U.S. Contrast Injector Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Contrast media injectors (CMI) are injectors used in radiology to inject contrast media agents into the bloodstream of patients for the clear visualization of various medical conditions and pathologies. These injectors are used in hospitals with X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography systems, and other scanners.

U.S. Contrast Injector Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing  Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

The prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and kidney disorders has been increasing in the United States. Contrast injectors are essential in diagnosing and monitoring these conditions, which is expected to drive demand in the market.

According to the WHO updates from July 2021, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally. An estimated 17.9 million each year suffer from cardiovascular diseases. Four out of five cardiovascular deaths are due to strokes and heart attacks, and one-third of deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years. Similarly, according to the WHO 2021 fact sheet, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic diseases, are responsible for the death of about 41 million people each year, which was about 71% of the total deaths recorded all over the world. As per the same source, every year, over 15 million people aged between 30-69 years die due to NCDs across the world. Thus, due to the high burden of mortality due to NCDs, the demand for diagnostic procedures is increasing.

•  Rising Number of Geriatric Population

The aging U.S. population is more susceptible to various health conditions that require diagnostic imaging. This demographic trend contributes to the increasing demand for contrast injectors.

The number of persons above 65 years is projected to double in the coming years. As people age, there is an increase in the occurrence of degenerative diseases, which could be treated with diagnosis. The growing older population is expected to increase the demand for treatment procedures, thereby accelerating the growth of the contrast injector market.

• Increasing Demand for Minimally Invasive

Contrast injectors are also used in minimally invasive procedures such as interventional radiology and angioplasty. The growth of these procedures boosts the demand for contrast injectors.

One of the factors attributed to the growth of the contrast media injectors market are increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries. Several advancements in contrast media injector technology have been made to reduce contrast media waste and automate data collection regarding the dose received by a patient. This is expected to contribute to the growth of the market studied over the forecast period.

Opportunity

• Rising Healthcare Expenditure

As healthcare expenditure in the U.S. continues to rise, healthcare facilities are more likely to invest in advanced medical equipment, including contrast injectors, to improve patient care and outcomes. The rise in healthcare expenditure helps healthcare organizations improve their facilities and equipment.

In addition, manufacturers are constantly innovating to develop more user-friendly and efficient contrast injectors. Features such as touchscreen interfaces, automation, and remote control capabilities are becoming more common.

Restraint/Challenge

• Rising Healthcare Expenditure

On the other hand, high cost of contrast media injectors and adverse effects of contrast agents are the major factors among others are expected to obstruct market growth. Moreover, Changes in healthcare reimbursement policies and rates can impact the financial viability of medical procedures using contrast injectors. This will further challenge the market in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.
