Optical imaging refers to a non-invasive technique where light is used to interrogate molecular and cellular function in a living body through the exploitation of the unique properties of photons. The global optical imaging market is assessed to be valued at USD 1.92 billion, expanding at 10% CAGR by 2023, as stated by Market Research Future (MRFR). The optical imaging market is projected to overtake the radiology imaging market owing to a long list of advantages. The global optical imaging market is primarily driven by the rising adoption and demand for non-invasive procedures, and awareness towards harmful effects from radiation-based imaging. Further, surging research and development activities in life sciences and the proliferating application of optical imaging technology in drug discovery and preclinical research are also magnifying market growth.

Detailed Regional Analysis
The global optical imaging market is analyzed by MRFR for the geographical segments of North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. North America and South America together are estimated to hold the largest market share due to a prevalence of cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic disorders about mounting geriatric population. Further, rising government initiatives to fund research in the medical devices sector, mounting demand for accurate diagnosis, awareness towards adverse effects of radiation imaging are also contributing the growth in the region.
Europe is expected to follow the Americas, capturing the second largest share in the global optical imaging market. Such growth is owed to the drivers like the availability of advanced treatment facilities, mushrooming healthcare expenditure, and the flourishing medical industry. Further, awareness towards the advantages of optical imaging over radiation imaging is also propelling the market growth in the region.
The APAC region is projected to expand at the fastest rate, with new growth avenues opening up during the forecast period. As per the report published by the Department of Neurology, in 2014, 30 million people in India suffered from neurological disorders. This, coupled with a faster adaptation of healthcare technology, and government initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare are also likely to spur substantial growth in the regional market.
The Middle East and Africa are projected to show the slowest growth owing to the lack of awareness and restricted access & availability of treatment facilities in the region. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are estimated to expand the most due to the development of the healthcare industry in the regions. Moreover, steady growth owing to government initiatives enhance the healthcare quality in this region is also anticipated to push the optical imaging market.
Key Players
The global optical imaging market has many influential players. Some of these players, as mentioned in the MRFR report include Topcon Corporation, Perkinelmer, Inc., Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Canon Inc., Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Koninklijke Philips N.V., St. Jude Medical, Inc., Heidelberg Engineering, Inc., and Bioptigen, Inc.
