United States Nuclear Imaging Market Trends:

Increasing Adoption of Hybrid Imaging Technologies

The market is witnessing a considerable shift toward hybrid imaging technologies including PET/CT and SPECT/CT systems. These advanced modalities also harness the functional imaging prowess of nuclear medicine along with the unrivaled anatomical depth afforded by CT imaging for improved diagnostic accuracy. This drive is fueled by the rise in chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases that require proper diagnosis and follow-up. According to a research report published on February 2024 by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, about 129 Million Americans have one or more major chronic conditions, of whom 42% have two or more, and 12% have minimum of five. Five of the top 10 leading causes of death are strongly related to preventable and treatable chronic conditions. Chronic diseases account for 90% of the annual USD 4.1 Trillion U.S. health care costs, and their prevalence has been increasing steadily for the past two decades. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into hybrid imaging systems is improving image analysis, reducing scan times, and minimizing radiation exposure, thereby creating a positive United States nuclear imaging market outlook. Healthcare organizations are increasingly dedicating resources to these innovations to improve patient outcomes and optimize operational efficiency. Increasing demand for hybrid imaging systems to enable timely and accurate diagnosis drives the development of the nuclear imaging market in the United States, as healthcare providers highlight the need for early and precise diagnosis.

Rising Demand for Radiopharmaceuticals in Personalized Medicine

The rising demand for radiopharmaceuticals, driven by the growing emphasis on personalized medicine is expanding the United States nuclear imaging market share. Radiopharmaceuticals comprise FDG as well as technetium-based compounds, both of which are critical to targeted diagnostics and targeted treatment (especially in oncology and neurology). The development of novel radiopharmaceuticals, which provide increased specificity and reduced side effects, is further extending their application to precision medicine. On June 24, 2024, Jubilant Radiopharma announced allocating USD 50 Million to establish six new PET radiopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities throughout the United States, thereby increasing its network to a total of 52 sites. This initiative is in response to the rising demand for innovative diagnostic solutions in the fields of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. Moreover, the paced lead for enhancing patient access to radiopharmaceuticals is ushered in through FDA endorsement of intercessions through expedited development and review programs. This demand grows even further when you factor in the aging population, increasing cancer burden, and the prevalence of neurodegenerative disorders. The healthcare industry is increasingly moving toward personalized treatment paradigms, and radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as effective agents for disease detection and management. This trend is anticipated to drive key market growth for nuclear imaging and emphasize the R&D of advanced radiopharmaceuticals.
