Small Animal Imaging (In-Vivo) Market Overview:
Small Animal Imaging (In-Vivo) Market is expected to garner $2.1 Billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period 2014 to 2020. Imaging modalities emerged as a preferred option for the clinical industry, especially in preclinical studies.
Many of the nuclear imaging technologies have been translated into micro level tools that include micro MRI, micro CT and micro PET. Apart from these technologies, micro ultrasound imaging, micro-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical Imaging such as bioluminescence and fluorescence imaging, and multimodal imaging technologies have gained traction in the market. Rising number of the pre-clinical research, increasing investments by the CROs in the research activities, growing applications of multi-functional pre-clinical imaging and technological advancements such as high resolution multimodality MRI are the few factors impacting the global market positively. However, the stringent regulatory impositions coupled with inadequate reimbursement scenario would restrain the market growth to a certain extent. Despite of the aforementioned market restraints, commercialization of cost-efficient devices would ease the negative influence of restraints and fuel the market growth, primarily across the developing regions.
Rising number of Pharmaceutical companies and clinical research organizations, increasing applications of in-vivo imaging in pre-clinical research, real time data storage and high-resolution modalities, are the key growth factors of the market. Inadequate infrastructure provisions for research facilities, advanced instruments and the lack of skilled research personnel in emerging economies along with the requirement of high-end devices are likely to be the major restraints of small animal imaging (in-vivo) market. Going forward, the global clinical research initiatives, along with the development in technologies associated with pre-clinical trials will provide the platform for growth.
North America, dominates the market amongst all geographies owing to adoption of advanced technologies, healthcare awareness and favorable reimbursement policies. Geographically, about ~35 of the small animal imaging (in-vivo) market share is held by the North America owing to the heavy investments and affordability of advanced small animal in-vivo imaging devices, such as micro- Photoacoustic tomography (Micro-PAT), in pre-clinical research. On the other hand, Asia-Pacific market would grow at the promising CAGR of 11.5% over the forecast period. Such high growth rate is majorly attributed towards untapped state of the market, hence would provide an opportunity for the small animal imaging devices manufacturers.

Analyst Review
Conventional optical imaging is a rapid and relatively inexpensive imaging technology (as compared to other in-vivo imaging modalities) ‐ still preferred by the end users (pharmaceutical and clinical research organizations). However, commercialization of the advanced in-vivo imaging systems (micro-MRI and nuclear imaging) with features such as real-time data storage and high-spatial resolution, would demonstrate lucrative opportunities within the global small animal imaging (in-vivo) market. Hence, manufacturers of small animal imaging (in-vivo) devices should target their entry into micro-MRI and nuclear imaging market segment. Bio-distribution and cancer cell detection applications market would grow at a significant rate owing to accuracy and precision in providing diagnostic information related to disease progression. Thus in coming years, in-vivo imaging modalities would replace other diagnostic methods in cancer research such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), colonoscopy and endoscopy.
Geographically, the North American market is the most attractive among rest of the regional markets owing to high adoption rate of advanced and real time data storage imaging modalities. Such adoption is backed by high purchasing power; and favourable regulatory scenarios. Furthermore, Asia Pacific market which is low cost clinical destinations, is posed to grow at a highest rate chiefly due to increasing clinical research for cancer cell detection.
