Middle East and Africa PET Scanners Market

Middle East and Africa PET Scanners Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The size of the Middle East and Africa PET scanners market was worth USD 74.54 billion in 2023. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 2.55% from 2024 to 2032 and be worth USD 93.50 billion by 2032 from USD 76.44 billion in 2024.

MARKET SCENARIO

The Pet scanners market in the Middle East and Africa is expected to be majorly driven by Technological advancements like the introduction of Time of Flight (TOF) and the rise in the increasing popularity of hybrid imaging systems, which play an essential role in the growth of the nuclear imaging market.

Hybrid imaging using combined scanners, like SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and PET/MRI, is likely to propel future growth. In addition, arsenic 72 and (18F)-3’-fluoro-3’-deoxythymidine (18F-FLT) are newer biomarkers in the PET oncological practice. In addition, the increase in the use of PET-CT for cancer diagnosis is expected to boost the market growth further. Furthermore, the rise in prevalence of chronic illnesses throughout the region is majorly influencing the market growth in the region. Also, the growth in demand for effective diagnostic systems increased coverage for PET-CT scanning under Medicare, and growing awareness about pet imaging techniques is expected to boost the market. 

Moreover, the advancement of newer products and increasing investments by the government and private organizations to develop healthcare infrastructure influence market growth during the forecast period. For example, hybrid imaging, which combines PET and X-ray transmission CT scans, is becoming more popular throughout the region due to its ability to reduce acquisition time and offer precise attenuation correction and fusion imaging, resulting in improved diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, establishing guidelines for the manufacture of radiopharmaceuticals is projected to contribute to the market's development. The International Atomic Energy Agency, for example, authorized a project in February 2020 to provide support and expertise in the manufacturing of cyclotron-based gallium-68 radioisotope and associated radiopharmaceuticals.

Furthermore, the major companies in Middle East Arica are conducting research and development activities that contribute toward the market's revenue growth. In addition, the growing adoption of dual-modality imaging techniques or hybrid imaging is most likely to provide significant opportunities for key market players in the region; thereby, the market expansion is making possible. 

However, continuous reimbursement cutbacks are expected to hinder the growth of the market. Patient access to high-quality, cost-effective imaging and diagnostic services has been affected by declining payer reimbursement for PET and SPECT treatments, resulting in decreased outpatient volumes. However, limited shelf life and inadequate availability of radiopharmaceuticals are expected to restrict the market growth.
