Global Bone Densitometer Market Overview

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.

Global Bone Densitometer Market Growth Drivers

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.
