Bone Densitometer Market Size, Share, Competitive Landscape and Trend Analysis Report by Technology, Application and End User : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021--2030

Bone Densitometer Market Statistics - 2030

The global bone densitometer market was valued at $38,399.92 million in 2020, and is estimated to reach $57,422.62 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2021 to 2030. Growth of the global bone densitometer market is majorly driven by increase in osteoporosis cases, surge in incidence of accidents, and development of new bone densitometer products by large number of key players. Increase in number of bone-related disorders has led to surge in use of bone densitometer products, which is fueling the growth of the bone densitometer market. According to the Indian Society for Bone and Mineral Research, a multidisciplinary group of physicians, researchers, and epidemiologists who study bone related issues in their annual meeting, introduced the guidelines for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in India.

Bone densitometer is a device that is used to measure bone mineral content and density. It may be done by using X-rays and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA). DEXA scan is a simple and noninvasive system, which is considered to be the gold standard. This measurement shows the healthcare professional whether there is decrease in bone mass. This is a condition in which bones are more prone to break or fracture. The bone densitometer is used to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis. It is also used to determine future fracture risk.  

According to the International Osteoporosis Federation, there will be availability of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry instruments for diagnosis of osteoporosis disease. Therefore, growth  in number of osteoporosis disorders led to the usage of bone densitometer, which is anticipated to boost the market growth. Furthermore, increase in number of product approvals is expected to provide remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the global bone densitometer market during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a positive impact to fuel the growth of the global bone densitometer market. Despite the prolonged pandemic, people suffered from chronic bone health concerns and fractures. Therefore, the development of systems for bone mineral testing increases the use of bone densitometer products, which is anticipated to drive the bone densitometer market during the forecast period. However, high cost associated with bone densitometer products hinder the growth of the market.

Bone Densitometer Market Segmentation
