The global optical preclinical imaging market was valued at $516.10 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $859.70 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2030. The visualization of living animals for research purposes, such as drug discovery and development, is known as optical preclinical imaging. Imaging modalities have frequently been used by researchers to monitor changes in animals in response to physiological or environmental changes, whether at the organ, tissue, cell, or molecular level. Over time, noninvasive and in vivo imaging approaches have become more useful for investigating animal models.

Preclinical optical imaging is becoming an increasingly popular feature in preclinical drug discovery and development. This modality offers a virtual window within the animal and allows for real-time tracking of biological activities at the molecular level. This technique is simple to use, has no radiation, has a high throughput, is moderately priced, and has excellent sensitivity. It can monitor disease progression and evaluate effects of drug candidates with extremely high sensitivity.

Preclinical imaging is critical for phenotyping, drug development, and identifying disease etiology. The primary goal is to increase the likelihood of clinical success while reducing the time and cost of medication research and development. Noninvasive in vivo imaging tools have advanced the use of animal models in preclinical drug discovery and development to a new level, enabling quick and efficient drug efficacy screening. Prior to the start of clinical trials, in vitro and in vivo testing are undertaken during the preclinical stage of drug discovery and development research to ensure that the drug candidate is safe to test in humans. Preclinical research use animal models to assist in the investigation of human diseases and the development of innovative therapies. The biological relevance of an animal model is critical for predicting therapeutic outcomes. The use of small animal models in basic and preclinical sciences is an important component of these type of research and development initiatives, acting as a bridge between molecular discoveries and clinical implementation.

Increase in use of optical preclinical imaging is mostly due to technological advancements in molecular imaging. Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have made significant progress and continue to evolve, improving their impact on diagnosis and treatment. Rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, considerable increase in the ageing population, and more restricted global resources are among the major reasons driving the evolution of the nuclear medicine and molecular imaging business. 

In addition, advanced imaging and hybrid modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT are witnessing significant adoption. Moreover, molecular imaging has made personalized treatments possible according to the respective needs. Furthermore, there has been a considerable rise in demand for noninvasive small animal imaging techniques.

Rise in overall population has led to rise in chronic diseases as well as emergence of new diseases. In addition, this has led to the research and development of new drug molecules. Preclinical research through clinical trials are conducted on animals to study the safety and efficacy of these new drug candidates before testing them on humans. Moreover, increase in funding for preclinical research by both private and public organizations boosts the market growth. However, high cost of optical preclinical imaging acts as a key deterrent factor of the global market. Moreover, optical preclinical imaging devices require regular maintenance, which incur additional cost, thus hampering the global market growth.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic led to huge number of clinics and hospitals across the globe being restructured to increase the hospital capacity for patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Non-essential procedures took a potential backlog due to rapidly rising COVID-19 cases. Conversely, various preclinical research studies and activities, including clinical trials for the efficacy and safety, for the treatment of COVID-19 by various researchers, companies and government boosted the growth of the optical preclinical imaging market.

Furthermore, untapped, emerging markets are expected to offer potential growth opportunities, due to improved healthcare infrastructure, increase in unmet healthcare needs, and rise in research & development activities. In addition, availability of various facilities providing such minimally invasive procedures is an emerging opportunity for key players to invest in the optical preclinical imaging market.
