The market research analysis categorizes the global optical imaging market into four major segments based on technique. They are:
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Hyperspectral imaging
- Near-infrared spectroscopy
- Photoacoustic tomography
Optical coherence tomography
The global OCT market is expected to grow at a rapid pace, due to the increasing adoption rate. The cost effectiveness associated with implementing and using OCT systems in various clinical applications is expected to propel the market.
Also, clinical trials on the use of OCT for the diagnosis of osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders are expected to be approved by the FDA during the forecast period. The OCT systems are used in conjunction with other diagnostic devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to obtain high-resolution cross-sectional images of tissues or organs.
Hyperspectral imaging
The cost effectiveness associated with implementing and using hyperspectral imaging in various clinical applications is expected to propel the market growth. These hyperspectral imaging systems are primarily used for the screening of cancer cells.
The Americas have increased installation of hyperspectral imaging systems in recent years. It is expected that APAC would be leading the hyperspectral imaging systems segment during the forecast period with the increased adoption and changes in the healthcare scenario.
Near-infrared spectroscopy
The global near-infrared spectroscopy market is expected to grow at a slow pace due to the increasing preference for alternative optical imaging techniques such as OCT for diagnosis. These near-infrared spectroscopy systems are being used for neurological screening.
It is expected that APAC will lead in the installation of near-infrared spectroscopy systems with the introduction of advanced near-infrared spectroscopy during the forecast period. The emergence of the new product lines is also expected to increase the installed base in the Americas and EMEA.
“The presence of increasingly favorable reimbursement policies in the Americas is also anticipated to boost the overall growth of the global optical imaging market during the forecast period,” says Srinivas.
Photoacoustic tomography
The cost effectiveness associated with using photoacoustic tomography technology in various research and clinical applications is expected to propel the market. This technology is widely used for cancer screening, molecular screening, gene expression, blood flow detection, and metabolic rate of oxygen.
The Americas have increased installations of photoacoustic tomography in recent years. The presence of numerous vendors increases the availability and hence adoption of these systems in the emerging markets of APAC and EMEA.
