Near Infrared Imaging Market– Statistics And Analysis & Forecast To 2026

Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on March 24th, 2021

The global near infrared imaging market size is expected to reach USD 373.7 million by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. expanding at a 4.1% CAGR during the forecast period. The growing use of near-infrared imaging due to advantages such as minimally invasiveness and high efficiency in diagnosing various conditions is anticipated to drive the near-infrared imaging market significantly during the forecast period.

With Covid-19 infections rising globally, the apprehension regarding a shortage of essential life-saving devices and other essential medical supplies in order to prevent the spread of this pandemic and provide optimum care to the infected also widens. In addition, till a pharmacological treatment is developed, ventilators act as a vital treatment preference for the COVID-19 patients, who may require critical care. Moreover, there is an urgent need for a rapid acceleration in the manufacturing process for a wide range of test-kits (antibody tests, self-administered, and others). The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Growing incidences of chronic disorders, especially among the geriatric population is fueling the near infrared imaging market. Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, arthritis, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes, are some of the commonly prevalent diseases that require near infrared imaging for better diagnosis and further decision making for effective treatment.

Expanding applications of the NIR technique in early diagnosis of various neurological conditions is expected to play a significant role in overall market growth. As per National Research University’s Higher School of Economics, neurological disorders are one of the leading causes of disability and death today. They were reported as the leading cause group of Disability Adjusted Life Years, which comprised 16.8% global deaths.

Frequent introduction of technologically advanced systems is expected to have a significant impact on market growth. NIR is preferred as a process monitoring tool, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Expanding applications of NIR in commercial operations and research activities in biopharmaceutical companies, as well as academic institutes, are expected to fuel the demand for advanced NIR systems in upcoming years.

Near Infrared Imaging Market Report Highlights

  • By product, reagents segment dominated the market in 2018 owing to the development of novel reagents to identify various types of cancer
  • The reagents segment is expected to grow considerably in the future owing to benefits offered by Indocyanine green (ICG), such as real-time angiographic images during brain tumor or vascular surgery
  • Cancer surgeries segment is expected to grow considerably in the near future owing to the high prevalence of the disorder, especially in the emerging economies
  • Hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market owing to the increase in the number of admissions of cancer patients in clinics and hospitals
  • The players profiled in the near infrared imaging market are Shimadzu Corporation  KARL STORZ SE & Co. KG, Stryker, Leica Microsystems, Olympus, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Fluoptics, Quest Medical Imaging B.V., Mizuho Medical Co, Ltd.,  Hamamatsu Photonics K.KVisionsense, PerkinElmer, Inc., LI-COR, Inc., and SurgVision.

Advantages provided by the NIR technique including minimal invasiveness and deep tissue imaging using the non-non-ionizing method are expected to strengthen its applications in operating rooms as well as emergency departments. NIR integrated with nanoparticle (NP) based NIR contrast agent offers resistance to rapid photo-bleaching and is stable to the organic counterparts. These advantages are expected to broaden the applications of near-infrared imaging with nanoparticles.

Growing advancements in small-molecule near-IR probe domain for bioimaging is expected to enhance its usage in bioimaging. The advent of new contrast agents has amplified the potential of NIR bioimaging for real-time vascular visualization and deep tissue diagnostics for ongoing surgical assistance. The development of new NIR contrast agents has aided the bioimaging of numerous targets with advantages, such as low cytotoxicity, structural tunability, and good cell permeability.

Near-infrared imaging has a wide range of applications including physiological diagnostics and study of pulse oximetry, blood sugar, sports medicine, urology, and neurology. Besides, there are more than 250 clinical trials to explore potential applications of this technique in other applications. Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease with the help of non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy is expected to have a significant impact on the usage of the NIR technique in neurology. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is integrated with optical imaging technology and is increasingly used in the neuroimaging domain.
