Market Overview:
The global metal fiducial marks market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for metal fiducial marks in hospitals and outpatient facilities, independent radiotherapy centers, and cancer research centers across the globe. In addition, the growing awareness about benefits of using metal fiducial marks over other markers is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, pure gold segment is expected to account for a major share of the global metal fiducial marks market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to its properties such as high malleability and ductility that make it suitable for use in medical applications. Gold alloys are also gaining popularity due their properties such as resistance against corrosion and tarnishing which makes them ideal for long-term implantation in patients’ bodies without any adverse effects. Based on application, hospitals and outpatient facilities segment is projected dominate the global metal fiducial mark market during 2018-2030 owing its widespread use across various medical applications including radiation therapy, image guided surgery (IGS), etc.
Product Definition:
A fiducial mark is a physical feature of an object that can be used to determine its orientation or position. Metal fiducial marks are tiny, often barely visible features etched or stamped into the surface of a metal part. They are used as reference points for inspection and measurement equipment, allowing it to accurately track the position and orientation of the part. The importance of metal fiducial marks lies in their ability to provide an unambiguous reference point for precision manufacturing and assembly processes.
Pure Gold:
Gold is a naturally occurring element, which has been used as money for the past 4,000 years. It is available in two forms - an alloy of gold and other metals (such as silver), and pure or solid gold. Pure gold has no relation to any other metal on earth. It can be produced in laboratories by electrolysis (an electric current passed through a solution) of a mixture of gold and other metals; it can also be mined from mines if the conditions are right.
Gold Alloys:
Gold alloys are a group of solid gold-copper alloys. They have wide applications in the jewelry industry and also find use as precious metals. The most common forms of gold alloy include 10K, 14K, 18K, 20 K and 22 K gold alloys which contain 80% to 90% of fine Gold by weight.
Application Insights:
Based on application, the market is segmented into hospitals and outpatient facilities, independent radiotherapy centers, cancer research centers and other healthcare facilities. Hospitals and outpatient facilities held the largest share in 2017 owing to increasing awareness about advanced treatments for various diseases. Metal fiducial markers are used in surgeries to track the position of organs during minimally invasive procedures. The markers help surgeons plan appropriate movements during surgery so that they can achieve a better result with less pain & trauma.
The independent radiotherapy center segment is expected to grow at a lucrative rate over the forecast period as these centers offer services for radiation therapy treatment planning without involving any medical staff or personnel from radiation safety authorities.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global metal fiducial marks market in 2017. This is attributed to growing R&D investments by government and private entities, increasing healthcare spending, and technological advancements. For instance, in September 2018, a collaboration was announced between the U.S.-based company 3M and Cancer Care Ontario for developing new technologies that would enhance cancer care delivery across Canada. The project is funded by Cancer Care Ontario with an investment of USD X million over a period of four years (2018-02).
Asia Pacific region is expected to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period owing to rising demand for advanced radiotherapy equipment coupled with increasing awareness about radiation safety among patients & physicians as well as government agencies such as regulatory authorities (i.e., National Health & Medical Research Council) in this region will boost regional growth over the forecast period  8).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronics industry
- Rising demand from medical and healthcare sector
- Growing popularity of metal fiducial marks in automotive industry
- Proliferation of 3D printing technology
- Increasing adoption of metal fiducial marks in defense and aerospace sector
