Middle East and Africa Medical Imaging Market

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 UAE and Saudi Arabia 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.

The Medical imaging market in Middle East and Africa is expected to grow from US$ 1,607.3 million in 2021 to US$ 2,046.2 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2021 to 2028. The use of 3D (and potentially even 4D) technologies in diagnostic radiology can create better images, for powerful results. Though ultrasounds are very popular in the medical field, they are limited by the inability to obtain high-resolution, detailed images. Using 3D technology, it is possible to improve ultrasound resolution, and enhance patient care. Experts at CareStream Health, a leader in digital medical solution and IT infrastructure for healthcare, have also been exploring 3D capabilities in imaging, specifically in CT scans. The software in their OnSight 3D Extremity System increases the contrast of soft tissue and reduces the visibility of metal artifacts compared to traditional CT images. These improvements enable sharp 3D construction and lead to a better understanding of patient health.
