Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market Segmentation Analysis- By Modality

Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market based on modality can be further segmented into nuclear imaging, optical imaging, Micro-MRI, Micro-CT, Micro-ultrasound, Photoacoustic, Magnetic particle imaging systems. Micro-ultrasound held a dominant market share in the year 2021 and is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period of 2022-2027 owing to its versatility of uses and efficacy in conducting research on tiny animal models. Micro-ultrasound is a tiny type of ultrasound that has a larger range of uses, especially in small animal model studies. Smaller versions of imaging technologies boost the efficacy of the approaches. These frequently reduce the number of animals needed for a particular investigation. Moreover, other modalities such as Micro-CT and Optical Imaging are predicted to have the fastest growth owing to the huge use of these modalities and the introduction of new technologies in these areas. MRI and PET are often utilized in preclinical imaging. A combination of imaging modalities, such as PET and CT, is frequently employed to provide high-quality results. As a result, Micro-ultrasound is dominating the market.

Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market Segmentation Analysis- By Reagent

Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market based on reagents can be further segmented into MRI contrast agents, ultrasound contrast agents, CT contrast agents, optical imaging reagents, and nuclear imaging reagents. The Ultrasound contrast agents segment held a dominant market share in the year 2021 and is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 6.4% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Technological advances that benefit animal welfare, cost-effective techniques, alternative models, the demand for medical devices, an aging population, rising health consciousness among the population, massive investments in R&D, and the growth associated with the pharmaceutical sector. The Food and Drug Administration recently authorized microbubble ultrasonic contrast agents (UCAs) for non-cardiac imaging. The physical principles of UCAs, delivery methods, dosage, side effects, and existing and future imaging approaches are all discussed. UCAs are made up of suspended microbubbles that interact strongly with the ultrasound beam and are easily seen by ultrasound imaging devices. Unlike iodinated and gadolinium contrast agents, they are limited to the blood pool when injected intravenously. Hence, the Ultrasound contrast agents segment dominates the market.

Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market Segmentation Analysis- By Geography

Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market Drivers

Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases especially Cancer are Driving the Market

According to National Cancer Institute, in 2021, Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. According to World Health Organization 2022, Cancer is the biggest cause of mortality globally, with approximately 10 million fatalities estimated in 2020, accounting for roughly one in every six deaths. Breast, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate cancers are the most frequent malignancies. Medical imaging has become more important in the early identification and diagnosis of cancer. In certain circumstances, medical imaging is the first step in avoiding cancer spread by early identification, and in many cases, it allows the malignancy to be cured or eliminated completely. Both CT and MR are great at imaging soft tissue structures, making them ideal for identifying and diagnosing tumors as well as determining whether they are benign or malignant. Thus, the Growing Prevalence of chronic diseases especially cancer is driving the market.

The Rising use of Imaging in Preclinical Testing is Driving the Market

The need for preclinical in-vivo imaging modalities is increasing in a variety of industries, including research and development, drug discovery, cancer cell detection, and others.

Preclinical Imaging (In-VIVO) Market Challenges

The High Price of Modalities is estimated to Restrain the Market

Globally, many institutes are unable to employ this preclinical in-vivo imaging approach owing to the high expense of modalities and research processes. According to NCBI 2019, the cost and time associated with the use of MRI as a surveillance mechanism remain a concern. Moreover, impeding market expansion is the limited use of various modalities. Furthermore, a large number of banknotes are required to set up the essential equipment and apparatus. Similarly, running costs are exorbitant, and most individuals cannot afford to pay them. The health hazards and healthcare expenses associated with the improper use of high-cost imaging such as CT scans and MRIs are causing considerable concern in the medical profession and among payers. According to estimates, up to 30% of diagnostic imaging in the United States is unnecessary. In 2014, Medicare participants had an average of 0.9 high-cost scans, and Medicare spent more than $4 billion on high-cost imaging. Due to the additional follow-up treatment that such scans can cause, total Medicare expenses from high-cost imaging are likely to be significantly higher. Hence, the high Price of Modalities is estimated to restrain the market.
