DUBLIN, Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Contrast Agents/Media Global Market - Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The contrast agent global market expected to reach $6,879.0 million by 2025

The increase in diagnostic imaging procedures and interventional imaging procedures, increase in incidence and prevalence of disease conditions, increasing in aging population, expansion in indications of contrast media, growth of medical imaging technologies in emerging market, increasing research activities for contrast agents, and favourable reimbursements are driving the market growth. However, adverse effects related to contrast agents and shortage of radiologists is restraining the market growth. Stringent regulations and availability of alternative products are hampering the market expansion.

The contrast agent global market by molecule is segmented into Iodine based [Ionic (Monomeric and Dimeric), Non-Ionic (Monomeric and Dimeric)], Gadolinium-based contrast agents [Macrocyclic (Ionic and Non-Ionic), Linear (Ionic and Non-Ionic)], microbubble-based contrast agent and others which include Barium, iron and dyes. Iodine-based contrast agent market held the largest market share in 2018 and microbubble segment is growing at high double digit CAGR from 2018 to 2025 due to expansion in disease indications.

Innovations in contrast agents are taking place in the areas of packaging, the development of bulk, multi-dose containers, and polymer containers. For instance, FDA approved Isovue (iopamidol injection) Imaging Bulk Package (IBP) (developed by Bracco) which is a specific combination multi-patient, multi-dose compliant contrast medium for point-of-care use in the computed tomography (CT) suite. Increase in research activities for contrast which is supported by funding from different institutes.

For instance, Ferric Contrast Company received $225,000 for a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) fund in 2017 in for developing iron-based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is an alternative to the Gadolinium complexes that have traditionally been employed in MRI. Likewise, Inlighta Biosciences LLC received a $2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute in 2017 for development of an improved MRI contrast agent, i.e. ProCA32, a next-generation MRI contrast agents that could be utilized for early detection of primary and metastasized liver cancers.

The research is done through collaboration between Inlighta Biosciences, Georgia State University, and Emory University. The funding is used in validation of ProCA32 and used for toxicology a study which is required to support an application to the FDA for human clinical trials.
