Radiopharmaceuticals in PET Imaging Market Size is valued at USD 1.56 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 3.02 Bn by the year 2034 at a 7.1% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
In medical imaging, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) has emerged as a key technique for the diagnosis and treatment of a number of illnesses, most notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular ailments. Radiopharmaceuticals, which are radioactive substances used as tracers to see biological processes in vivo, are essential to the success of PET imaging. The market for these goods is expanding quickly because of developments in PET technology and the creation of novel radiopharmaceuticals.
The growing need for early illness detection, especially for cancer and neurological disorders, is fueling the global market for radiopharmaceuticals in PET imaging. Radiopharmaceuticals aid in tumour detection, therapy effectiveness monitoring, and organ metabolic function evaluation. The market for radiopharmaceuticals in PET imaging is poised for substantial development due to ongoing technical advancements, rising healthcare spending, and growing precision medicine applications.
In addition, to visualize brain activity and identify neurological conditions, including epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease, radiopharmaceuticals are crucial. The radiopharmaceuticals in the PET imaging market is expanding because of the growing need for neurological PET imaging and the ageing population.
The Radiopharmaceuticals in PET Imaging market is segmented based on Radioisotope Type, Application, and End-user. Based on radioisotope type, the market is segmented into F-18 (F-18 FDG, F-18 Fiorbetapir, F-18 Fiobetaben, F-18 Sodium Fluoride, and Others), Rb-82, G-68, and Other PET Isotopes. The applicaiton segment comprises Oncology (Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, Others), Cardiology, Neurology (Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Others), and Others. By end-user, the segmentation includes Hospitals and Clinics, Medical Imaging Centers, and Other End-users.
The F-18 Sodium Fluoride category is expected to hold a major global market share in 2021 driven by its growing use in cancer and bone scanning applications. When compared to traditional technetium-based bone scans, F-18 NaF is a highly effective PET radiotracer for detecting bone metastases, providing better imaging quality and faster uptake. The market for F-18 NaF has increased as a result of the increased demand for more accurate diagnostic tools brought on by the rising incidence of cancer, especially breast and prostate cancer. Developments in technology and growing provider awareness of the advantages of early and precise bone disease detection are also accelerating PET/CT use.
The increasing global existance of cancer and the growing need for accurate and early tumour identification are driving the expansion of the oncology sector in the market for radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging. F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and F-18 Sodium Fluoride (NaF) are two examples of PET radiopharmaceuticals that are essential for cancer diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, and therapy response monitoring. Technological developments have significantly improved the precision and therapeutic usefulness of PET imaging in oncology in hybrid imaging systems.
The North American Radiopharmaceuticals in PET Imaging market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. In North America, cancer and neurological conditions, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other dementias, are becoming more common. In neurology and cancer, PET imaging is an essential tool, especially for continuing monitoring, therapy planning, and early discovery. This tendency is anticipated to continue as the population ages, increasing the need for radiopharmaceuticals in PET. In addition, Europe is projected to grow rapidly in the global Radiopharmaceuticals in PET Imaging market.
