Furthermore, hospitals responded to the pandemic by implementing safety protocols and embracing telehealth for consultations. These factors under the hospital's segment will fuel market growth during the forecast period.
Three-dimensional (3D) mammography, also referred to as digital breast tomosynthesis, is an advanced cutting-edge X-ray imaging technology used to screen for and diagnose breast cancer. In contrast to conventional mammography, which produces flat, 2D images, 3D mammography captures multiple images from varied angles and merges them to generate a three-dimensional view of breast tissue. FDA approval in 2011 established 3D mammography as the standard for breast cancer screening. Approximately 85% of US screening facilities now offer 3D mammograms. Leading vendors like Hologic, Inc. and Allengers Medical Systems Limited provide advanced 3D mammography systems, such as Hologic's Genius, enhancing diagnostic precision. Siemens Healthcare Private Limited's MAMMOMAT Revelation system further boosts the market by offering advanced 3D imaging capabilities, fueling global market growth.
Two-dimensional (2D) mammography constitutes a significant share of the market. 2D mammography, also known as digital mammography, employs X-rays to detect breast tissue abnormalities, serving as the conventional method for breast cancer screening. It captures two images of each breast from different angles, providing a 2D view. Market leaders like Analogic Corporation and Hologic, Inc. offer 2D mammography units. Analogic's flat-panel 2D digital mammography units utilize amorphous selenium technology for superior image quality, while Hologic's Selenium Dimensions system combines high-resolution imaging with advanced software for enhanced early detection of breast cancer. Hologic's innovative 2D mammography solutions have established a strong market presence, making it a preferred choice among healthcare providers worldwide and driving global market growth.

Radiologists rely on various mammography types, from traditional 2-D and 3-D technologies to advanced combination technology, available through digital and analog systems. These services are offered across hospitals, specialty clinics, research institutes, and diagnostic centers, manned by skilled healthcare professionals adept in breast tomosynthesis and film screen systems. Our researchers analyzed the market research and growth data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key market growth analysis, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing focus on early examination and diagnosis of breast cancer is the key factor driving the market. AI algorithms can analyze a mammogram with greater accuracy than people can, helping detect abnormalities earlier and reducing the risk of false negative or false positive results. This is especially important in the field of breast cancer, where early detection is critical to improving patient outcomes. A number of key market players have acknowledged the disruptive effect of AI on the field of mammography and incorporated 2-D Technology and 3-D Technology in their imaging solutions.
For example, Hologic, Inc., another key market player provides the Hologic 3D Genius AI Detection Solution, which offers enhanced and superior quality mammography screening through accurate spotting, faster triaging tools, and prioritizing suspicious lesions, thereby assisting radiologists in their decision-making process. Further, the use of AI in mammography is also increasing due to the growing focus on personalized medicine and the need for more personalized and accurate diagnostic methods. Thus, such factors will foster the growth of the market during the forecast period. Additionally, advancements in medical technology and computer programming have contributed to the integration of AI in mammography, enabling better detection and diagnosis in hospitals, specialty clinics, research institutes, and diagnostic centers.
Growing focus on courses and medical exhibitions for breast imaging products is one of the primary market trends. Treatment of any medical condition can be recommended based on its proper diagnosis and on the efficacy of the treatment for the same. Making people aware of the importance of diagnoses and imaging to identify a medical condition or disease is important. Hence, WORLD CLASS CME, a physician-founded company, is focusing on providing medical education in the areas of radiology, ultrasound, gynecology, and sleep medicine. The objective of this course is to make the target audience understand the anatomic and histopathologic basis for ultrasound appearances, the appropriate selection of ultrasound equipment for better diagnosis, and the correct classification of small invasive breast cancers while minimizing false-positive ultrasound examinations, among others.
Additionally, the Radiological Society of North America, a non-profit organization, organized the 105th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, which was held on December 1-6, 2019, at McCormick Place in Chicago, US. At this scientific radiology conference, companies introduced new and innovative medical imaging products, including those used in mammography, and showcased them to the attendees. Such global conferences comprise a large number of professional attendees from different countries, and therefore, they increase the reach of any company's product and help the company establish its position in the market. These factors will boost market growth during the forecast period.
The risk of adverse effects from radiation is a challenge that affects market expansion. While the X-ray dosages used in breast cancer screening are very low, repeated exposures over a long period of time can cause a build-up of radiation doses. As a result, there has been a lot of discussion in the medical community about how to weigh the advantages of early breast cancer detection against the risks of radiation exposure. The radiation dose from a 3D mammogram may be slightly lower or slightly higher than that from a standard 2D mammogram.
Moreover, key market players like GE Healthcare and Hologic, Inc. are also investing in cutting-edge solutions, like low-dose systems, to reduce the risk of radiation exposure while preserving the diagnostic efficacy of the equipment. However, early breast cancer detection has been proven to improve survival rates and treatment results for patients, and the fear of radiation has resulted in less adherence to screening recommendations. Thus, such factors will hinder market expansion during the forecast period.
