The neuroimaging market size is expected to reach US$ 56.58 Billion by 2030, from US$ 37.63 Billion in 2023, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during the forecast period.
Neuroimaging is the use of medical imaging techniques to study the structure and function of the brain and nervous system. It is used to diagnose and treat a variety of neurological disorders, including Alzheimers disease, stroke, and brain tumors. Increasing incidence of neurological disorders is a major driver of the neuroimaging market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 estimates, neurological disorders affect 1 in every 6 people worldwide. The aging population is also a major factor driving the growth of the market, as neurological disorders are more common in older adults. Growing demand for personalized medicine is another major driver of the neuroimaging market. Personalized medicine is a field of medicine that tailors treatment to the individual patient. Neuroimaging can be used to identify the specific changes in the brain that are associated with a particular disease. This information can then be used to develop personalized treatment plans.
