Nuclear Medicine Market by Type [SPECT (Tc-99m, I-123, Ga-67), PET (F-18), Alpha Emitters, Beta Emitters (Y-90, Lu-177), Brachytherapy], Application (Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology), Procedure, End User (Imaging Center, Hospital), and Region – Global For

The global nuclear medicine market is projected to reach USD 21.01 billion by 2030, growing from USD 10.41 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period. This projection is driven by the growing demand for diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and medical radioisotopes in the oncology, cardiology, and neurology fields. Additionally, the increased utilization of targeted radionuclide therapies, growth in cyclotron and reactor-based production of radioisotopes, and enhanced availability of these products through nuclear pharmacy networks are enhancing the growth of the market. Moreover, there is a significant increase in the use of radiopharmaceuticals across the globe as new ones are constantly developed and approved by regulatory bodies. This increased use of radiopharmaceuticals is further driving the growth of the market.

“The hospitals segment is projected to account for the largest share during the forecast period.”

By end user, the hospitals segment is projected to account for the largest share of the nuclear medicine market during the forecast period. This projection is based on the capability of hospitals in preparing and administering radiopharmaceuticals through complex processes, available licensed facilities to deal with radioisotopes, and the presence of specialized nuclear medicine experts. Additionally, the presence of large volumes of patients, combined with diagnostic and therapeutic services, and well-established reimbursement systems in hospitals, is further expected to drive the growth of the segment in the coming years.

“The therapeutic applications segment is projected to register a higher growth than the diagnostic applications segment during the forecast period.”

The therapeutic applications segment is projected to register a higher growth than the diagnostics applications segment during the forecast period. This projection is driven by the rising application of targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies and radioisotopes in treating cancer, especially in theranostics. Increasing clinical efficacy of radionuclide therapies and growing regulatory approval and investment in the production of therapeutic radioisotopes are boosting the acceptance across healthcare providers.

“Asia Pacific is projected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period.”

Asia Pacific is projected to register the highest growth in the nuclear medicine market over the forecast period. This is due to the rising demand for radiopharmaceuticals and radioisotopes because of factors like increasing cancer prevalence, hospital facilities expansion, and growing access to nuclear medicine services. Additionally, the production of radioisotopes and the enhancement of regulatory infrastructure and supply chains by the governments are also increasing the growth of the markets in the region faster. Moreover, the growing healthcare spending and the rising awareness of early diagnosis and specific treatments are contributing to the rise in the number of nuclear medicine procedures.
