The global bone densitometer market size reached US$ 307.6 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 457.1 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% during 2024-2032.
A bone densitometer, also known as a DXA machine, refers to a device that utilizes a minimal dose of ionizing radiation to measure bone loss and the amount of calcium and other minerals in a bone segment. There are two types of DXA equipment, namely central and peripheral devices. The central devices are used to measure the bone density of the hip and spine, and are usually flat and broad, with an arm overhead. On the other hand, peripheral devices are smaller in size and are mainly used to check bone density in wrists, heels, or fingers. It is the standardized method of diagnosing osteoporosis, as it requires no special preparations and a relatively shorter duration than other procedures. It is also used for assessing an individual's risk for developing osteoporotic fractures.
One of the major drivers of the bone densitometer market is the rise in geriatric population who are highly susceptible to bone-related ailments. This, along with the growing incidents of fragility fracture, is significantly contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, these devices are crucial in diagnosing osteoporosis and osteopenia, owing to which they are widely utilized for bone density testing in several hospitals and healthcare clinics. Other factors, such as advancements in DXA scanners, which have enabled quicker and more accurate diagnosis, along with increasing investments to improve the existing healthcare infrastructure, are expected to further create a positive outlook for the market.
