At 4.2% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Pediatric MRI Market is Projected to be worth US$ 138.88 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Middle East & Africa pediatric MRI market was valued at US$ 108.27 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 138.88 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.2% from 2022 to 2028. Rising cases of traumatic injuries and bone defects in children is the critical factor attributed to the Middle East & Africa pediatric MRI market expansion.

The experience of undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can lead to anxiety, particularly for pediatric patients and their families. As a result, children are often sedated to complete the exam. However, sedation increases the cost of the procedure and requires an anesthesiologist to be present during the exam. Alternative methods to improve success and ensure non-sedation experience can be implemented with the adoption of new technologies and simulations that reduce the number of procedures requiring anesthesia. An MRI simulator can be used on children to scan and assess if they need sedation; it is available in various forms. Virtual reality, a computer-generated simulation of a 3D environment that can be experienced using a head-mounted display (HMD), has emerged as an effective solution for reducing anxiety in various pediatric psychological applications, including fear of the procedure. For instance, the Ambient Experience program by Philips Healthcare incorporates architecture, design, and other technologies for lighting and sound to create a relaxed environment for the scan. For MRI scans, Philips offers the Ambient Experience in-bore Connect, which projects videos inside the bore to calm and instruct patients. The children can select a theme, which can be played in the room before the scan and inside the bore during the scan. In March 2021, Philips and The Walt Disney Company collaborated to test the effects of custom-made animation, such as specially made Disney stories, in the Philips Ambient Experience. A few of Disney animation stories featured Mickey Mouse, Ariel, Marvel’s Avengers, Star Wars’ Yoda, and other Disney characters. Therefore, the implementation of such technologies and play-based simulators to help children adapt to MRI scans is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. This is expected to drive the Middle East & Africa pediatric MRI market during the forecast period.
