The overall medical holography market is expected to grow from USD 223.1 million in 2016 to USD 953.9 million by 2021 at a CAGR of 33.7%. Growth in this market can largely be attributed to a number of factors, such as the rising adoption of holography products in biomedical research and medical education, growing clinical applications of holography, and advantages of holography over traditional 2D imaging techniques. However, the high computational cost of processing holograms is restricting the growth of this market to a certain extent.
Although the medical holography market is currently in the embryonic stage, it has the potential to revolutionize the medical imaging industry in the coming years. Medical holography is a powerful tool for molecular imaging in clinical diagnostics and preclinical research in various therapeutic areas. Owing to the potential applications of holography in the field of diagnostic and interventional imaging, considerable research is underway in this industry. In this report, the medical holography market is broadly segmented by product type, application, end user, and region.
On the basis of product, the global medical holography market is segmented into holography software, holography displays, holography microscopes, holography prints, and holoscopes. The holography microscopes are expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Growth in this product segment can be attributed to the various benefits of these products, including real-time cell imaging for life science and medicine applications.
The medical holography market in North America is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Factors such as increasing demand for noninvasive and radiation-free imaging techniques coupled with the growing geriatric population and increasing number of imaging procedures across the region are driving the growth of regional market.
Biomedical research segment to register highest growth during the forecast period
On the basis of application, the global medical holography market is segmented into medical imaging, biomedical research, and medical education.
Medical Imaging
Medical imaging application segment held the largest share of the global medical holography market in 2015. Medical imaging involves the process of creating visual representations of the interior of a human body for clinical analysis, diagnosis, and medical interventions. The large share of this application segment can be attributed to the advent of digital holograms for medical imaging in hospitals and diagnostic centers. Medical holography is expected to play an important role in medical diagnostic imaging in the near future owing to interactive holographic models that allow more dynamic and cost-effective medical testing and storage of immense quantities of imaging data.
Medical Education
Over the last five years, holography has gained wide acceptance in academic institutions and medical centers for medical education and training applications. Holographic prints are increasingly being used in the field of medical education to teach critical aspects of the human anatomy in a simpler manner. Digital holograms represent complex 3D anatomical structures of the human body and provide users with flexibility to turn a 3D hologram in different dimensions, to build different perspectives of the anatomical structure. This allows students to not only dissect different body systems, but also piece them back together. The increasing adoption of technologically advanced tools in medical teaching is expected to drive greater adoption of holography techniques in the field of medical education in the coming years.
Biomedical Research
The biomedical research segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Holography microscopes can be used for various applications in biomedical research, such as real-time monitoring of living cells, defect inspection, and noninvasive analysis of fluid tomography. They provide best solutions for performing cell -based assays, such as cytotoxicity assays using living cells. They are used for early drug discovery applications, such as cell death assays for the toxicological profiling of bioactive compounds and identification of cytotoxic agents in cancer research. Apart from the above applications, the digital holography microscopy technology is also used to measure clinically relevant parameters of RBCs, such as hemoglobin content and mean cell volume (MCV) of individual RBCs. Owing to various benefits, such as label-free monitoring of cellular functions and high-resolution, noninvasive, and real-time imaging, medical holography is witnessing an increase in demand in the biomedical research sector.
Critical questions the report answers:
- Where will all these developments take the industry in the mid to long term?
- What are the major application areas for medical holography technology?
The development of holograms is an extremely cost-intensive process. It takes significant investments in R&D to develop new products that effectively cater to market needs. The high costs associated with research and technology development (which includes product development, system engineering, software development, clinical assessment, and concerned regulatory approvals for the initiation of product manufacturing) increases the cost of the final product. The most expensive component of a digital holographic microscope and digital hologram is the computer that is used to reconstruct images. Various end users, especially academic institutes, cannot afford these high-cost tools, which restricts market growth to some extent. However, with the availability of faster computers for image processing, inexpensive semiconductor lasers, and high-speed CMOS cameras, it would be possible to build holographic microscopes at lower costs in the near future.
Key players in the medical holography market include EchoPixel, Inc. (US), RealView Imaging Ltd. (Israel), Mach7 Technologies Pte. Ltd. (Australia), Ovizio Imaging Systems (Belgium), Holoxica Ltd. (UK), zSpace, Inc. (US), Lyncée Tec (Switzerland), Eon Reality (US), Zebra Imaging (US), Nanolive SA (Switzerland), and Holografika Kft. (Hungary). Some of the key strategies adopted by the market players include new product launches; investments; mergers and acquisitions; and agreements, collaborations, and partnerships.
