Brazil Diagnostic Imaging Market Dynamics and Trends

The increase in the Cancer patient population in Brazil drives market growth.

In Brazil, cancer is the second most common cause of death after cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases. According to a World Health Organization report published in 2020, there were approximately 5,92,212 new cancer cases in Brazil, 300,114 in men, and 292,098 in women. The most incident types of cancer are prostate, lung, colon, and rectum. Various diagnostic imaging tests are carried out in laboratories or hospitals to diagnose these cancers. Diagnostic imaging is very important to the detection and primary treatment of cancer patients, owing to the growth in the diagnostic imaging market.

Moreover, technological advancement and increasing incidents of chronic disease are the prime factors boosting the growth of the diagnostic imaging market. The emerging AI-based digital X-ray systems are also expected to provide a wide range of growth opportunities for players over the forecast period. Artificial Intelligence has many applications in managing patient information related to the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Artificial Intelligence helps physicians to incorporate the information into meaningful disease diagnosis and patient care. AI not only diagnoses patients without doctors but also augments doctors' abilities and finds and collates relevant data for patient care. In March 2021, Researchers found a new technique diagnostic tool for detecting Covid 19 in which X-rays combined with Artificial Intelligence.

However, the shortage of trained radiologists and the high cost of the diagnostic imaging system hamper the market in the forecast period.

Brazil Diagnostic Imaging Market Segmentation

The X-ray segment is projected to be the dominant segment in the market during the forecast period.

The global diagnostic imaging market can be segmented by type as X-Ray, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, Tomography, Photoacoustic Imaging, Thermography, Echocardiography, Elastography, and Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy.

X-ray is a quick, painless test that produces images of structure inside the body. X-ray beams pass through the body and are absorbed in different amounts depending on the material's density. An X-ray is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. The X-ray segment holds the most significant share of the diagnostic imaging market at more than 20%, owing to the versatility of the system and its convenience in use. Technological advancement and increasing incidents of chronic disease are the prime factors boosting the growth of this segment. The Brazil X-ray market growth is driven by several factors, such as the increasing geriatric population and the subsequent growth in orthopedic diseases and cancer incidence, favorable government initiatives & investments, the advantages of digital X-ray systems over conventional X-rays, and technological advancements and product development.

Brazil Diagnostic Imaging Market Geographical Analysis

Brazil is the dominating region during the forecast period.

The Brazil X-ray market is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The presence of major key players in south Brazil helps grow the X-ray market. Southern Brazil includes Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. It is the country's richest region, responsible for approximately 60% of the Brazilian GDP, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais are the three richest states of Brazil, the top three Brazilian states in terms of GDP. In Brazil, breast cancer represents almost 30 percent of all types of cancer, with approximately 40 percent of patients only diagnosed in the advanced stages. Screening is widely used to detect cancers early when they can treat effectively. In February 2022, Ikea charts Amazon waters, boosting access to life-saving cancer screening. Women living in Amazon River communities now have increased access to breast cancer screening along even its most remote banks due to the installation of two mammography units on Brazil Ship Navy. Each ship can perform thousands of screening tests per year.
