Bone densitometry is a non-invasive diagnostic
technique which involves use of bone densitometers for quantitative measurement
of bone mass or density. Over a past few decades, decrease in bone mass or
density has been associated with the occurrence of fractures in future and thus
bone density measurement has been considered as an indicator to predict
fracture risk. Moreover, people with medications for corticosteroid treatment,
cancer, eating disorders, amenorrhea and genetic disorders are also preferred for
evaluation of bone mineral density.
Major
improvements in diagnostic technology have been witnessed since last decade due
to change in perception for osteoporotic disease, growing elderly population
and high expenditure to society and healthcare agencies along with the adverse
effects on patients across the globe. The advances in the technology are making
it possible for early detection of disease before fracture occurs. With
socio-economic development in many developing countries and rapid ageing of the
population, osteoporosis has become one of the most prevalent and costly health
problems in these regions. Growing ageing population combined with increased
vitamin D deficient patients and rise in risk for osteoporosis in
post-menopausal women contribute to the growth of this market particularly in
emerging economies of Middle East, India, China and Japan.
Moreover, technological advances in bone densitometers coupled with increase in
access and recognition of these technologies in emerging market, such as China,
Brazil, Japan and India will
serve as an opportunity for investors to invest in.
The global market for bone densitometers has
been studied from the perspective of currently widely accepted technologies and
the major end users. Technologies are further segmented, based on axial and
peripheral bone density measurement. Axial bone densitometers include dual
energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computed tomography. Peripheral
bone densitometers include single energy X-ray absorptiometry, peripheral dual
energy X-ray absorptiometry, radiographic absorptiometry, quantitative
ultrasound and peripheral computed tomography. The endusers for bone
densitometers include clinics and hospitals. Hospitals remain the major hub in
most of the countries across the globe for bone densitometry diagnostics and
devices.
It is
expected that the global market for axial bone densitometers will grow at a
CAGR of over 3% from 2013 to 2019.In 2012, axial DEXA accounted for the largest
share by revenue at USD 297.8 million of
the total bone densitometers market. However, due to the decrease in the
reimbursement, the overall market revenue is expected to decline during the
forecast period in the U.S and Europe. The market for axial QCT accounted for
the second largest share at USD 182.9million, in 2012. Moreover, it is expected that
the global market for peripheral QCT bone densitometers will grow at a CAGR of
over 4% from 2013 to 2019, owing to its high sensitivity, portability of
devices, lesser scanning time, with better precision and accuracy, and also
less radiation exposure.
Geographically, North
America dominated
the global market for bone densitometers in terms of revenue generation and is
expected to maintain its position throughout the forecast period. The adoption
of DEXA systems, growing elderly population and consequent rise in incidences of osteoporosis in the
U.S., is expected to contribute to the leadership of the North American market. Europe was the second largest regional
market for bone densitometers in 2012, owing to the increased demand for bone
density measurement.
The global bone densitometers market is
dominated by few major players includingGE Healthcare Ltd.,Hologic, Inc.,
CooperSurgical, Inc. and Diagnostic Medical Systems S.A. Theother key players
in the bone densitometers marketinclude BeamMed Ltd.,CompuMed, Inc., Lone Oak
Medical Technologies LLC and OsteometerMediTech, Inc.
