France Computed Tomography Market Trends

The main factors contributing to the growth of this market in France include variables like the increase in the prevalence of various cancer disorders and the expanded use of computed tomography in the diagnosis of cancer disorders. Numerous research projects are also being carried out to foster innovation and industry expansion. The market for cancer computed tomography equipment is experiencing numerous developments in France, including new releases and approvals, partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions. For instance, the Nîmes University Hospital in France installed top-of-the-line CT scanners in emergency rooms in March 2020. The International Agency for Research on Cancer anticipated that there will be 58,083 new cases of breast cancer in France in 2020, as reported by Globocan. Additionally, 66,070 cases of prostate cancer were predicted to be diagnosed in 2020, according to the same survey. 9,060 deaths due to prostate cancer cases were estimated. The increasing prevalence of various cancer conditions in France is predicted to increase the demand for computed tomography for medical diagnosis. During the projected period, this is anticipated to accelerate market expansion.

In France, there are numerous research projects being conducted in the area of computed tomography imaging for the diagnosis of cancer. For instance, Benoît Audelan, a researcher with the Epione project team at the Inria (France's National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology) centre, presented an article in September 2021 with the title "Validation of lung nodule detection a year before diagnosis in NLST dataset based on a deep learning system." Researchers claim that the artificial intelligence (AI) programme they built may detect lung cancer symptoms on CT scans a year before they can be detected using current techniques. Hence, the above developments are further expected to improve the market growth in this segment.
