Technetium-99m Market - MEA Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 - 2024
NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Technetium-99m is a medical radioisotope and used in gamma camera and SPECT for body imaging. SPECT is a highly sensitive technique to detect the parathyroid adenomas in the human body. It uses gamma camera for imaging purposes. Gamma camera is available separately for bone marrow and cardiac imaging, and is known as planar camera. Technetium-99m is widely used in hospitals and diagnostic centers and in some research institutes for diagnostic purposes. Rising number of cancer patients and cardiovascular ailments are expected to underpin the technetium-99m market. Technetium-99m is the preferred radioisotope for medical imaging due to its short half-life and appropriate energy emission for perfect image. It is generated by source named molybdenum, which is an abundantly present on earth. However, the process of producing its daughter isotope is a rigorous task it represents a high value in terms of availability. Technetium-99m can be produced by molybdenum-99 and molybdenum-100 but the both sources are utilized by two different manufacturing process i.e. from nuclear reactor on a large scale and from cyclotron & accelerator on a small scale governed by any hospital facility. An injection of technetium-99m is combined with albumin and administered to the patient for scanning lungs, for brain scanning it is aggregated with hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime and for detecting the cancerous breast masses it is combined with methoxyisonitrile (MIBI). Technetium-99m market in MEA region is expected to expand at a significant CAGR over the forecast period representing high incremental opportunity.

Pricing and cost teardown analysis holds a crucial part of the report, which further describes the cost to end-user and cost to patient.
The market is driven by changing prevalence of diseases and rising affluence. The market is projected to grow due to increasing investment in healthcare sector. Technetium-99m being produced on large scale by the nuclear reactors are expected to be limited in future due to ageing of the major technetium-99m producing reactors around the world. In terms of end-user hospital segment projected to expand at a high CAGR on the backdrop of growing investment and funding from U.A.E. The diagnostic center and cardiac care center are expected to expand at a high CAGR over the forecast period. The isotopic application segment forms the base of the market estimation as it is purely based on the installed base of the machines and number of procedures performed per year for medical imaging in the region.
Geographically, the MEA technetium-99m market has been segmented into 21 countries with Turkey leading the market in 2015 followed by Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The applications of technetium-99m are rapidly growing in Turkey due to increasing direct and indirect investments by the U.A.E Government and other private companies. Increasing investments and penetration by key market players in MEA are likely to drive the technetium-99m market during the forecast period.
General Electric Company, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd., Siemens Healthineers, Advanced Cyclotron Systems, Inc., and IBA are the key players operating in the MEA technetium-99m market.
