Dublin, April 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Elastography Imaging Market by Modality, Application, End User - Global Forecast to 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The elastography imaging market size is expected to grow from USD 2.5 billion in 2018 to USD 4.6 billion by 2024, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.0% during the forecast period.

The growth of this market is mainly driven by the growing incidence of breast cancer and chronic liver diseases and a rising preference for minimally invasive procedures across the globe. However, the high cost of elastography imaging systems and an unfavorable reimbursement scenario are expected to restrain the growth of this market to a certain extent.

The elastography imaging market is segmented into four major regions, namely, North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Europe accounted for the largest share of the global elastography imaging market in 2018. The growth of this regional segment is mainly driven by the large number of ongoing clinical research projects in the field of elastography, the early commercialization of these devices in the region, and the significant healthcare expenditure across mature European countries.

However, the market in the Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Growth in this regional market can be attributed to the increasing healthcare expenditure, growing public awareness, continuous decrease in device costs, and the rising prevalence of target diseases.
