The Future of the Mammography Equipment Market Looks Promising in the US
The US mammography equipment market valued at $457.2 m in 2008 is forecast to grow by 3.6% annually between 2008 and 2015 to reach $584.8 m in 2015. Increased usage of digital mammography equipment, advances in technology, increased public awareness, low dosage features in digital equipment, and highly efficient digital technology will drive growth in this market.
Full-Field Digital Mammography Equipment to Drive the Growth of the US Mammography Equipment Market
The Full-Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) equipment segment is the largest revenue contributing segment in the US mammography equipment market. FFDM equipment remains the key market segment driving growth within the US mammography equipment market. This segment accounted for over 95% of the overall mammography equipment revenue in 2008. Advances in technology and the demand for more efficacious systems are expected to increase the sales of the FFDM equipment in the US.
Positive results of the Digital Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST) has boosted the usage of Mammography Equipment
Following the results of the DMIST that showed that digital mammography offered significant benefits for a large percentage of the study population, demand for these systems had increased significantly since 2005. The acceptance has been high and double sided, both from the clinics and from patients. Before the DMIST results had become public, only 10% of US diagnostic clinics were equipped with FFDM equipment. The trial was a success of sorts for the digital mammography market in the US. In the four-year study of nearly 50,000 women, the accuracy of digital mammography was found to be significantly higher than film-based mammography.
