Growing Cases of Cancer Worldwide Fuels Uptake of Computed Tomography (CT) Devices
Computed tomography (CT), which is basically digitalized X-ray imaging procedure for diagnosing bones, internal organs, blood vessels, and soft tissue, and blood vessels, is highly useful in uncovering various types of cancer tumors. At the forefront of driving their sales is the rising instances of cancer worldwide on account of lifestyle changes. As per WHO, nearly 8.8 million people worldwide succumbed to cancer in 2015. However, 30% to 50% of cancer can be prevented with early diagnosis and rising awareness about this is expected to majorly stoke adoption of computed tomography which can enable physicians to not just uncover a tumor but also gauge its location and size.

Overall, the global CT market has majorly benefitted from the growing preference of minimally invasive diagnostic procedures. Explains the lead analyst of the report, “Primarily fuelling the market is the growing shift towards image guided interventions in the domain of medical care, alongside the continued technological improvement in image processing and resolution. As a result, computed tomography is finding application in detecting various cardiovascular, neurovascular, abdomen and pelvic, pulmonary, spinal, and musculoskeletal issues.”
Increasing Spending Capacity of People Coupled with Declining Device Prices Promote Market
Another factor promoting the market is the increasing spending capacity of people worldwide owing to economic development and rising knowledge about preventing numerous chronic health conditions through early diagnosis. This, coupled with declining prices of devices is expected to catalyze growth in sales.
On the flipside, the market for computed tomography (CT) is being challenged by the stringent regulatory polices pertaining to healthcare devices and the also the strict approval process for new products. Inadequate reimbursement policies is serving to clip market growth to an extent as well.
