Magnetic Resonance Imaging Market

Global Magnetic Resonance Imaging Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Architecture (Closed MRI System and Open MRI Systems), by Application (Cardiology, Oncology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Musculoskeletal, and Others), by Field Strength (Low-To-Mid-Field MRI Systems, High-Field MRI Systems, and Very-High-Field MRI Systems) Forecast 2020-2026

Published: Jul 2019 | Report Code: OMR2023285 | Category : Medical Devices | Delivery Format: /

The global magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR  during the forecast period. MRI devices are electromagnetic imaging devices, which use radiofrequency to produce medical images. The major factors that are augmenting the growth of the MRI market include cohesive government policies in developing countries including China and India, as well as the increasing need for accurate MRI systems. In addition, the introduction of hybrid MRI systems, availability of universal health coverage in developed economies, and rising adoption of MRI systems in emerging economies are the major factors stimulating the growth of the MRI market.

Further, personalized care is evolving as an integral part of medicine, and molecular imaging is gaining prominence through the use of non-invasive processes for accurate diagnosis and determination of diseases. Multimodality imaging is playing a crucial role, primarily after the introduction of integrated positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and commercialization of combined PET/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) systems. PET/MRI is offering significant advantages, including excellent contrast and resolution. Moreover, it reduces ionizing radiation, as compared to MRI. Therefore, PET/MRI has a promising modality for oncologic imaging of some parts of the body, such as the brain, neck, head, liver, and pelvis. PET/MRI is a promising diagnostic and imaging tool, with a potential for further development in clinical indications and technical efficiency improvements. In the future, it can be used for personalized medicine approach and diagnostics, therapy decision, and therapy effect assessment. Furthermore, the aforementioned factors are expected to aid the growth of the market studied.

Segmental Outlook 

The market is segmented on the basis of architecture, application, and field strength. By architecture, the market is segmented into closed MRI systems and open MRI systems. By application, the market is categorized into cardiology, oncology, neurology, gastroenterology, musculoskeletal, and others. By field strength, the market is fragmented into low-to-mid-field MRI systems (<1.5t), high-field MRI systems (1.5t to 3t), and very-high-field MRI systems (4t and above). 

Among architecture, the closed MRI systems category is expected to lead the market due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the aging population across the globe. The closed MRI refers to a tube-like tunnel, which is the original shape of most of the MRI systems available in the market. By field strength, the high-field MRI systems (1.5t to 3t) category is expected to lead the market during the forecast period. High-field MRI systems fall in the category of high precision and affordability. Wide-bore MRIs of a field strength of 1.5T and more, are gaining popularity. These wide-bore MRI machines offer high-quality images and better diagnostic detail associated with a high field MRI scanner and the comfort of an open MRI scanner.

Regional Outlook

Geographically, the market is scrutinized by evaluating several regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. North America is anticipated to be one of the largest markets in terms of value. In North America, the increasing adoption is majorly due to the reimbursement of MRI scans, as most insurance companies, including Medicare, reimburses the cost of MRI scans. The market is also experiencing growth due to the presence of major companies in the region, such as GE Healthcare, Siemens, Canon Medical Systems Corp., among others. 

While, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for MRI, during the forecast period. China was estimated to be one of the largest markets, globally, in 2019, due to its large patient pool and growing middle class. Moreover, aggressive healthcare reforms by the Chinese government from 2009 onward, including the hierarchical medical system and the new rural cooperative medical system, would provide high growth opportunities in the MRI market.
