The global breast cancer imaging market size was valued USD 3.6 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to register at a robust CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the improved quality of breast images, patient comfort, and reduced patient dose.

Breast cancer imaging system is a diagnostic tool utilized for locating the site of cancer cells. It provides detailed information such as extent of the disease as well as the structural changes. Cancer imaging systems detect the tumor in the body and its associated complications, which helps in the evaluation of the post therapeutic treatment by specialists.
Breast cancer imaging is also used to evaluate the stages. Mammography, ultrasonography, and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are three types of imaging systems that are used for detection of breast cancer.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing technological advancements in the field of breast imaging and rising investment from different organizations for breast cancer screening campaigns are projected to boost the market growth.
- Patient is exposed to multiple sets of radiations for therapeutic purposes during breast imaging procedures, which can create challenges for the growth of the market.
- Growing awareness about screening programs is speculated to stimulate the market growth.
