Overview of the global hybrid imaging market
According to the Technavio’s analyst, the global hybrid imaging market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of more than 8% during the forecast period. The growing adoption of positron emission tomography (PET) or computed tomography (CT) hybrid imaging will drive the growth prospects for the global hybrid imaging market until the end of 2021. The PET-CT represents one of the medical imaging modalities, which is used for early diagnosis, accurate disease staging, and acts as an effective response to the treatment of chronic conditions such as cancer. Also, new technological advancements in this hybrid imaging modality such as precise measurement for better differentiation and measurement of tumors increased data storage capabilities for oncologists to track tumor developments, and less patient movement will result in the market’s growth.
In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the majority market share during 2016 and will continue to dominate the market for the next four years. One of the major factors responsible for the increasing demand for hybrid imaging modalities in this region is the availability of favorable reimbursement facilities by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
