Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Equipment Market

Global Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Equipment Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global digital breast tomosynthesis equipment market size was worth USD 1736.62 million in 2024. This value is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.14% and will be worth USD 3364.29 Million by 2029.

DBT is a medical 3D breast imaging technique that is a full-fledged digital mammography system where an X-ray tube rotates round to capture breast images from all angles with low radiation dosage and gathered together to view on the monitor.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing incidence of breast cancer across the globe is the key factor driving the DBT Equipment market growth. According to National Breast Cancer Foundation, an estimated 268,600 with invasive breast cancer and 62,930 women with non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2019. The death expectancy was estimated in 41,760 women. It is also projected 1 in 8 women in the United States develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Across the world, the North American region is estimated to witness huge demand for this DBT equipment due to the significant growth of breast cancer occurrence in this region.

Growing awareness among people towards 2D & 3D mammography, well-developed equipment for the treatment, and technological advancements in the techniques for the quick diagnosis and detection of breast lesions is further accelerating the market growth. Escalating expenditure on healthcare and rising awareness about the benefits associated with DBT across the world are also contributing to a significant boost to the global digital breast tomosynthesis market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The rising cost of breast cancer treatment & maintenance of installed technology hampers the digital breast tomosynthesis equipment market growth. Skilled experts or trained lab technicians/radiologists are required to use the equipment. The shortage of this skilled human resource is expected to impact the growth of the digital breast tomosynthesis equipment market to some level. Shortages of reimbursement policies from the government and non-government bodies and lack of complete knowledge regarding digital breast tomosynthesis in a few countries are further expected to obstruct the market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) equipment market

The emergence of the global pandemic has affected the market in many aspects, such as the decline in revenue, production, and distribution. The rapid surge of the covid-19 has led to the nationwide lockdown. Due to strict lockdown and closure of commercial businesses in almost every part of the world, the covid-19 pandemic disrupted the supply chain. It brought many large and small businesses to a halt. Due to a lack of staff and travel bans, the Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Equipment industry has experienced a substantial adverse effect on supply chains, demand, and production. However, with the manufacture and distribution of vaccines, the lifting of lockdowns, and the lifting of travel bans, the world is expected to return to normal gradually. Other significant factors that could significantly affect the industry's development include government policies to help the economy recover from the recession and increase the number of start-ups in the Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) Equipment sector. As a result, the study seeks to illustrate the approaches and tactics for developing and maintaining business growth by applying new techniques.
