(PharmaNewsWire.Com, May 10, 2017 ) The Global Nuclear Medicine Market accounted for $8.8 billion in 2014 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% to reach $20.4 billion by 2022. Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat them. According to World nuclear association, Over 10,000 hospitals across the world use radioisotopes in medicine, and about 90% of the procedures are for diagnosis. The most commonly used radioisotope in diagnosis is technetium-99, accounting for more than 80% of all nuclear medicine procedures worldwide. Computed X-ray tomography (CT) scans and nuclear medicine contribute 36% of the total radiation exposure and 75% of the medical exposure to the U.S. population, according to a US National Council on Radiation Protection & Measurements report.
Factors driving the nuclear medicine market include advancements in radiotracers, increasing number of patients with cancer and cardiovascular ailment, increasing use of SPECT and PET scan results and alpha radio immunotherapy-based targeted cancer treatment. However, factors such as stringent regulatory guidelines, high capital investment, shorter half-life of radiopharmaceuticals and competition from conventional diagnostic procedures are inhibiting the growth of nuclear medicine market. Technological advancements in neurological applications and increasing demand from emerging countries are likely to create huge opportunities for the market growth.
The Global nuclear medicine market is segmented on the basis of type, application and geography.
