Contrast Media/Contrast Agent Market: Segmentation Analysis

The global contrast media/contrast agent market is segmented based on modality, product type, application, mode of administration, end-use, and region.

Based on the modality, the global market is bifurcated into X-ray/CT, MRI, and Ultrasound. The X-ray/CT segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to show its dominance during the forecast period. High-resolution 3D pictures of structures are produced with the aid of X-ray/CT contrast agents. In X-ray and CT procedures, barium-based and iodinated contrast fluids are used. When supplied or injected into the body, barium, and iodine contrast agents block X-rays and prevent the rays from passing through. Images of the body's organs, blood vessels, and other tissues that momentarily contain barium- or iodinated-based contrast agents alter as a result.

The widespread use of X-rays and CT for a variety of disorders is anticipated to propel market expansion. On the other hand, the ultrasound segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. To see tissue microcirculation, contrast agents for ultrasound imaging have been created. Microbubbles are typically used as the modality's agents because they improve the blood's echogenicity, allowing for better imaging and evaluation of tissue vascularity, major veins, and heart cavities. The significant advantages that ultrasound contrast agents have over other imaging modalities are expected to drive the market's expansion.

Based on the product type, the global contrast media/contrast agent market is categorized into iodinated, barium-based, gadolinium-based, and microbubble. The iodinated segment is projected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. The segment growth is attributed to the availability of nonionic stable iodinated chemicals as well as the strong penetration of X-ray and CT techniques that allow for enhanced diagnosis. Although iodinated contrast agents are often injected intravenously, barium-based agents may rarely be used instead for rectal and oral delivery. CT and X-ray images are enhanced using contrast materials with an iodine base.

They are utilized to improve the vision of the brain, GI tract, internal organs, arteries, and veins. Iodinated contrasting media are frequently used for several reasons, including cancer, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neurological, and nephrological problems.

Based on the application, the global contrast media/contrast agent is divided into cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, nephrological disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, and others. The neurological disorders segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The use of MRI contrast agents is encouraged by the diagnostic assessment of the CNS for neurological disorders because they offer superior images of neural structures than CT.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents are used to see demyelinated, inflammatory, and neoplastic lesions. One in three MRIs include gadolinium-based contrast agents to improve picture quality, which increases diagnostic precision by making blood arteries, inflammation, and tumors more visible.

The most frequently utilized macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agents in the United States for the diagnosis of neurological diseases are Gadavist, Dotarem, and Prohance. To identify lesions with aberrant vascularity in the brain, spine, and related tissues, they are authorized for intravenous use in adults and pediatric patients, 2 years of age or older.

Based on the route of administration, the global market is segmented into an intravascular route, oral route, rectal route, and others.

Based on the end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and diagnostic imaging centers.
