Increased use of digital mammography equipment, advances in technology, and increased public awareness of the modality's benefits are driving the U.S. mammography market to future growth.
A new study from U.K. market research firm GlobalData valued the U.S. mammography market at $457.2 million in 2008. The report also forecasted annual growth of 3.6% between 2008 and 2015, with the U.S. market reaching $584.8 million in the next six years.
The report credited low-dosage features of digital mammography equipment and "highly efficient" digital technology for propelling market growth.
The full-field digital mammography equipment segment is the largest revenue-generating segment in the U.S. mammography equipment market, accounting for more than 95% of all mammography equipment revenue in 2008, the report said.
