Contrast Media/Contrast Agent Market- Global Industry Insights 2017 - 2025

Contrast media or contrast agent is used in medical imaging to enhance the image of body parts generated through X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound. These substances are momentarily used to change the way imaging tools or x-rays interact with the body. Contrast media or contrast agent help the physicians to diagnose the medical conditions by improving the visibility of blood vessels or tissues and specific organs. These substances are added into the body prior to an imaging scan to help distinguish certain structures or tissues of interest from the surrounding tissue. Contrast media or contrast agent can be administered into the body in one of the four ways which include by enema (given rectally), orally, urethral, and by injecting into a blood vessel.

Rise in the gas micro bubble technology in MRI imaging is expected to boost the growth of contrast media/contrast agent market

The major factors driving the growth of contrast Media/contrast agent are the use of advanced technology such as gas micro bubble technology in MRI imaging, rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cardiac diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and cancer. Advancements in medical imaging technology and increasing demand for image guided procedures and diagnostics is fueling the growth of the market. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2012, an estimated 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million cancer deaths were recorded worldwide and by 2030 the number is expected to escalate to 21.7 million for new cancer cases and 13 million cancer deaths. However, side effects of contrast agents such as kidney diseases and high cost associated with the contrast media injectors are some of the factors that are hindering the growth of contrast media/ contrast agent market.

The approval and launch of innovative agents with safety profile is expected to fuel the growth of contrast media market. For instance, in 2016, FDA approved Gadavist (gadobutrol) injection manufactured by Bayer AG for use with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to evaluate renal artery disease use in adult and pediatric patients. Also, in May 2017, the FDA expanded indication for GE Healthcare’s Visipaque (iodixanol) for use in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for diagnostic evaluation of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age or older with suspected coronary artery disease.
