The global bone densitometer market was valued at USD 0.4 billion in 2024, driven by increasing prevalence of osteoporosis across the globe. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.38% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, with the values likely to reach USD 0.7 billion by 2034.
Bone densitometers are diagnostic medical devices tailored for assessing bone mineral density (BMD) in the human body. It is widely applied in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia. With an estimated 8.9 million fractures annually worldwide due to osteoporosis, impacting around 500 million individuals, the demand for bone densitometers is expected to witness significant growth in the forecast period. Predictions suggest a substantial increase in hip fractures by 2050, with a mortality rate of 17%-25% within a year post- fracture or surgery in older adults. This growth is propelled by factors such as population expansion, increased life expectancy, and lifestyle changes favouring osteoporosis. Moreover, the growing geriatric population, prone to bone disorders, further augments market growth prospects.
Escalating Global Burden of Osteoporosis Spurs Demand for Bone Densitometry Solutions
Osteoporosis affecting about 19.75% of the population. This prevalence is projected to rise significantly by 2050, particularly in China. Moreover, fragile fractures induced by osteoporosis are also expected to escalate, with management costs reaching USD 25.43 billion by 2050. This growing prevalence signals a surge in demand for bone densitometers, driving robust growth in bone health diagnostics.
Technological Innovations Propel Growth by Facilitating Enhanced Diagnostic Precision
Bone densitometers are undergoing several technical advancements, notably with the emergence of portable and handled devices, which provide unparalleled convenience and flexibility in screening and diagnosis processes. Moreover, the seamless integration of sophisticated imaging modalities such as dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and quantitative ultrasound (QUS) has significantly augmented diagnostic precision and efficacy. Recent breakthroughs also include the introduction of trabecular bone score (TBS), and vertebral fracture assessment (VFA), alongside FDA-approved impact micro indentation (IMI), revolutionizing the measurement of bone material strength. Leading the forefront of innovation is the horizon DXA system a pinnacle in densitometry technology. It boasts precise bone density measurements along with comprehensive fracture risk assessment capabilities, underscoring pursuit of excellence in the field of bone health diagnostics.
The market is witnessing several trends and developments to improve the current global scenario. Some of the notable trends are as follows:
| Key Trends | Impact |
| Technical Advancements to Improve Screenings | An exclusive focus on measuring bone mineral density (BMD) effectively is driving exploration into alternatives like dual-energy computed tomography (DECT). Although DECT offers precise BMD calculation, fracture predictors, and insights into bone microstructure, it also faces challenges like radiation exposure. Future advancements may reshape bone health assessment with the help of CT scans, which exclusively determine BMD levels with anatomical visualization and cost saving. |
| Personalized Medicines Approaches | The rising preference for personalized bone health management is one of the major market trends. It considers factors like age, gender, fracture risks, and treatment history, aligning each test with specific goals. This patient centric approach, integrating clinical context and considering incident fractures and therapies, enhances care standards. As personalized testing and its clinical integration becomes the cornerstone of bone health management, the densitometer market is expected to undergo transformative shifts in the forecast period. |
| Rising Preference for Compact Devices | DXA, a gold standard for osteoporosis diagnosis is witnessing improvements in its efficacy with the advent of OsteoSys BeeTLe, a portable wireless QUS (quantitative ultrasound) bone mineral densitometer. Offering compact size, lightness, and ample space for calcaneus measurement, BeeTLe complements DXA by measuring beta-CrossLaps. It provides insights into bone turnover dynamics and fracture risk. This integrated approach promises to reshape osteoporosis management by providing a comprehensive assessment of bone health, potentially improving fracture risk prediction and enabling tailored interventions for better patient outcomes. |
| Heightened Awareness and Adoption of Bone Densitometry Screening | In an endeavour to prioritize employee well-being, the Human Resource Management Department (HRMD) at National Healthcare Association (NHA), in collaboration with Zydus pharmaceuticals, spear headed a series of bone density awareness screenings in February 2023. Such initiatives intended to raise awareness and educate participants on osteoporosis monitoring and management is expected to boost the market value in coming years. |
