According to a market report published by Lucintel, the future of the optical imaging market looks promising with opportunities in the hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research laboratories. The optical imaging market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 12% from 2019 to 2024. The major growth drivers for this market are increasing prevalence of ophthalmological disorders, rise of noninvasive technologies, widening application areas of optical imaging technology, and growing need to minimize the use of radiation technologies.
Optical imaging is the technique for taking images of the internal body parts non-invasively. Visible light and photons are used to take the detailed image of internal organs and tissues. In this market, optical coherence tomography (OCT), hyperspectral imaging (HSI), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), photoacoustic tomography (PAT) are the major techniques. OCT is the largest market.
North America is expected to be the largest market over the forecast period due to high adoption rate of optical imaging devices and significant rise in technologies which made a positive impact in this region.
St. Jude Medical, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Bioptigen, Topcon, Canon, Headwall Photonics, Optovue, Perkinelmer, Koninklijke Philips and Agfa Healthcare are among the major manufacturers in the optical imaging market.
