Europe Nuclear Medicine Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The European nuclear medicine market size is expected to be worth USD 1.88 billion in 2023 and USD 3.22 bn by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.4% from 2023 to 2028.

The growing patient population suffering from chronic diseases is majorly driving the European nuclear medicine market growth. Radiopharmaceuticals play a significant role in treating thyroid tumors and other types of cancer, such as neuroendocrine tumors, prostate cancer, metastatic bone cancer, and neuroblastoma, and for the palliative treatment of liver cancer. Nuclear medicine is used for early disease detection through diagnosis leading to early treatment and preventing critical conditions. Nuclear medicine uses a radioactive substance to examine diseases. Nearly 10 million European patients benefit from nuclear medicine in diagnosing and treating cancer and cardiovascular disease yearly.

The rising prevalence of neurological and orthopedic diseases is boosting the growth rate of the European nuclear medicine market. The increasing number of psychiatric suicide cases also lead to a demand for nuclear medicine. Nuclear medicine helps to detect the brain's functionality by using Pico molar amounts of radiopharmaceuticals to detect image changes in the brain. With growing age, many people suffer from orthopedic issues and prefer to have nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures for accurate results. Sports persons also use nuclear medicine to diagnose sports injuries and other issues such as avascular necrosis, bone tumors, metabolic bone diseases and others.

The growing number of advancements in the development of devices and equipment is another notable factor contributing to the growth of the nuclear medicine market in Europe. Nuclear medicine has a high growth rate due to the increasing use of nuclear medicine in several applications, such as radioactive iodine therapy and brachytherapy. It is also used for full-body imaging and helps in developing personalized medicine. Advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence are also used in nuclear medicine, which allows nuclear medicine physicians to focus on more complex activities. Additionally, increasing government investment and developing radiopharmaceutical medicine propel the European nuclear medicine market growth.

In addition, the growing demand to improve diagnostic and treatment procedures, the emergence of new applications in radiopharmaceuticals with advanced technology significantly and growing expenditure on healthcare are favoring the nuclear medicine market in Europe. The rise in the need for targeted treatment procedures, growing disposable income in urban areas, and rising support from the government and non-government organizations through funds for developing nuclear medicine are also supporting the market in the European region. The rise in awareness over the availability of various treatment procedures among people and ongoing research on developing new treatment procedures for different diseases at low cost are fuelling the growth rate of the European nuclear medicine market.

On the other hand, the high costs associated with the devices used for diagnosing patients using nuclear medicine are majorly hampering the growth of the European nuclear medicine market. Other factors such as low hospital budgets, less image quality in refurbished devices, and a need for more awareness of the procedures further hinder the growth of the European nuclear medicine market.
