As the number of radiology centers increases in the region, along with the rising emphasis on the improvement of the healthcare infrastructure, will propel the growth of the digital mammography market during the forecast period.

Market Overview

The digital mammography market refers to the market for mammography systems that use digital technology to capture and produce mammogram images. Mammography is a medical imaging technique specifically designed for breast examination and is primarily used for the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer.

Digital mammography systems have replaced traditional film-based mammography due to their numerous advantages. Digital technology allows for the immediate acquisition, display, and storage of high-quality digital images, offering improved image resolution and manipulation capabilities. Digital mammography also enables the use of computer-aided detection (CAD) systems, which assist radiologists in the detection of abnormalities and potential signs of breast cancer.

Digital Mammography Market Growth Factors

The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is the key factor that will boost the market's growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the incidence of breast cancer among elderly women is driving the market expansion. Relative survival from breast cancer decreases among elderly women. Thus, the growing geriatric population is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, several extensive studies have shown that combined 2D/3D systems of mammography are superior to 2D mammography alone in diagnosing breast cancer. Growing awareness of the use of these systems and high detection rates are critical drivers for the segment.

Digital Mammography Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Time-Efficient Process offered by the technological advancements in digital mammography units

Digital mammography offers quick and accurate diagnostic results, that are available in less than a few hours. The time-efficient process offered by digital mammography units promotes their application in the healthcare sector. Healthcare providers are focusing on the installation of technologically advanced mammography devices. Technologically advanced mammography units are capable of offering customized outcomes while focusing on specific areas of breasts. Such advanced units can also decrease or increase the contrast to distinguish healthy breast tissues. All these elements act as a driver for the market’s growth while increasing the adoption of digital mammography units.

Restraint:

Limited access and awareness and high cost

In some regions, particularly low-income areas or rural communities, access to digital mammography services may be limited. Lack of awareness about the importance of regular mammograms and limited infrastructure can hinder the adoption of digital mammography in these areas. Digital mammography systems tend to be more expensive compared to traditional film-based systems, which can pose a financial challenge for healthcare facilities, especially in developing countries with limited resources. The initial investment cost, along with the costs of maintenance, upgrades, and training, can be significant.

Opportunity:

Adoption of portable/mobile digital mammography devices

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mobile mammography services are one of the most powerful tools to serve medically underserved communities. Mobile or portable mammography units aim to offer rapid detection of disease by reducing the patients’ visit to the hospital or diagnostic centers. Additionally, the restrictions during the Covid-19 period boosted the demand for portable and mobile healthcare services.

The adoption of portable digital mammography devices brings innovation to the industry. It allows remote and mobile monitoring. It will be able to offer services in underdeveloped areas. Also, it will promote early detection of breast cancer. Rising demand for early and rapid diagnosis will supplement portable mammography devices that offer digital images.

Product Insights:

The 2D full-field digital mammography tomosynthesis segment is leading in the market with more than half the market share and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. In a 2D mammogram, two X-ray images are taken, one from above and one from the side. The requirement for accurate and rapid diagnostic reports along with the rapid adoption of 2D mammography devices promotes the growth of the segment.

Digital Mammography Market Share, By Product, 2023 (%)

The 3D full-field digital mammography tomosynthesis segment is expected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period. In 3D tomosynthesis, more photos are taken, resulting in images of thin sections of the breast. This implies that pictures of the opposite side of the breast are not obscured by breast tissue from the other side. 3D tomosynthesis has been shown to reduce false positives and reduce recall for further imaging. With the technological advancements and rapid adoption of advanced diagnostic mammography services, the 3d full-field digital mammography tomosynthesis segment will continue to grow.

End-use Insights:

The hospital segment contributed the largest share in 2023, the segment is expected to sustain its dominance during the forecast period owing to the presence of advanced facilities offered by hospitals for breast cancer detection. Multiple government hospitals offer cost-effective diagnostic services along with healthcare policies for cancer treatments. This factor promotes the adoption of digital mammography devices in hospitals. Hospitals often carry a significant patient population. Additionally, the presence of experienced and skilled healthcare providers supports the growth of the segment. In addition, public and private investments in the health sector are expected to accelerate the segment's growth.

The diagnostic center's segment is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. The availability of digital and 3D mammography, whole breast ultrasound, and noise magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for risk screening, diagnosis, and treatment planning has increased the diagnosis and detection accuracy at such diagnostic stores, which is projected to support the growth of this segment shortly. The development is driven by the increased availability of comprehensive breast imaging services at cost-effective prices, the use of advanced imaging techniques, and the availability of competent and experienced professionals.
