Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Optical Coherence Tomography for Healthcare and Life Science: Technology and Market Trends" report to their offering.
Around ten years ago, the growth of the OCT ophthalmology market slowed down because of saturation in the Western countries.
However, the OCT market for healthcare and life science is still expected to grow from around 500M in 2013 to around 1b in 2019. Strong demand from new biomedical applications, continuous development of innovative technologies, strong demand from developing countries will drive the OCT market growth.
OCT systems are reaching new biomedical applications:
In parallel to ophthalmology, OCT was developed and tested in new biomedical fields like: cardiovascular, dermatology, gastroenterology, small animal imaging... Indeed, as label-free, non-invasive, high-resolution technologies, OCT systems are very efficient tools for the diagnosis and monitoring of pathologies that are at the heart of public health concerns like Age-related Macular Disease, skin cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Barrett's Esophagous, breast cancer, etc.
The question now is: which one of these applications will give a second wind to the OCT market?
