Market Dynamics
The global clinical trial imaging market is mainly driven by growing number of clinical trials and rising spending on the research and development studies. Moreover, increasing number of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and contract research organizations is also boosting the growth of the clinical trial imaging market. However, high cost of imaging systems, high cost of clinical trials, and dearth of skilled professionals are some of the factors likely to hinder the market growth to a certain extent.
Market Ecosystem
The global clinical trial imaging market has been analyzed from four perspectives: Products & Services, Modality, End User, and Region.
Clinical Trial Imaging Market by Products & Services
[9753423]
Based on products & services, the clinical trial imaging market has been segmented into services and software. The services segment is further categorized into operational imaging services, systems & technical support services, read analysis services, and trial design consulting services. Services segment dominated the clinical trial imaging market in 2020. The large share of this segment can be attributed to increasing number of clinical trials and growing use of imaging modalities as a product development tool by pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies.
Clinical Trial Imaging Market by Modality
Based on modality, the clinical trials market has been segmented into computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, x-ray, positron emission tomography, echocardiography, and other modalities. The positron emission tomography (PET) segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the projected period. PET is majorly used in clinical trials that focus on safety of drugs, assess tumoral activity, cells proliferation or apoptosis in the body. Thus, increasing number of clinical trials is expected to fuel the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
Clinical Trial Imaging Market by End User
Based on end user, the clinical trials market has been segmented into pharmaceutical & biotechnology companies, medical device manufacturers, academic & government research institutes, and contract research organizations (CROs). Contract research organizations (CROs) segment held the largest market share in the clinical trial imaging market. Increasing R&D spending and increased outsourcing of clinical trials by medical device, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies are some of the key factors boosting the growth of clinical trial imaging market.
Clinical Trial Imaging Market by Region
Regionally, the global clinical trial imaging market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). North America held the largest market share in the global clinical trial imaging market in 2020. Presence of well-established healthcare framework, the rising number of research activities coupled with the increasing public and private funding for research studies are playing a crucial role in propelling the market growth in this region.
