光學成像市場的地域展望
由於研究和技術進步不斷增加,以及主要應用光學成像進行更好診斷的眼、腦、癌症和其他疾病的擴散,預計北美將佔據重要的市場佔有率。此外,Heidelberg Engineering Inc.、Carl Zeiss Meditec、Bruker Corporation 和 Leica Microsystems 等市場參與企業的成熟存在也對該地區的市場成長產生了積極影響。
區域經濟體,即美國,視力障礙的盛行率很高。根據美國疾病管制與預防中心 (CDC) 的數據,美國40 歲以上的人中約有 1,200 萬人患有視力喪失,其中近 800 萬人仍未接受治療。主要眼疾包括青光眼、糖尿病性視網膜病變、白內障和屈光不正。
腦部疾病,主要是阿茲海默症、腦腫瘤、失智症和帕金森氏症,是造成美國許多人死亡的原因。此外,核磁共振掃描是一種用於檢測大腦影像並推斷結果的技術。乳癌和腦腫瘤是美國癌症相關死亡的主要原因之一。
電腦斷層掃描 (PET-CT) 掃描和發射斷層掃描等影像技術用於更準確地確定癌症的階段及其在體內擴散的程度。此外,人工智慧等新技術也被引入醫學成像應用,為光學成像提供了新的成長前景。
此外,除了在醫療應用方面具有巨大潛力外,光學成像也正在進入太空任務,美國太空總署等主要太空機構正在投資此類技術。
光學成像市場的主要發展
The optical imaging market is poised to reach US$4.667 billion in 2029 from estimated value of US$2.939 billion in 2024 at 9.69% (CAGR).
Optical imaging uses light to obtain images of body tissue or cells, before which the information is deduced from tissue composition and biomolecular processes. It generates images using photons of light from ultraviolet to near-infrared. Such imaging comprises various types, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), endoscopy, and photoacoustic imaging, among others.
Optical Imaging is primarily used by researchers, biotechnicians, and pharmacists to study small animal models and clinical applications, such as the detection of cancer and lymphoma, the study of gynaecologic malignancies, in vivo imaging, research on DNA, neonatal and adult brain imaging, and other applications. Optimal Imaging reduces a patient's exposure to harmful radiation with the help of non-ionizing radiation. It is widely used in biomedical research and medical care.
Optical imaging is an essential technique that provides useful information to researchers, pharmacists, and biotechnicians for studying complex human, animal, and plant models. Research in biomedical, biopharmaceutical, and medical care, especially in eye care, is contributing to the optical imaging market's growth. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that about 2000 US workers suffer from job-related eye injuries daily that require medical treatment.
Accurate glaucoma screening requires using novel optical imaging techniques for early diagnosis and treatment that would stop the progression to blindness. Vivo imaging, particularly whole-body Vivo imaging, enables the study of animal models of human diseases, reducing the rate of experimentation on animals and providing essential information in research studies. Other applications of Vivo imaging can be seen in bioluminescence, which is used in microbiology, and fluorescence methods in vivo imaging, which are commonly used in clinical research.
New developments in optical imaging techniques, for instance, CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and PET-CT (Position Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography), are widely applied in medical imaging techniques. Additionally, new software launches to bolster optical imaging are also taking place. For instance, Abbott Laboratories, in October 2023, launched its vascular imaging software "Ultreon 1.0", which integrates Artificial Intelligence and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which enables physicians to get a comprehensive view of coronary arteries.
Researchers have researched 3D optical imaging and 3D display, with applications in medicine, robotics, security, detection, visualization, and display abilities. For example, 3D medical imaging is a new technology that can improve disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in clinics and operating rooms. Optical imaging through imaging probes using bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, afterglow imaging, and NIR-II probes having macro-mesoscopic regimes are new advances in studying deep tissue imaging.
Optical imaging provides a major scope for disease detection and cancer care. However, the low penetration of optimal imaging, absorption, and scattering issues, and the lack of clinical instrumentation and expertise will likely hamper the optical imaging market's growth.
Optical Imaging Market Geographical Outlook
North America is projected to account for a considerable market share due to increased research and technological advancements, and the surge in eye, brain, cancer, and other diseases, where optical imaging is majorly applied for better diagnosis. Well-established presence of market players, namely Heidelberg Engineering Inc., Carl Zeiss Meditec, Bruker Corporation, Leica Microsystems, and others, has also positively impacted the regional market growth.
Regional economies, namely the USA, are experiencing a high prevalence of vision impairment cases. According to the CDC ( Centres for Disease Control and Prevention), approximately 12 million people 40 years and above suffer from vision impairment in the United States, of which nearly 8 million cases remain untreated. Major eye diseases include Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataracts, and Refractive Error.
Brain Diseases, mainly Alzheimer's, Brain Tumour, Dementia, and Parkinson's Disease, are resulting in deaths among people in the United States. Further, MRI Scanning is a technique used to detect images from the brain and deduce results. Breast and brain cancer constitutes one of the major cancer-related deaths in the US.
To better determine the cancer stages and their spread level within the body, imaging techniques such as Computed Tomography (PET-CT) Scans and Emission Tomography are used. Furthermore, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence are also finding their way into medical imaging applications, providing new growth prospects for optical imaging.
Moreover, besides high applicability in the medical sector, optical imaging is also finding its way into space missions, where major space organizations such as NASA are investing in such technology.
