Intraoperative Imaging Market

Intraoperative Imaging Market Research, 2031

The global intraoperative imaging market size was valued at $2.0 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2022 to 2031. The intraoperative imaging system is an optical imaging technology, which is used by surgeon to get timely and in-depth image of surgical site during the surgery. Intraoperative imaging guides surgeon by providing image of organ, tissue, or cell on which surgeon perform surgery. Various types of intraoperative imaging devices include intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative CT, intraoperative MRI, intraoperative X-ray, and mobile C-arm. These devices are used in different surgical procedures such as cancer surgery, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, and gastrointestinal surgery.

The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on growth of the global intraoperative imaging market. Moreover, there is cancellation of non-emergency surgeries in pandemic affected the growth of intraoperative device market. According to the report share by the British Journal of Surgery in May 2020, it was reported that approximately 28.4 million elected surgeries estimated to be canceled in 2020 over the globe.

The growth of the global intraoperative imaging market share is majorly driven by increase in the number of surgeries, rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, and increase in the number product launch by different key players. Moreover, increase in the geriatric population contributes toward the growth of the market. This is attributed to the fact that aged individuals are highly vulnerable to chronic diseases, which, in turn, escalated the need for intraoperative imaging devices, thus driving the growth of the market. For instance, according to the report share by the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2021, by 2030, 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 years or over. Moreover, according to the Journal of JAMA Network Open, in 2021, about 32% of surgical procedure in the U.S. were reported to have conducted in patients aged more than 65 years.

In addition, advancements in intraoperative imaging devices and adoption of these technologies in hospital and ambulatory surgical centers for better outcome of surgery fuel the market growth. Moreover, initiatives taken by government for development of the healthcare industry boosts the market growth. Increase in prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases leads to increase in the number of surgical procedures, thus propelling the intraoperative imaging market growth. For instance, according to report share by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), in February 2022, an estimated number of population diagnosed with brain and spinal cord tumor in the U.S. is 25,050 adults in which 14,170 men and 10,880 women. Furthermore, increase in number of orthopedic surgeries propels the market for intraoperative imaging, as intraoperative devices such as intraoperative X-ray and C-arm are majorly used in orthopedic surgeries. For instance, as per the report shared by the Canadian Joint Replacement Registry (CJRR), approximately more than 75,000 knee replacement and 63,000 hip replacement surgeries were performed in Canada from 2019 to 2020. This report further states 2.4% increase in the hip replacement surgery from 2019 to 2020.

Rise in the number of key players to manufacture intraoperative imaging devices and increase in R&D activities in medical devices propel the intraoperative imaging market growth. For instance, Brainlab AG, a medical technology company, in 2019, announced the launch of Loop-X, which is a mobile intraoperative imaging robot. Moreover, Fujifilm Holding, a conglomerate company, announced the launch of persona CS compact mobile C-arm imaging solution in November 2021. It is designed for rapid and seamless positioning in operating room (OR) environments. Acquisition and partnership are the key strategies adopted by the major players to strengthen their foothold in the global intraoperative imaging market. For instance, in 2021, General Electric Company (GE)—a medical technology company—announced the acquisition of BK Medical, an advanced surgical visualization company, to increase portfolio of GE Company in the healthcare segment.Furthermore, in 2021, Philips, a healthcare technology company, announced the launch of Persona CS mobile fluoroscopy system, which is an intraoperative imaging product.

The use of advanced technology in manufacturing of intraoperative imaging devices play an important role in the global healthcare sector. Key players are manufacturing new intraoperative imaging devices to get better post-surgical outcome. For instance, in 2021, Atrium Health, a healthcare company, announced the use of intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging technology in the neuroscience care center. Adoption of these new technologies has increased among end users such as hospitals and clinics, which is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of intraoperative imaging market.

Moreover, increase in the number of cancer surgeries contributes toward the growth of the market. This is attributed to the fact that intraoperative imaging is used in different cancer surgeries to identify small lesions and precise intraoperative localization of tumors, which are essential for surgeons to make adequate surgical planning. The intraoperative imaging device guides the surgeons for placement of implants in the patient body. In addition, presently, the use of C-arm machine has increased among surgeons in orthopedic surgeries to improve surgical outcome. Furthermore, advancements in technology in the medical device sector and rise in demand for minimal invasive procedure are anticipated to the growth of the intraoperative imaging market. For instance, in neurosurgeries such as brain tumor removal, neurosurgeons rely on intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) to identify location of brain tumor, lesions present at the site, and to identify hematoma. Thus, increase in number of brain tumor removal procedure leads to the growth of intraoperative imaging market.

Global Intraoperative Imaging Segmentation

The intraoperative imaging market is segmented into type and region. By type, the market is categorized into intraoperative Ultrasound, intraoperative CT, intraoperative MRI, and others.
