Market Introduction
Medical imaging refers to techniques and processes used to create images of various parts of the human body for diagnostic and treatment purposes within digital health. The term, medical imaging, includes various radiological imaging techniques such as: X-ray radiography, Fluoroscopy, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Medical ultrasonography or ultrasound, Endoscopy, Elastography, Tactile imaging, Thermography, Medical photography and nuclear medicine functional imaging techniques e.g., positron emission tomography (PET). Medical imaging is crucial in every medical setting and at all levels of healthcare.
Thus, the increasing demand for early diagnosis are expected to create a significant demand for medical imaging in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the medical imaging market.
Countries like Brazil and Argentina have also registered many positive coronavirus infection cases. These regions are developing in terms of the healthcare and medical service industry. The countries in these regions are highly dependent on medical devices imported from developed countries. Therefore, countries have faced several challenges with their requirements for medical imaging systems due to severe disruption in supply chains. Health authorities are worrying that attempting to fight the coronavirus will indirectly contribute to an increase in deaths of ill patients, including cancer patients, gynecology patients, and other causes. The death pool of ill patients in low-cost regions is expected to increase because healthcare professionals are having limited their patients checking as many clinics as possible, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgery centers have limited resources and staff. However, there has been a spur in demand for imaging modalities such as computed tomography and ultrasound systems to manage the treatment of patients suffering with COVID-19. Countries were severely hit by the pandemic and deployed large number of chests imaging every single day. These factors thus encouraged the growth of the medical imaging market in this region.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The Medical imaging market in South and Central America is expected to grow from US$ 1,065.0 million in 2021 to US$ 1,316.8 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2021 to 2028.
