The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Bone Densitometers Market would witness market growth of 5.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2018 – 2024).

The bone densitometer uses a narrow, nearly invisible, and low-dose X-ray beam. The two energy peaks that invade the bones during the scanning process are used for soft tissue absorption and for penetrating inside the bone. Bone densitometer has special software which can analyze the bone density measurements automatically and display the results on a computer monitor.

Based on Technology, the market is segmented into DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), Ultrasound, and Other. Based on Application, the market is segmented into Central Scan and Peripheral Scan. Based on the End user, the market is segmented into Hospitals, Clinics and Other end users.

Based on countries, the market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Nigeria, and Rest of LAMEA. The physical, psychosocial and financial burden imposed on both patients and society is severe because of osteoporotic fractures. Studies on osteoporosis prevalence and fragility fractures have shown wide variation in the Brazilian population because of sample size differences, the studied population, and the methodology. Brazil has an aging population and the prevalence of chronic diseases has been associated with an increase. An alarming concern is the postmenopausal osteoporosis because it results in a higher risk of fracture, resulting in negative health effects for older women. Efforts were made in last years to better understand the osteoporosis epidemiology in Brazil, and to manage the Brazilian medical system’s direct and indirect costs. In South Africa, the incidence of osteoporosis is similar to that of developed countries (from the Indian sub-continent), but there are no fracture data. Like in the USA, hip osteoporosis has a decreasing prevalence of vertebral bone mass, although it appears that black and white South Africans have a similar prevalence of vertebral fracture and perhaps also bone.
