세계의 광음향 토모그래피 시장 평가 : 제품 유형별, 용도별, 적응증별, 최종사용자별, 지역별, 기회, 예측(2018-2032년)

Global photoacoustic tomography market is projected to witness a CAGR of 13.30% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 102.17 million in 2024 to USD 277.43 million in 2032. The market's growth is supported by the rising incidences of chronic diseases, increasing emphasis on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with diagnostic solutions, and growing investments in molecular imaging. Photoacoustic tomography is useful in monitoring and diagnosing a wide range of diseases including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and skin diseases, among others owing to its high resolution and non-invasive nature which makes it effective in characterization of functional tissues. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 1 in 5 people develop cancer during their lifetime.

The rising burden of different chronic diseases is augmenting the requirement for different diagnostic tools such as photoacoustic tomography due to its ability to visualize microvascular networks molecular biomarkers, and oxygen saturation levels in real time for assessing treatment response as well as the progression of the disease. Additionally, the rising incidences of lifestyle related diseases is pushing medical professionals to adopt novel diagnostic solutions that are minimally invasive in nature. Moreover, the growth awareness about the various advantages associated with photoacoustic tomography coupled with the increasing investments in the healthcare infrastructure are further bolstering its adoption across ambulatory care centers, diagnostic laboratories, and hospitals. Meanwhile, various academic institutions and market players are working on bridging the gap between implementation and innovation, ensuring the accessibility of photoacoustic tomography.

Increasing Emphasis on Novel Product Launches Boosts Market Growth

By focusing on product innovation and launching new technologies, the leading medical device companies are able to offer faster imaging speeds, higher resolution, and multimodal integration, expanding the clinical applications of photoacoustic tomography. Innovations enable early disease detection by improving diagnostic accuracy of diseases such as neurological conditions, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Additionally, new product launches are also allowing companies to address the rising requirements for economically efficient, user-friendly, and portable devices to facilitate their adoption in different regions across the globe. Moreover, regulatory approvals accompanying new technologies and devices are building physician confidence and supporting reimbursement, allowing for their commercialization. Thus, various companies are engaging in partnerships and strategic collaborations to bolster the availability of new products and technologies and expand their geographical presence. For instance, in November 2024, Seno Medical Instruments, Inc. received an Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc. for its Imagio Breast Imaging System. Such contracts are expected to bolster the expansion of photoacoustic tomography in breast cancer diagnostics, driving the market's growth.

Rising Investments in Imaging Technologies Support Market Expansion

Increasing investments in research and development activities for medical imaging are allowing the development and availability of advanced technological solutions. Government agencies, private research facilities, and imaging companies are investing large amounts of money to further develop technologies, to make it have better resolution, speed, and reliability in a clinical environment. Additionally, several companies are also working toward adding multi-wavelength and 3D PAT systems in their portfolios so that deeper tissue imaging and functional mappings can be carried out with ease. Additionally, increasing research focus on further miniaturization of PAT systems for wearable or endoscopic applications is anticipated to open exciting new diagnostic and therapeutic avenues for photoacoustic tomography. These innovations are expected to reduce costs and enhance the scalability of PAT systems so that they can be deployed in real clinical setups. In order to do so, various leading market players are also focusing on getting fundings to carry on their research efforts. For instance, in December 2022, iThera Medical GmbH secured an investment of USD 14.72 million (€13 million) to support the company's efforts to innovate and commercialize its advanced imaging technology and translate optoacoustic imaging technology in clinical settings.

Oncology Accounts for Significant Share of the Market

The segment's dominance can be attributed to photoacoustic tomography's ability to detect tumors through the mechanism of hemoglobin absorption contrast without resorting to the exogenous agents. Non-invasive methods that help visualize cancerous tissues in real-time are becoming increasingly sought after in the treatment of breast, skin, and thyroid cancers. Developments in multi-spectral photoacoustic tomography systems provide an edge in the field of oncology, by allowing simultaneous detection of multiple molecular markers.

The American Cancer Society estimates that 618,120 cancer related deaths will occur in the United States in 2025. With increasing cancer incidence across the globe early detection is becoming crucial, bolstering the market's demand.

North America Holds Major Market Share

The market's growth in the region can be attributed to the rising investments in diagnostic imaging, neuroscience, and cancer research, strong presence of leading market players, and rapid adoption of advanced technological solutions in healthcare industry. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of neurological disorders and cancer coupled with the growing requirement for non-invasive imaging solutions are also augmenting the market's demand. The American Cancer Association estimates that over 2 million new cancer cases will be reported in the United States in 2025.

The market is expected to witness rapid growth in the United States owing to the country's strong regulatory framework, increasing collaborations between leading market players and research organizations, and increasing investments in research and development activities. The country's dominance is also supported by the growing reliance on artificial intelligence driven imaging solutions, rising requirement for early disease detection, and growing burden of chronic diseases in the United States.

Impact of the U.S. Tariffs on Global Photoacoustic Tomography Market

The increased financial strains from the tariffs are expected to force leading medical device companies to reallocate resources, potentially reducing investments from research and development activities. Reallocation can slow the innovation process, resulting in delays in advancements that are crucial for early treatment planning and disease detection. In response, various companies are restructuring their supply chains, including sourcing components from alternative countries and relocating manufacturing facilities. Such restructuring could result in temporary disruptions in the availability of new diagnostic and imaging systems, affecting production timelines and market supply.

Key Players Landscape and Outlook

The key players of the market are actively participating in partnerships, agreements, and collaborations to expand their global presence and ensure the availability of advanced medical solutions in different regions across the globe. For instance, in January 2023, Seno Medical Instruments, Inc. entered into an exclusive distributor agreement with Genetik, Inc. to service, market, and sell its Imagio Opto-Acoustic/Ultrasound (OA/US) Breast Imaging System. The agreement will allow Genetik to distribute the imaging system in Singapore. Such collaborations are expected to bolster the utilization, accessibility, and awareness about photoacoustic tomography in breast imaging, propelling the market's expansion and allowing medical professionals to provide high quality care to the patient population with the help of non-invasive cancer diagnostic solutions.
