The global optical imaging market, estimated to be worth $1,669.2 million in 2019, is expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR during the forecast period of 2014-2019. This market is mainly driven by the demand for safer, noninvasive, & high-throughput imaging modalities in the end-user markets, and technology advancements in the field of optical imaging. Moreover, rising research activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, and the growing application areas of optical imaging techniques for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, is also expected to contribute to the growth of the market. However, the market growth is restricted by factors such as stringent government regulations, reimbursement challenges, and the need for high capital expenditure.
The global optical imaging market is segmented by techniques, products, applications and geography. The market is mainly classified by techniques into Optical Coherence Tomography, Hyperspectral Imaging, Near-infrared Spectroscopy and Photoacoustic Tomography. By products, the market is segregated into the optical imaging systems, cameras, software, illumination systems, imaging lenses and others segments. The optical imaging systems market is further subdivided into OCT imaging systems and spectral imagers/spectral imaging systems. Furthermore, on the basis of applications, the market is classified into ophthalmology, neurology, oncology, dentistry, cardiology and dermatology.
By region, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). These regions are further analyzed at the country-level. The research report discusses key market drivers, restraints, and opportunities of the global market and its submarkets.
In 2013, the optical coherence tomography (OCT) segment accounted for the largest share of the global market. A major share of the OCT segment can be attributed to its wide and successful clinical applications in ophthalmology, especially for glaucoma and retinal imaging. The OCT segment will continue to dominate this market in 2019, growing at a double-digit CAGR during the forecast period.
North America represented the largest regional market in 2013, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and RoW. North America and Europe are expected to witness a healthy growth rate in coming years owing to growing aging population, along with the increasing incidence of associated disorders related to eye, heart & skin, and increasing research activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector.
