The clinical trial imaging market has been significantly growing with the increasing pharmaceutical and medical device companies
Rising R&D spending, a rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry, and an increase in the number of contract research organizations are some of the major factors driving the market's growth. There has been an increase in pharmaceutical companies due to the rising advancements in medical science and new drug development. The global prevalence and relapse of diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), HIV infections, and dengue fever is expected to increase the demand for multiple drugs, propelling clinical trial imaging. Thus, the increase in pharmaceutical and medical device companies is fueling the demand to implement imaging technologies in clinical trials. Thus, the increasing pharmaceutical and medical device companies complemented the clinical trial imaging market's growth during the forecast period.
The services segment under the product and service segment is expected to pace with reduced reaction time and rapid outcomes. Further, another segment, such as pharmaceutical companies, is expected to gain traction during the forecasted year.
Within the report, the clinical trial imaging market is segmented into modality, product and services, end user, and geography. Based on modality, the global clinical trial imaging market is segmented into magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, ultrasound, positron emission tomography, X-ray, echocardiography, and others. Based on products and services, the market is segmented into services and software. Based on end user, the market is segmented into pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, academic and government research, and others. Geographically, the market is sub-segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and Middle East & Africa.
The rising healthcare expenditure is fueling the growth of drug research and development in the pharmaceutical industry. Further, according to a report (2020) by World Health Organization (WHO), global spending on health continually rose between 2000 and 2018 and reached US$ 8.3 trillion or 10% of global GDP. Thus, the rising expenditure on healthcare facilities propels drug discovery and development, fueling the clinical trials imaging market growth.
The flourishing pharmaceutical industry in developing countries is one of the major factors accelerating market growth.
Developing countries, such as India, China, and South Korea, offer significant growth opportunities to players operating in the clinical trial imaging market, mainly due to the growing R&D funding in these countries. Furthermore, countries in the Asia Pacific and the Middle East have various developing countries involved in various development for the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in the country owing to a strong trend of commercialization of life science research. Furthermore, Asian markets have many CROs that offer drug discovery services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Thus, with the significant increase in R&D funding and the flourishing pharma sector with CROs operating in emerging countries, the demand for clinical trial imaging is expected to boost the market growth.
