Small Animal Imaging Market Overview
The Small Animal Imaging Market size is expected to reach USD 14.9 Billion by 2032 at 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. Small animal imaging is a technique that uses imaging equipment and reagents to monitor molecular or cellular processes in animals such as rats and mice for drug development and gene expression research.
However, regulatory rules governing the use of animals in investigations, as well as the expensive cost of equipment, may limit the expansion of the small animal imaging industry. The growing need for non-invasive small animal imaging techniques, as well as technical breakthroughs in the sector, is propelling the market forward. Furthermore, major market players are concentrating on launching new products on a regular basis, which is expected to contribute to market growth.
