Nuclear medicine is a highly multi-disciplined medical imaging speciality sector that uses small amounts of radioactive material in order to diagnose and treat diseases related to gastrointestinal system, neurology, endocrine system, cardiology and cancer. Radiopharmaceuticals containing a radioactive tracer are generally inhaled, swallowed or injected into the patient and the gamma-rays emitted by this material are used by the SPECT and PET imaging modalities to display images. Nuclear medicine technique provides enhanced early detection, accurate diagnosis, rapid results, detailed description of various diseases and helps in adopting additional treatment plans when compared to traditional imaging methods. The adoptions of nuclear medicine for effective usage in integrated structure-function imaging, has made it a preferred imaging technique over traditional methods and increase its use in diagnostic radiology and various therapeutic indications. Advancements in radioactive tracers are providing practical methods for studying the limited metabolic activities of bones and teeth, hence has found a role in dental research, development of next generation therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals conjugated with antibodies and peptides is expanding new areas of research. As estimated by IQ4I Research, the nuclear medicine global market is expected to grow at high single digit CAGR to reach $9,367.8 million by 2024.

Increasing radioisotopes application, rise in public awareness, use of SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging scans (hybrid imaging) and advancements in technology are driving nuclear medicine market growth. In addition, increasing need in emerging markets, production of radiopharmaceuticals from cyclotrons, efficient diagnosis and treatments, emerging radio isotopes and replacement of old/traditional equipments are the opportunities likely to propel the growth of nuclear medicine market.  

However, high cost of radioisotopes, shorter half life, shortage of qualified technicians and radiotoxicity issues are restraining the market growth. Stringent regulations, high capital investment, closure of reactors and threat from traditional imaging techniques are hampering the market expansion.

The nuclear medicine global market by modality is segmented into diagnostics (SPECT and PET) and therapeutics market (alpha radiation therapy, beta radiation therapy and brachytherapy). Diagnostics market held the largest market revenue and is projected to grow at a high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 and therapeutics segment is growing at fast/rapidly at a high double digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to technological advancements in targeted treatment especially cancer related diseases, potential new radioisotope applications in development and advancement in neurological applications. SPECT held the largest revenue and is projected to grow at a high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increase in Tc-99m isotope applications and product approvals. PET is expected to be fastest growing market with high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to high accuracy and better contrast of images.

The nuclear medicine SPECT market by applications is segmented into cardiology, pulmonary, oncology, nephrology, neurology, inflammation, thyroid, lymphology and others. Cardiology market accounted largest share and is the fastest growing market with projected high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increase in number of cardiac imaging procedures using Tc-99m. PET market by applications is segmented into oncology, neurology, cardiology, inflammation and others. Oncology accounted for largest share and is the fastest growing market with projected high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increase in cancer imaging such as lung, thyroid and breast cancer.

Therapeutic nuclear medicine market is segmented into beta radiation therapy, brachytherapy and alpha radiation therapy. Alpha radiation accounted largest and is the fastest growing segment market with projected high double digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increase in market penetration of Ra-223 based product and regulatory approval (FDA and CE) also availability due to region specific licenses granted by Bayer. Therapeutic nuclear medicine by application is segmented into prostate, thyroid, liver, gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), metastatic bone cancer, breast cancer and others. Prostate cancer accounted largest share and is the fastest growing market projected with high double digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increase in incidence and prevalence of prostate cancer.

Nuclear medicine based on end-user market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory centers, diagnostic centers and other. Hospitals market accounted largest share in 2017 and is the fastest growing market with projected high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to ready availability of cyclotrons for generation of isotopes and presence of trained technicians who can handle radioisotopes.

The nuclear medicine global market based on geography is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the world. North America region commanded the largest revenue in 2017. Growing use of SPECT and PET scans, technological advancement in equipments, increased utilization of fusion imaging, alpha radio immunotherapy based targeted cancer treatment and on-demand availability of radiopharmaceutical has led the market growth in this region. However, Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at highest CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to increased public awareness and increase in radiopharmaceutical applications.

Increase in research application with respect to pharmaceutical, biotechnology sector and increase in applications are driving the market for stable isotopes, however high cost of stable isotope, side effects of isotopes and stringent regulations for manufacturing of stable isotopes are the factors hampering the market of stable isotope. As estimated by IQ4I Research, the stable isotope global market is expected to grow at high single digit CAGR to reach $256.9 million by 2024.

Stable isotopes are precursors used in production of radioisotopes and market is segmented into carbon (C-13), Deuterium (D-2), Oxygen (O-18), Nitrogen (N-15), Sulphur (S-32) and others. Deuterium (D-2) accounted largest share and is the fastest growing market with projected high single digit CAGR from 2017 to 2024 due to use in dietary supplement of deuterium-depleted water which helps to extend survival rate of lung cancer patient via exerting anticancer effect and modification of deuterium leads to development of novel, highly differentiated drugs which have therapeutic applications in diabetic nephropathy, hot flashes, spasticity, neuropathic pain and multiple melanoma. Stable isotope market by application is segmented into diagnostics-therapy, pharmaceuticals and others. Diagnostics-therapy segment commanded the largest market revenue and expected to grow at high single CAGR due to use in diagnosis and treatment of pancreas, liver and intestine related disorders.
