M2 - Thu Jan 16, 5:20AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pq3pxr/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Mammography Equipment Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Mammography Equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 9.84 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing incidence of breast cancer. The Global Mammography Equipment Market 2014-2018 has also been witnessing the growing use of 3D mammography. However, the high cost of mammography equipment could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are FUJIFILM Holdings Corp., GE Healthcare, Hologic Inc., Phillips Healthcare, and Siemens Healthcare. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Carestream Health Inc., Internazionale Medico Scientifica Srl, PerkinElmer Inc., Planmed Oy and Toshiba Medical Systems Corp. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: With technological advancements, there has been an increase in the use of 3D mammography globally in recent years. The 3D mammography system is considered to be 7 percent more accurate compared to the traditional 2D mammography system. The 3D mammography system is currently available for commercial use in Latin America, Europe, and Asia. There is currently only one product available though, which is Selenia Dimensions 3D tomosynthesis offered by Hologic Inc. It was approved for sale in the US by the FDA on February 11, 2011 and has generated the maximum revenue for Hologic Inc. in the US. The introduction of new generation mammography equipment has enhanced the efficiency of breast cancer surgeries and treatments. 3D mammography removes overlapping tissue artifacts, especially in dense breasts and offers better screening sensitivity. Thus, the growing use of 3D mammography is expected to drive growth in the Global Mammography Equipment market. According to the report, the Global Mammography Equipment market is driven by several factors. One of the main drivers in this market is the increasing incidence of breast cancer among women which has led to an increase in the demand for mammography equipment for the accurate diagnosis of breast cancer.
