Propelled by the favorable reimbursement policies, new emerging markets such as Alzheimer’s and continuing expanding oncology application segment, the global PET market is expected to reach around $2.2 billion by 2010. Reimbursement plays a major role in the adoption of any medical imaging technology particularly among the outpatient imaging centers and mobile PET scanners service providers, as the scope of overhead cost spread is not as conveniently as large hospitals.

In 2007 the reimbursement in the U.S. for the PET- CT was around $950 which was increased to $1,057 in 2008. The approval of PET scanning reimbursement in the U.S. by the Medicare and Medicaid for the Alzheimer’s disease widened the opportunities for the major market participants. Currently there are approximately 4.7 million Alzheimer’s patients in the U.S.  PET enables the radiologist to have the early diagnosis of the Alzheimer disease among the patients. Therefore this would further increase the demand of the PET scanners among the various health care centers.

Report Description

Energy is one of the prime needs of mankind and several sources have been identified to meet this need. Petroleum had been the major source of energy for till date. But their limited availability and their surging prices have forced mankind to search for alternative fuels. Biodiesel had been one of the renewable fuels that have been developed and is contributing towards meeting the global demand for fuels. Biodiesel is renewable and is also independent of the price fluctuations in the conventional petroleum products. Another major advantage of Biodiesel is that they do not pollute the environment, in contrast to the non-renewable sources like petroleum. With the government of all the major nations taking initiatives to encourage the increasing usage of Biodiesel, this market is slated for a huge growth in the next few years. The surging prices for non-renewable source, petroleum in particular and growing concern over pollution-control is also helping the market for Biodiesel. Many countries have initiated blending of conventional diesel with some percentage of Biodiesel to enhance engine life and reduce pollution. With a huge opportunity in sight, companies are buzzing with huge investment in improving the conversion efficiency for the renewable sources and this will give the overall market a boost.
