Mammography Detectors Market Overview and Growth by 2030

[Research Report] The mammography detectors market size is projected to grow from US$ 155.69 million in 2022 to US$ 234.65 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.3% during 2022–2030.

Market Insights and Analyst View:

Mammography detector-based imaging has become an essential part of the breast cancer detection process. Mammography is a diagnostic and screening technique that involves using low-energy X-rays to examine human breasts for the possibility of breast cancer based on distinct lumps or microcalcifications, thereby diagnosing the condition in its early stage. Mammography detectors use low-dose X-rays to identify cancer before symptoms appear in females. Several mammography detectors available in the market include computer radiography detectors, flat panel detectors, and CMOS flat panel detectors.

Growth Drivers:

Breast cancer is the world’s most diagnosed cancer type. A few of the usual symptoms of breast cancer include the appearance of inverted nipples, changes in breast shape, development of lumps in the breast, and red or scaly patches on skin or sore nipples. Factors such as lifestyle changes, hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors contribute to the rising prevalence of breast cancer. As per the World Health Organization, ~ 2.3 million women in the world were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020, while 685,000 cases resulted in death. The International Agency for Research on Cancer projected that the incidence of breast cancer would increase by more than one-third by 2040, to over 3 million new cases per year; the annual number of deaths due to the disease is expected to rise by more than half to reach ~1 million. The prevalence of breast cancer is growing globally and has resulted in heightened demand for mammography detectors market for diagnosis.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the US. A report published by Breastcancer.org in January 2022 stated that 1 in 8 women in the country (or ~13%) would suffer from invasive breast cancer over their lifetime. According to the same source, 287,850 new incidences of invasive breast cancer, along with 51,400 new cases of noninvasive (in situ) breast cancer, were detected in women in the US in 2022. In the same year, the country recorded ~2,710 additional cases of invasive breast cancer in men. Approximately 1 in 833 men are at risk of developing breast cancer throughout their lives. It is also the most common type of cancer found in German women. As per Globocan 2020, nearly 69,697 new instances of breast cancer were reported in 2020 in Germany, representing 11.1% of all registered cancer cases. The disease caused 20,579 fatalities, and the five-year prevalence rate of breast cancer in all ages was 707.38 per 100,000 population. The Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz study on mammography in Germany states that despite significant progress in breast cancer treatment, ~17,000 women succumb to death due to this disease. Breast cancer treatment costs almost US$ 2.13 billion (EUR 2 billion) annually. As per the National Health Service data, about 1 in 7 women are diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifespan in Great Britain. Each year, ~55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Three imaging techniques are used for the diagnosis of breast cancer: X-ray mammography (examination of the breast using a low-dose X-ray system), sonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Mammography is the standard diagnostic and screening technique for screening breast tissues to check the presence of a malignant tumor. The procedure involves using low-energy X-rays. Mammography detectors are devices that use breast X-rays to detect and diagnose breast cancer. Special X-ray images help spot abnormal growth or alterations in breast tissues, aiding in the early detection of breast cancer.

Thus, the incidence of breast cancer is anticipated to increase in the coming years, driving the mammography detector market growth, as mammography is the most efficient method to screen for breast cancer in women showing no symptoms.
