"The adoption of imaging modalities is increasing, with sizeable marketpotential waiting to be leveraged over the next five to seven years," notesFrost & Sullivan Research Analyst Santhosh Kumar Ramaraj. "There istremendous scope and opportunity for imaging modalities vendors to provide acost-effective imaging system."
The European preclinical small animal imaging market is quite competitiveand is in the process of consolidation. This situation is pushing the needfor high-performance, low-cost imaging systems that meet the specific customerrequirements. There has also been a steady annual upswing in governmentinitiatives to promote and support animal imaging.
Currently, the price of imaging modalities is relatively high for academicresearch labs. This is having a negative impact on sales. Furthermore,longer sales cycles and funding constraints for academic research labs presentmajor challenges to sustained market expansion.
"Prospective customers have to undergo a complex process of approval fromgrant bodies and approval committees to fund the purchase of small animalimaging systems," cautions Ramaraj. "There is also a need for vendors toprovide various funding options to customers and accelerate the salesprocess."
It is important for vendors to provide clients with a range of fundingalternatives. Apprising customers of the technology, providing proof ofconcepts and offering advice, support, training and after-sales service willcreate a win-win situation. This will help maximise growth potential, whilebenefiting both vendors and buyers.
