Optical Imaging market Size To Expand at a Notable CAGR Of 10% During 2018 - 2023

Pune, India,January 2019 /MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future (MRFR) announces the publication of its research report – Global Optical Imaging Market, 2018–2023

Overview:

Driven by critical healthcare needs, optimal imaging is gaining traction as a detector technology. Optimal imaging is a technique where cellular and molecular function in a living body is interrogated with the help of light and the special properties of photons to obtain detailed images of organs and tissues. Optical imaging has the ability to improve point of care in the healthcare setting since it provides improved screening and detection of disease. The global optical imaging market is anticipated to attain a valuation of USD 1.92 Bn at a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period of 2018-2023, projects Market Research Future (MRFR) in an extensive study.

Optical imaging is a noninvasive technique is garnering high preference from the healthcare industry. Optimal imaging offers various advantages over radiological imaging techniques. Other than significant reduction in patient exposure to harmful radiations, optimal imaging technique is relatively faster and can be applied to lengthy and repeated procedures. Optimal imaging technique provides real-time diagnosis, even in remote areas. Surging awareness regarding the harmful effects radiation-based imaging has boosted the demand for optical imaging.

Unlike other imaging techniques, optical imaging is not limited to one or two measurements. They are capable of measuring properties of an organ or tissue at the same time. Furthermore, optical imaging combined with other imaging techniques provide enhanced monitoring of complex diseases and can also be helpful for researchers working on complex experiments. Increase in a number of research & development activities in the life sciences sector provides favorable grounds for the growth of the global optical imaging market.

Other factors contributing to the growth of the global optical imaging market include a rise in the population of aged people who are susceptible to various age-related disorders and consequently generate a high demand for diagnosis and treatment. Optimal imaging is progressively being applied to drug discovery processes and preclinical research which too spurs the growth of the global optical imaging market.

On the other hand, the market growth might face a slowdown due to factors such as stringent regulatory approval procedures, the high cost of instruments, lack of skilled workforce, and unfavorable reimbursement policies for optical imaging procedures.
