Contrast Media Injection Sets Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

The contrast media injection sets market is expected to register a CAGR of approx. 5% over the period of 2022-2028. Contrast media administration sets, or injection sets are made to regulate the number of contrast agents that are actually supplied to an administration system (such as an injector) in order to prevent waste and regulate the total amount of contrast agents used for a single procedure. When performing various imaging tests like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), radiography, and occasionally ultrasound imaging, contrast media are used to increase the contrast of bodily fluids for better imaging. With the aid of contrast media, blood vessels can be seen, allowing for the examination of the spine, kidneys, and internal organs of the brain. Contrast media aids in the differentiation of different body parts with similar compositions, and thus, contrast media. The growing demand for contrast media injection sets can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of cancer across the globe. For instance, according to the World Health Organization, Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020, or nearly one in six deaths. In 2021, there will be an estimated 1.9 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 608,570 cancer deaths in the United States. Owing to the glaring statistics the rising prevalence of cancer leads to higher demand for contrast media injection which boosts the demand for contrast media injection sets across the globe and would contribute to the growth of the market in the forthcoming period as well. Furthermore, the contrast media injection sets market is anticipated to grow on account of the increasing number of diagnostic procedures. In addition, increasing usage of nuclear imaging tests for the diagnosis of various conditions related to the heart, lungs, bones, brain, and other systems drives the market growth. However, some of the restraints in the market including the high cost of injection sets and lack of trained professionals are impeding the growth of this market all over the world.

Based on the product, the contrast media injection sets market is segmented into contrast media injection sets with a bore vented tubing, contrast media injection sets with a vented bifurcated standard bore, contrast media injection sets with a vented pressurized spike, and others. The contrast media injection sets with a bore vented tubing segment accounted for a significant market share and it is estimated that it will grow rapidly during the projected timeframe. Professionals frequently use these products because they are simple to use and more widely available than other product categories.

Based on the end-user, the market is fragmented into hospitals, cancer research institutes, diagnostic imaging centers, and others. The diagnostic imaging centers segment grabbed a considerable market share, and it is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Increased procedure volume, combined with patient convenience, and a lack of imaging modalities in small and medium-sized hospitals are boosting segment growth. In order to improve ease of use and create products that can help control the waste of contrast agents, manufacturers of contrast media injection sets are concentrating on creating more innovative sets.

For a better understanding of the market adoption of the contrast media injection sets, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, U.K., and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Australia, and Rest of APAC), and Rest of World. North America constitutes a major market for the contrast media injection sets industry owing to increased nuclear imaging procedures and the availability of high-end products. Moreover, the presence of well-established healthcare facilities, growing advanced technologies, as well as rising healthcare spending boost the market growth in this region.
