Mammography Market Trends

• The rising incidence of breast cancer is driving the market growth

Market CAGR for mammography is driven by the rising incidence of breast cancer in developed and developing countries. This rising incident has increased the demand for technologically advanced instruments focusing on early detection. The growing number of breast cancer patients has pushed governments across the globe to increase awareness regarding the significance of the early detection of breast cancer. As per the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second largest cause of cancer-related deaths in women across the world. Around 2,261,419 new breast cancer cases were diagnosed in women, and 684,996 women died due to breast cancer worldwide in 2020.

Favorable initiatives for breast cancer screening or an increase in the number of breast cancer screening programs or campaigns are expected to boost the growth of the  mammography market. For instance, in October 2020, the Kao Group of Japan launched the 'Kao Group Pink Ribbon Campaign 2020' in prominent cities across Japan. The campaign has been operating since 2007 to convey the significance of early detection of breast cancer to as multiple people as possible. Breast cancer is presently the most common type of cancer in Japanese females, driving the growth of the mammography market revenue.

The rising incidence of breast cancer is creating a higher demand for mammography as it is an essential screening element for early detection and diagnosis. The need for timely and accurate breast cancer detection is driving the growth of the mammography market. Governments and healthcare organizations are implementing breast cancer screening programs and awareness campaigns to promote early detection and reduce breast cancer-related mortality. These initiatives and reimbursement policies drive the demand for mammography services and contribute to market growth. Increasing healthcare expenditure in many countries and improved access to healthcare services are boosting the demand for mammography. Investments in healthcare infrastructure, advancements in medical technology, and growing disposable incomes support the market's growth.

Advancements in technology and computer programming have led to an increased involvement of computer-automated analyses in medical image interpretation. This is driven by the need for more accurate and efficient workflows in imaging interpretation. In breast imaging, FDA-approved artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are employed to support radiologists. AI automatically scans all breast photos, identifying regions of interest that may include suspicious malignancies, driving the market growth.

Mammography Market Segment Insights

Mammography Type Insights

The mammography market segmentation, based on type, includes screening mammography and diagnostic mammography. The diagnostic mammography segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (0.96 Billion).
