South Korea’s mammography equipment market eyes 4% CAGR growth until 2036

The country accounted for nearly 20% of the Asia Pacific market in 2024.

South Korea’s mammography equipment market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 4% through 2036, according to GlobalData.

The sector’s expansion is attributed to the broadening scope of breast cancer screening initiatives, increased public awareness, and the incorporation of sophisticated imaging technologies.

The country accounted for nearly 20% of the Asia Pacific market in 2024.

However, despite market growth, breast cancer detection still faces challenges related to inconsistent access, diagnostic delays, and disparities in the adoption of technology.

“Solutions such as the Lunit INSIGHT MMG and DBT represent a transformative shift in breast imaging,” said Shagufta Hasan, Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData.

“These advanced diagnostic solutions are paving the way for more detailed, efficient, and accessible screening pathways, aligning with the country’s broader commitment to preventive healthcare and innovation,” Hasan added.
