The Biomedical Imaging stream would evolve as a pillar for diagnosis; this further improves other techniques that play a competitive role in imaging. The imaging market is growing - from US$16.7 billion in 2005 it is projected to reach US$27.4 billion by 2012 with a 7.3% growth rate hence showing the potential of imaging as a research tool in the market. This focus on the medical market gives rise to many innovative tools and business opportunities. North America is the leading market (46.5% of global market share in 2006) for Bioimaging presently and is projected to manage the leading position throughout the analysis period with its share dropping to 42.8% by 2012. Due to heavy demand and access to the latest technology, Japan is the fastest growing (8.8% during 2005-2012) market for Bioimaging which is closely followed by Asia-Pacific.

Major Companies such as GE Healthcare (UK), Siemens, Bayer Schering (Germany), Hologic, Mallinckrodt (USA), Esaote SpA (Italy), Hitachi, Shimadzu (Japan) hold major shares in the Bioimaging market. Competition is very high due to the high demand of these products.Biomedical imaging is a combination of medical disciplines and other life sciences. It offers the full potential to produce sophisticated imaging tools; which includes both quality and accessibility. The improvements made for treating of living organisms are associated with integrated image-guided therapy. This further increases the chances of treatments and diagnosis in the health sector. There is an adequate need for development of new imaging techniques. With the drastic development in Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and also in computer analysis, use of molecular imaging technologies has increased exponentially in recent years. Even though only 13.4% of global imaging procedures are truly molecular, the compounded annual market growth rates are expected to be around 15.6%.
