Asia Pacific Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Equipment Market

Asia-Pacific Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Equipment Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) equipment market size in Asia-Pacific is expected to be worth USD 614.7 million by 2029 from USD 308.3 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 14.8% from 2024 to 2029.

The increasing prevalence of breast cancer will lead to the market's growth during the projected period. According to Breastcancer.org, in 2019, 268,650 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women, along with 62,950 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer. In addition, the increase in government initiatives to promote awareness of breast cancer treatment and the growing female population are other key factors responsible for the growth of the market in the APAC region.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide; around 2.15 million women have breast cancer each year, with the highest number of deaths recorded among women due to cancer. In 2018, an estimated 627,500 women died from breast cancer, accounting for almost 15.69% of all cancer deaths among women worldwide.

Increasing breast cancer screening and minimal radiation exposure procedures are other factors that will drive the market. DBT screening improves breast cancer detection rates and reduces callbacks that raise the patients' prognosis. During a DBT procedure, patients are exposed to higher radiation levels than with 2D mammography. Hence, a decrease in radiation exposure is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for players in the market. Regulators should also define the use of DBT in breast cancer screening and its role in diagnosing and staging cancer.

Lack of clinical trials supporting the efficacy of DBT will hamper the growth of the APAC digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) Equipment market. In addition, lack of devices or skilled labor to perform the procedure coupled with poor healthcare facilities in developing/under-developed countries in the APAC region will challenge the market growth.
