Increasing geriatric population
and increasing medical tourism for orthopedic treatment in certain regions such
as Asia Pacific are the major factors expected to fuel growth of the bone
densitometers market over the forecast period.
Regional segmentation of the Bone
Densitometers Market by Coherent Market Insights comprises North America,
Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America is
estimated to be the fastest growing region in the global bone densitometers
market. This is mainly due to relatively better healthcare infrastructure,
providing good medical facilities and treatment. Major players are focusing on
introduction of novel technologies to cater to large patient base of
osteoporosis. For instance, Hitachi Aloka introduced EggQus, a compact and
portable ultrasound bone densitometry system in 2015. Also, in May 2015, Lone
Oak Medical Technologies, LLC received authorization from Health Canada for its
product accudxa2, a device designed for treatment and diagnosis of bone-related
disorders. Asia Pacific market is expected to witness the highest growth rate
over the forecast period, owing to improving healthcare facilities in countries
in the region. For instance, in 2013, private health expenditure as % of GDP
was 66.9% and 44.0% for India and China respectively according to the World
Data Bank. Moreover, regional players are providing low cost products, which in
turn, increases its accessibility for middle income group. Asia Pacific region
is expected to attract medical tourists for orthopedic treatment, especially in
emerging economies in the region such as India. For instance, according to
Directorate-General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics of India, in
2015, Indian hospitals had 460,000 international patients for various
treatments.

Bone densitometer is a medical
device that measures bone density and monitors the mineral content of the bone.
Bone density test determines decrease in bone density, risks of possible bone
fractures, risk of osteoporosis, and monitors effective treatment.
Bone densitometer consists
detectors, phantoms, X-ray tubes, and power supplies. Central devices and
peripheral devices are used to test bone density at different parts of the
body. Central device examines density of spinal and hip bones; however,
peripheral devices test bone density in wrists, fingers or heel, among other
peripheral bones. Osteoporosis causes weakening and thinning of bones, which in
turn, leads to potential bone injuries. Therefore, bone densitometers can be
used for early detection.
Rising prevalence of osteoporosis
in geriatric population is expected to fuel growth of the bone densitometers
market
According to International
Osteoporosis Foundation, over 8.9 million fractures are caused due to
osteoporosis, annually. Furthermore, around 200 million postmenopausal women
suffer from osteoporosis, globally. According to Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), in 2016, around 25% women aged 65 and above were
suffering from osteoporosis of the femur neck or lumbar spine and needed
treatment, in turn fueling growth of the bone densitometers market.

According to Osteoporosis Canada,
osteoporosis causes 70–90% of 30,000 hip fractures annually. Moreover, in 2012,
treatment of osteoporosis was valued at around US$ 3.9 billion in Canada.
Moreover, factors such as sedentary lifestyle, smoking, drinking, and unhealthy
dietary habits may lead to osteoporosis. This in turn, increases demand for
bone densitometers to diagnose disease, fuelling growth of the market.
Key players operating in the global

Key players operating in the
global bone densitometers market include Hologic, Inc., GE Healthcare,
Echolight, DMS Imaging, Swissray, Medonica Co. Ltd., Medilink, Lone Oak Medical
Technologies LLC, Hitachi Ltd., and BMTech. In 2016, Hologic Inc., announced
the results of a survey conducted on osteoporosis, to raise awareness of this
condition and promote efficient risk assessment.
