The global preclinical imaging market size was valued at USD 1.05 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 1.63 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2026 to 2033. This growth is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing investments in drug development, and growing demand for non-invasive imaging techniques.
The adoption of advanced imaging modalities for early-stage research, coupled with the expansion of translational research initiatives, further accelerates market expansion.
Government initiatives, including grants and funding from organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and similar agencies in Europe and Asia, are significantly enhancing preclinical research and bolstering the preclinical imaging market. For example, in September 2022, the NIH and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) called for applications for milestone-driven preclinical vaccine development targeting Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), Salmonella Paratyphi A, and Shigella species.
The program supported vaccine optimization, scale-up, safety, and efficacy testing, offering up to USD 750,000 annually over five years to help candidates reach clinical readiness. Eligible applicants included academic institutions, nonprofits, governments, and businesses. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) planned to award USD 5.2 million across 4-6 projects to advance candidates toward FDA IND submission. This influx of funding allows researchers to invest in advanced platforms, develop new probes, and expand longitudinal studies, increasing demand in the preclinical in-vivo imaging market and supporting growth in segments like optical preclinical imaging.
