Bone Density Test Market By Type (Central Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA), Radiographic Absorptiometry), Indication (Osteoporosis, Hyperthyroidism,), Device (Central DEXA Scan Machine), End User (Hospitals) - Global Forecast Till 2023
Recognizing the exponential growth, the market perceives currently and gauging the potential the market holds to grow in the years to come. Recent technological advancements and bone density test market trends have boosted the Bone Density Test market growth, increasing the uptake of bone density test. Besides, increasing prevalence of osteoporosis, osteopenia, hyperthyroidism, and increasing demand for portable bone testing devices foster the market growth. Moreover, the demand for diagnosis and treatment measures for osteoporosis escalates the market growth of the bone density test on the global platform.
Market Research Future (MRFR), in its recently published market forecast asserts that the global bone density test market will grow exponentially by 2023, registering approximately 7.2% CAGR during the review period (2017 – 2023).
Additional factors substantiating the market growth include the demand for technologically advanced devices and growing geriatric populace. Also, substantial technological strides being made in electronic monitoring devices and substantial investments transpired into R&D activities are in turn, paying off well, expanding the market size.
Bone density test provides more of a high-level overview and in-depth details on more specific aspects of bone health alongside indicating current and potential health risks such as Low bone mineral density, Osteoporosis, and Hyperthyroidism. A stress fracture or other bone issue is often the initial reason that can cause impaired bone health and can affect bone density in the future. All these factors indicate that a bone is not as strong as normal bone and places that are at risk for stress fractures or other broken bones.
Furthermore, the ever-increasing population that is increasingly adopting the sedentary lifestyle and urbanization are supporting the market growth. Improving economic conditions are providing impetus to the market growth, increasing the healthcare expenditures and availing rapid access to the excellent health care.
On the other hand, limited or no awareness of the advantages of bone density test is impeding the market growth. Also, the unmet clinical needs coupled with the unavailability of external funding are acting as a headwind to the market growth, especially in the developing regions. Nevertheless, increasing demand for portable and hand-held diagnostic devices alongside the augmenting demand for the bone density test in the diagnostics to obtain fastest & accurate results is expected to fuel the market growth.
