• The rising investments in the technological development of healthcare equipment and devices drive the growth of the market. 
• The rising population and the increasing prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles cause severe issues in the people that drive the growth of the market.
• The rising prevalence of cancer and other chronic diseases that need to be detected and diagnosed early has led to a higher demand for the interventional radiology market.

Interventional Radiology Market Scope

Interventional Radiology Market Dynamics

Driver: Rising prevalence of chronic diseases

The rising global population, geriatric population, rising healthcare infrastructure, and the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other severe diseases demand early detection and diagnosis with minimally invasive treatment that drives the demand for the interventional radiology market. The rising number of cancer diseases globally is positively influencing the demand for interventional radiology. It helps in the treatment of cancer in several ways. It directly treats the disease by preventing bleeding during surgeries, providing pain relief, and reducing the side effects of cancer treatment. Interventional radiology is directly used in cancer cells and in cancer-killing therapies like chemotherapy and radioactive medicine in tumors and cancer cells. Thus, the rising cases of cancer and the demand for effective and minimal treatment procedures have contributed to the growth of the interventional radiology market.

• According to the World Health Organization, chronic diseases are responsible for 41 million deaths every year, which is equivalent to 74% of all deaths that occur worldwide. Among all the chronic diseases, cardiovascular diseases kill 17.9 million people, followed by 9.3 million deaths due to cancer, 4.1 million deaths due to chronic respiratory diseases, and 2.0 million deaths due to diabetes. Out of all deaths, 77% occur in low and middle-income countries.

Restraint: High cost

The increased cost associated with the products due to the integration of smart technologies is limiting the expansion of the interventional radiology market. The high cost of radiology is due to various reasons, including the use of advanced systems like CT and MRI machines. Radiology reading services, insurer reimbursement rules, healthcare system costs, and the type of patient care determine the further costs associated with interventional radiology. Cost reduction from the hospital end can be done by purchasing alternative equipment at low prices, purchasing in bulk, reducing the use of films, and altering the patterns of some supplies. This will help in reducing the charges applied to patients.

Opportunity: Technological advancements

The evaluation of the technologies associated with the healthcare industry and the increasing adoption of the technologies for detection and diagnosis with minimal treatment drive the expansion of the market. Technological innovations in interventional radiology include multimodality image fusion guided procedures, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and preoperative imaging to improve the efficiency of the procedures. The rising investment in the technologies of interventional radiology by the major market players and the rising participation of new start-ups for technological evaluation drive the growth of the interventional radiology market. The integration of technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality in the treatment is further propelling the growth of the market in the forecast period.

• For instance, in April 2024, Bayer, a healthcare company, asked Google to collaborate to incorporate AI and cloud capabilities for building new tech products that will provide assistance to radiologists. Bayer will use its clinical data handling expertise, radiology, healthcare regulator, and other expertise in this collaboration.

Product Insights

The ultrasound imaging systems segment dominated the market with the highest market growth in 2023. The rising adoption of ultrasound interventional radiology by major healthcare facilities for the treatment and detection of several diseases is driving the demand for ultrasound imaging systems. The ultrasound imaging system is one of the important parts in the interventional radiology procedures. The ultrasound imaging system includes procedures like thoracentesis (fluid drainage around the lungs), drainage of Baker’s cysts and abscesses, paracentesis (fluid drainage from the abdominal cavity), and the placement of PICC lines. It is also used in procedures like hysterosonography and amniocentesis. Ultrasound imaging system is a cost-effective alternative to MRI magnetic resonance imaging with accurate guidance. It does not involve radiation exposure, which is safer for patients. Thus, all these properties are propelling the demand for the ultrasound imaging system.

• For instance, in February 2024, FUJIFILM India launched the ALOKA ARIETTA 850, the most advanced Endoscopic Ultrasound Machine. The machine can develop superior-quality images and provide a better user interface than conventional machines.

Application Insights

The cardiology segment dominated the interventional radiology market in 2023. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common diseases that occur, and they are responsible for the highest number of deaths. Physical inactivity, tobacco consumption, alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, occupational hazards, and pollution are the major causes of CVDs.  Heart diseases, heart attacks, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and heart valve problems are all CVDs that need radiology for monitoring.

• According to research, the number of 17.9 million deaths annually will rise to 24 million by 2030. Globally, the financial expense of CVDs was around US$ 863 billion in 2010, which will rise by 22% by 2030, which is equivalent to US$ 1044 billion.

The oncology segment is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising prevalence of cancer globally drives the demand for oncology interventional radiology treatment. Interventional radiology in cancer treatment is also known as interventional oncology. In interventional oncology, the radiologist uses imaging like computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, and ultrasound to deliver cancer therapies directly to the cancer cells or tumors that are leaving the healthy, untouched tissues. Interventional oncology involved no anesthesia, faster recovery, and minimal discomfort. Oncology intervention is a treatment with higher efficiency that can kill cancer tumors, relieve the pain of the treatment, and extend the life of the patients. Thus, the higher prevalence of cancer globally drives the demand for the interventional oncology segment.
