Expected size in 2025
Mammography: Primary Screening Tool
Purpose
Primary screening tool for early detection in asymptomatic women.
Market Share
Dominates imaging segment (70-80% of revenue).
Worth $1.85-2.12 billion globally in 2025.
Cost Range
2D Mammogram: $100-250 per screening session.
3D Mammogram: $200-400 (higher sensitivity).
Supplemental Screening Methods
Breast Ultrasound
Ideal for dense breasts where mammography is less effective.
Cost: $150-300 per exam.
Automated Breast Ultrasound systems gaining traction.
MRI Screening
Used for high-risk patients (e.g., BRCA mutation carriers).
Cost: $500-1,200 per scan.
10-15% of imaging market ($265-400 million in 2025).
Emerging Liquid Biopsies
Non-invasive detection via blood-based biomarkers.
Cost: $500-1,000 per test.
Growing rapidly with significant R&D investment.
Cost Considerations Worldwide

U.S. Insurance Coverage
ACA mandates no-cost mammography screening for women over 40.
Without insurance: $100-1,000+ depending on technique.

Global Variation
Lower costs in developing nations ($20-50 for mammography in India).
Limited access drives WHO's Global Breast Cancer Initiative.

Cost Trends
Advanced techniques remain expensive but prices expected to decrease.
Technology improvements may reduce costs over time.
