailability of skilled medical devices operators, financial instability, and changes in governmental policies for importing/exporting medical devices and equipment created serious repercussions on the healthcare sector further slowing down the global economy
- Additionally, there was a significant slowdown observed in the mobile tomography market due to the stoppage of manufacturing medical devices, unavailability of medical components, and others
- The manufacturers of mobile tomography faced a dramatic slowdown in sales owing to the cancellation of promotional events to represent its new product lines of mobile tomography to the consumers/healthcare institutions. However, due to cross-border travel restrictions, the manufacturers where unable to execute such events resulted in hampering sales of mobile tomography
