Over the course of the projected period, rising cancer incidence is anticipated to drive market growth for positron emission tomography (PET) scanners. For instance, the American Cancer Society predicts that there will be 606,880 cancer deaths and 1,762,450 new cancer cases in the United States in 2019. Medicare coverage for PET scanning is also anticipated to contribute to the market's expansion. The radioisotope 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), used in PET/computed tomography (PET-CT) scanners, has a high success rate in the diagnosis of cancer. Expanded coverage for PET imaging in cancers such lung cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, lymphoma, head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, myeloma, thyroid cancer, and ovarian cancer also supports the usage of these scanners.
The market for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners is predicted to be worth US$ 1,107.6 million in 2019 and US$ 1,549.7 million by the end of 2027.
