Mammography Detectors Market is expected to reach US$ 234.65 million by 2030

Flat Panel Detectors Segment to Lead Mammography Detectors Market Based on Detector Type During 2022–2030

According to our new research study on “Mammography Detectors Market Forecast to 2030 – Global Analysis – by Detector Type, End User, and Geography,” the mammography detectors market size was valued at US$ 155.69 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 234.65 million by 2030; the market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.3% from 2022 to 2030. Key factors driving the growth of the mammography detectors market include an increase in the incidence of breast cancer and rising awareness of the importance of early detection. However, the high cost of mammography procedures hinders the growth of the mammography detectors market.

Based on detector type, the mammography detectors market is segmented into computed radiography detectors, flat panel detectors, CMOS flat detectors, and others. The flat panel detectors segment held the largest share of the market in 2022. The CMOS flat detectors segment is expected to register the highest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. Flat panel detectors, a type of digital detector, have largely replaced traditional film screen systems due to their superior image quality, efficiency, and ease of use. They consist of a scintillator layer that converts X-ray photons into visible light and an array of thin film transistors or amorphous silicon photodiodes that convert the visible light into electronic signals. The signals are then processed and converted into a digital image.

One of the main advantages of flat panel detectors in mammography is their high detective quantum efficiency, which is a measure of their ability to convert X-ray energy into useful image signals. A high detective quantum efficiency is crucial for identifying small and low-contrast lesions. These detectors have a higher detective quantum efficiency compared to film screen systems, resulting in improved image quality and diagnostic accuracy. Another advantage of these detectors is that they can capture a broader range of X-ray intensities, which allows for better visualization of subtle abnormalities and reduces the need for repeat exposures. Flat panel detectors have faster image acquisition and processing capabilities. The digital images can be immediately viewed on a computer monitor. Digital images can also be easily stored, transmitted, and shared effortlessly, thereby improving workflow efficiency and enabling remote consultations. These detectors have a more compact design compared to traditional systems, which makes them easier to position and maneuver during mammography examinations. They also require lower radiation doses for image acquisition, contributing to patient safety.

Mammography detector manufacturers continuously work toward developing new flat panel detector technologies and improving the existing ones to enhance image quality, reduce radiation dose, and improve workflow efficiency. This has led to the availability of a broad range of flat panel detectors in the market, catering to the diverse needs of mammography facilities. Analogic Corporation flat-panel detectors capture images directly onto a patented detector consisting of a layer of amorphous selenium deposited on a thin-film transistor array. These detectors capture more precise breast images, leading to highly accurate diagnoses without burdening patients. The amorphous selenium technology enables the highest-quality radiographic images and faster patient throughput.

Thus, flat panel detectors have become the standard for digital mammography due to their benefits such as improved image quality, wider dynamic range, faster image acquisitions, and enhanced workflow efficiency. These advantages make them an essential tool for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. The high demand for these detectors is also attributed to the fact they can be retrofitted into existing X-ray tables.

Based on region, the mammography detectors market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during 2022–2030. The projected market growth in the region is attributed to the developing healthcare infrastructure, rising breast cancer cases, growing government support, and the increasing number of startups and biotech companies. China, India, and Japan are three major contributors to the growth of the mammography detectors market in Asia Pacific. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics published in April 2023, China accounted for 24% of new diagnoses and 30% of cancer-related fatalities recorded globally in 2020. Over the last 3 decades, the age-standardized incidence of breast cancer has climbed from 17.07 per 100,000 in 1990 to 35.61 per 100,000 in 2019. According to the World Health Organization, Japan reported 92,024 new breast cancer cases in 2020, representing 8.9% of the total cancer cases in the country. It caused 17,081 deaths in 2020 in Japan. Furthermore, the government in Japan has initiated cancer control programs as it is one of the leading causes of death in Japan. Cancer screening programs are implemented throughout the country by municipalities with government support.

India is expected to serve several growth opportunities for the mammography detectors market during the forecast period. Developments in the healthcare sector and the Make in India concept have led to growing numbers of small and medium enterprises across the country. The country also consists of various multinational and international companies. More than 800 private companies are operating in mammography detector market. In India, the significantly rising number of hospitals and primary healthcare centers across urban and rural areas results in an elevated demand for mammography detectors. Additionally, government agencies, NGOs, and charity organizations are emphasizing more on breast cancer awareness among the population to promote early detection; provide comprehensive treatment modules; and extend support for breast cancer management, screening, and rehabilitation. Indian states were shortlisted, and the project ECHO was initiated to increase breast cancer awareness and screening programs in rural and semi-urban Indian populations. Also, the growing prevalence of breast cancer in India is likely to enhance the research and development activities on breast cancer screening in India.

Analogic Corporation; Siemens Healthineers; Teledyne DALSA; Varex Imaging; Fujifilm Holdings; Koninklijke Philips NV; Hologic, Inc.; PerkinElmer; Carestream Health; and Canon Medical Systems are among the leading companies operating in the mammography detectors market.  

Based on detector type, the mammography detectors market is categorized into computed radiography detectors, flat panel detectors, CMOS flat detectors, and others. The mammography detectors market, by end user, is segmented into hospitals and clinics, and diagnostic centers. The mammography detectors market, by geography, is segmented into North America (US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (France, Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, and Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and Rest of Asia Pacific), the Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, UAE, South Africa, and Rest of Middle East & Africa), and South & Central America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of South & Central America).
