Top 3 Factors Shaping Medical Physics Market

Increasing outsourcing is expected to drive the medical physics market

Healthcare facilities are looking to cut expenses, due to which they outsource a number of services, which include medical physics. This can be attributed to the high cost involved in training or skill update certification, which is not likely to be possible in an in-house setup. In several medium or large facilities, a hybrid arrangement exists, which includes an in-house medical physics department that is supplemented with contracted services.

Increasing mergers & acquisitions in the medical physics market is one of the leading trends

A highly fragmented market, enhanced regulatory protocols, and increased consolidation of healthcare systems & hospitals are some of the factors driving the trend towards increasing mergers and acquisitions. There has been a significant increase in mergers and acquisitions in the medical physics market. For instance, in 2014, West Physics acquired Medical Physics Inc.

Increasing acceptance of nuclear medicine in developing economies is estimated to drive the medical physics market in these regions

In the past decade, there have been remarkable advancements in the nuclear medicine practice owing to noteworthy advancements in information technology, instrumentation, and radio pharmacy. These factors are significantly boosting the medical physics market. The emergence of new technologies, which include SPECT/CT and PET/CT, has encouraged the adoption of nuclear medicine. In addition, other hybrid modalities, which include the development of new radiopharmaceuticals as well as SPECT/MRI, are also expected to drive new therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Medical Physics Market Structure Analysis

The global medical physics market is categorized by strong presence of several small independent companies.
Most of the key players maintain a strategic focus on markets in North America and Europe.
The trend of hospital consolidation in developed nations is boosting the demand for larger-scale operators to reduce the number of contracted service providers. Leading players in the medical physics market are thus concentrating on the acquisitions and mergers strategy to cater to the requirements of healthcare providers.
Important entrants in the medical physics market such as Aloka and Sonosite are strategizing on new product launches, such as the introduction of the Aloka ProSound SSD-5500 Ultrasound Machine and SonoSite NanoMaxx Ultrasound Machine to expand their product portfolios.
