Market Dynamics
Increasing incidences of cancer
and neurological diseases that demand imaging techniques for their diagnosis
are expected to foster growth of Near
Infrared Medical Imaging Market. For instance, according to the World
Cancer Research Fund International, breast cancer was reported to be the most
common type of cancer detected in females with nearly 1.7 million new cases
diagnosed in 2012. The data also suggests that this number is expected to
increase by 2020 across the globe. Moreover, increasing prevalence of
neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, dementia, and
other diseases are also driving growth of global near infrared medical imaging
market. According to the World Health Organization 2016, hundreds of millions
of people are affected worldwide due to neurological disorders. The data
suggests that over 50 million people across the globe suffer from epilepsy,
whereas around 47.5 million people are suffering from dementia and around 7.7
million new cases are reported every year. However, high penetration of
alternative medical imaging techniques in the market is expected to hinder the
market growth over the forecast period.
Near infrared medical imaging,
also known as near infrared spectroscopy, uses near infrared light waves of
wavelength between 650 to 950 nm to non-invasively probe the oxygenation and
concentration of hemoglobin in the muscles, brain, and other tissues. The near
infrared diagnostic imaging modality is advantageous over various other
existing radio-imaging techniques due to its non-invasive nature that
facilitates repeated usage of this technique on the patient without any side
effects and harm. Moreover, specific absorption by natural chromophores allows
to obtain functional information of the patient such as the concentration of
oxy-hemoglobin within particular tissues. A variety of possible clinical
applications are focused in near infrared (NIR) medical imaging research and
most importantly, highlights development of a technique for screening of breast
cancer. Moreover, near infrared imaging is advantageous in terms of portability
and cost-effectiveness. This technique involves use of incoherent light source
that is typically safer than that of the strong invasive lasers used in the
invasive imaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), positron
emission tomography (PET), and others. Furthermore, the near infrared imaging
allows considerable motion to the patient undergoing the test, which again
serves as an advantage when compared to the other existing alternatives.

Regional Insights
On the basis of region, the
global near infrared medical imaging market is segmented into North America,
Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America
holds a dominant position in the global near infrared medical imaging market
and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period, owing to
large population suffering from breast cancer and other neurological diseases.
According to the American Cancer Society, invasive breast cancer was diagnosed
in around 231,840 patients in the U.S. in 2015. Furthermore, key players in the
market are introducing novel products, which is expected to aid in growth of
the market in the region. For instance, in April 2017, Leica Microsystems
introduced augmented reality near infrared fluorescence integrated imaging
system GLOW800 at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)
Annual Scientific Meeting that facilitates full visual spectrum of white light
into a single, real-time image. Asia Pacific is expected to witness a significant
growth in the market, owing to increasing investments by international players
by collaborating with regional players in the market. For instance, in June
2012, Infradex, Inc., a medical device company signed an exclusive agreement
with Nipro Corporation for the distribution of TVC near infrared spectroscopy
imaging system in Japan.
Competitive Landscape
Key players operating in the
global near infrared medical imaging market include Bruker Corporation, Carl
Zeiss Meditec AG, Shimadzu Corporation, PerkinElmer, Inc., MIZUHO Corporation,
Karl Storz GmbH, and NOADAQ Technologies, Inc. among others. Market players are
focused on providing technologically advanced products to sustain their
position in the competitive market.

For instance, in April 2018,
Shimadzu Corporation introduced new LIGHTVISION near-infrared fluorescence
imaging system for visualizing lymph nodes and blood vessels for the diagnosis
and treatment of breast cancer.
Key Developments in Near Infrared
Medical Imaging Market
In April 2018, Shimadzu
Corporation launched its new LIGHTVISION near-infrared fluorescence imaging
system. The system is designed to support breast cancer treatment through the
visualization of lymph vessels and blood vessels based on the detection of
near-infrared fluorescent light emitted from indocyanine green (ICG). With this
launch, the company entered into medical near-infrared camera market.
In December 2018, KARL STORZ
Endoscopy-America, Inc., a manufacturer of endoscopy, imaging and operating
room integration solutions, launched NIR/ICG Fluorescence Imaging, an IMAGE1 S
technology. It is a 4 mm Endoscopic NIR/ICG Fluorescence Imaging System,
designed to enhance minimally invasive neurosurgery.
In August 2019, Stryker launched
Fluorescence Imaging (FI) technology, Spy-Phi, for mapping of lymphatics,
identification of lymph nodes and confirming adequate tissue perfusion for safe
breast reconstruction. New technology uses near infrared technology and
indocyanine green (ICG) dye
