Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Market Size

Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) market size was valued at USD 563.2 million in 2022 and is estimated to account for USD 1,219.7 million by 2032. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is a medical imaging technique used to measure and analyze the density of bone and body composition. This system is used to assess bone health, especially for diagnosing osteoporosis and monitoring changes in bone density over time.

DEXA scans work by directing two separate X-ray beams as each beam have different energy levels through the body. One beam is absorbed by soft tissues and the other by bone. The amount of each X-ray beam that is absorbed allows for the calculation of bone mineral density (BMD) and other body composition measurements. The DEXA market is witnessing substantial progression opportunities owing to the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis, rising demand for advanced medical imaging services for early disease diagnosis, and advancements in medical technology. These devices offer several advantages such as in early disease diagnosis, decreased risk of radiation exposure, and improved treatment outcomes.
