Market Segmentation

The global photomedicine technology market share is classified into technology and application.

• The photodynamic therapy is expected to hold the largest share of the global photomedicine technology market during the forecast period.   

Based on the technology, the global photomedicine technology market is categorized into laser, polychromatic polarized light, full spectrum light, dichroic lamps, light emitting diodes, photodynamic therapy, and interventional radiology. Among these, the photodynamic therapy segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global photomedicine technology market during the forecast period. Photodynamic therapy one dominates in the photomedicine technology market. In cancer treatments, PDT is very much in use, especially for skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma and actinic keratosis. It includes administering photosensitizing agents and their consequent exposure to light that this agent initiates to selectively target and destroy cancer cells. Effectiveness and growing acceptance of photodynamic therapy in oncology have propelled it to the fore among photomedicine technologies.

• The oncology segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on the application, the global photomedicine technology market is categorized into aesthetics and dermatology, dental procedures, oncology, ophthalmology, pain management, wound healing, and others. Among these, the oncology segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.  PDT involves the administration of photosensitizing agents followed by targeted light exposure to kill cancer cells. Its growing acceptance and efficacy in treating cancers place it at the leading edge of this market, offering a minimally invasive and more targeted therapeutic avenue to patients.
