Non-Destructive Medical Technologies Market Share

Non-Destructive Medical Technologies Market Overview

The Non Destructive Medical Technologies Market Size was valued at USD 4.11 Billion in 2023. The Global Non Destructive Medical Technologies industry is projected to grow from USD 4.62 Billion in 2024 to USD 11.70 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.44% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). Nondestructive testing has a wide array of application in healthcare since it is used to detect defects in material without damaging the material or making it unsuitable for use.

Two common methods used are liquid penetrant testing (PT) and ultrasonic testing (UT). This techniques are used for detection of breast, lung, thyroid, and ovary cancer. Cancer is one of the major problems across the globe. The detection and identification of cancer has seen incredible improvements over the past several decades, offering a new lease on life to those who would have been out of luck in the past. Now, a new instrument invented named as MasSpec pen, designed, and built by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, has revolutionized the detection of cancer. The MasSpec Pen identifies cancerous tissue by touch and can detect cancer easily.

Increasing prevalence of cancer, increasing investment of biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in R&D, and rising need for the better diagnostic methods drives the growth of the market. There are more than 100 types of cancer, which has affected human. According to cancer research the UK in 2012, 14.1 million of new cancer cases was registered globally, which is increasing continuously. 

According to WHO, breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women. Every year 200,000 new cases are diagnosed worldwide. Prevalence of breast cancer is more common in developed countries compare with developing countries. Furthermore, rapid development in technology, increasing government support for research & development, changing lifestyle, and many adverse effects of the present diagnostic methods expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

However, these types of devices has to pass all the regulatory standards and rules, which increases the approval time. The average approval time for the medical diagnostic device may vary from 5-8 years. This long approval time, high cost of the research & development and devices may hamper the market growth during the corresponding period.

Non-Destructive Medical Technologies Market Regional Analysis 

The Americas dominates the global non-destructive medical technologies market owing to well-developed technology, increasing prevalence of cancer, high healthcare spending, and increasing government support for research & development. Furthermore, increasing R&D activities and the presence of major companies have fuelled the growth of the market in this region.

Europe holds the second position in the global non-destructive medical technologies market, which is followed by Asia Pacific. It is expected that the government support for research & development and availability of funds for research will drive the market in Europe region. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing non-destructive medical technologies market owing to the presence of rapidly developing healthcare technology, huge patient population and high healthcare expenditure. According to a survey carried out by Pfizer, in 2012, 6.7 million of cancer cases were registered in Asia Pacific region which is increasing continuously. Due to deteriorating lifestyle, smoking, and alcoholism, prevalence of cancer is increasing in Asia Pacific region.

On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa holds the least share of the non-destructive medical technologies market due to limited availability of medical facilities, less availability of funds, and poor political conditions in Africa.
