What is driving the growth of PET CT market?
The rise in incidence and prevalence of diseases, both malignant and non-malignant, infectious, Alzheimer, and cardio vascular diseases drive the market. In addition, the growth of geriatric population that is susceptible to taking medications for their wellbeing is expected to fuel the growth of the market. However, the high cost of PET-CT scanner is anticipated to restrict the market growth
By geography, the global PET-CT scanner device market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific held the largest share of the market in 2016, followed by North America.
In addition, Asia is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional segment during the analysis period. The key factors that drive the growth of the market include increase in pool of patient population, growth in prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases, and rise in government investments for the development of better healthcare facilities and R&D. Asia-Pacific is expected to emerge as the area with maximum growth potential due to the focus of key players in the emerging economies and improvements in healthcare infrastructure.
