Market Overview

Mammography chairs are specialized medical furniture designed for use during mammography procedures including mammography screenings and stereotactic and tomo synthetic breast biopsies. It provides a comfortable and stable seating platform, ensuring proper positioning for accurate and clear mammograms of the patients undergoing examination. The prominence of patient comfort during mammography procedures has led to the development of ergonomic mammography chairs, which further attract healthcare facilities and enhance the overall patient experience. In 2022, there were 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer and 670,000 deaths globally. Breast cancer occurs in every country of the world in women at any age after puberty but with increasing rates in later life. In 2021, 75.9% of women aged 50-74 years had a mammogram within the past 2 years. The objective of the WHO Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) is to reduce global breast mortality by 2.5% per year, thereby averting 2.5 million breast cancer deaths globally between 2020 and 2040.  Mammography screening uses an x-ray of the breast to look for tumors in women allowing for the earlier detection of breast cancer, which, when followed by timely treatment, can help reduce deaths due to the disease. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women aged 50 to 74 years receive a mammogram every 2 years.
