Fluorine-18 Market (By Product: FDG, NaF, and Others; By End User: Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, and Others) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, Revenue, Regional Outlook and Forecast 2021-2030

The global fluorine-18 market size was valued at US$ 1.4 bn in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 3 billion by 2030 with at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2021 to 2030.

Fluorine-18 is the most important radionuclide used in positron emission tomography (PET) today, largely due to its unique physical and nuclear characteristics. Agents such as the clinical oncology tracer FDG, the most widely used PET-radiopharmaceutical, have driven interest toward the chemistry of radiopharmaceuticals utilizing fluorine-18.

Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a type of nuclear medicine imaging, which is primarily carried out through radioactive material. Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose, evaluate, or treat diseases, and fluorine-18 is widely used in PET scan.

Fluorine-18 is the most widely used radioisotope in positron emission tomography (PET). It has a number of applications in the fields of oncology, neurology, and cardiology.

Combined PET/CT scanners outperform nearly all PET scans today. These combined scans help pinpoint abnormal metabolic activity and could provide more accurate diagnoses than the two scans performed separately. This is a major factor projected to drive the demand for fluorine-18.

Clinical applications of the positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) with glucose analogue 2-[fluorine 18] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) are expanding beyond the area of oncology. Apart from its high usage in clinical oncology, FDG PET-CT is used in various non-oncologic specialties such as cardiology, neurology, and cognitive neuroscience. This boosts the growth the global fluorine-18 market.

Increase in incidence of cancer across the globe boosts the demand for PET-CT devices. PET-CT test helps to diagnose cancer and provides more information, including whether a tumor is benign or malignant, and how well the cancer is responding to treatment. PET-CT is an extremely sensitive imaging modality in the detection of malignant tissues and presents higher specificity than PET alone, which is the primary reason for fewer equivocal scans and better diagnostic results.

FDG to Dominate Global Market

The global fluorine-18 market has been segmented based on product and end user. In terms of product, the global fluorine-18 market has been classified into FDG, NaF, and others.
