San Francisco, July 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global breast imaging market is expected to reach USD 7.3 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing incidences of breast cancer coupled with the continual product improvements being launched and the numerous R&D innovation initiatives being undertaken in the field of cancer are expected to collectively boost the growth of the market over the forecast period.
In 2012, the WHO estimated that around 53.0% of the global women population (1.8 billion women) is anticipated to suffer from breast cancer over their lifespan. This alarmingly rising rate is expected to be the preliminary driver for this market over the forecast period.

The rising base of the geriatric population is another high impact rendering driver of the breast imaging market. A study by the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) stated that the incidence of breast cancer is higher in patients above the age group of 45.
Increasing expenditure on R&D coupled with government funding are the other vital factors expected to trigger market growth over the forecast period. In 2013, the National Institute of Health, in the U.S. provided a grant amounting to USD 5.6 billion to conduct research on breast cancer. Digital mammography is one of the technologies gaining popularity as compared to other technologies, which is expected to positively reinforce this market’s growth.
However, the high cost of the existing imaging systems coupled with the stringent regulatory policies governing the approval of new products and marketing are predicted to slowdown growth.
