Report forecast the global medical imaging market to grow at
a CAGR of 4.95% during the period 2017-2021.
body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical
imaging is performed to reveal the internal structures hidden by the skin and
bones to examine and diagnose the medical condition. It plays a vital role not
only in diagnosis but also in the treatment process as it is taken into
consideration during the follow-up of various diseases. Various methods for
medical imaging include X-rays, SPECT/PET, ultrasound, CT, and MRI. For the
diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, these methods are used
individually or in combination for a better understanding of the medical
condition.
The report covers the present scenario and the growth
prospects of the global medical imaging market for 2017-2021. To calculate the
market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of
medical imaging equipment by product type such as:
- MRI
- CT Scanners
- X-rays
- Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET)
- Ultrasound
The market is divided into the following segments based
on geography:
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA
According to the report, general X-rays is the leading
segment in the overall global medical imaging market. However, conventional
analog X-ray systems has reached maturity and is growing at a slow rate,
especially in developed countries, as the technology has become obsolete and is
being replaced by newer technologies. The market has been witnessing upgrades
of analog X-ray systems to digital X-ray systems. With the increased cost of
digital X-ray systems, manufacturers have found a cost effective solution to
convert analog X-ray systems to digital X-ray systems. This can be done by
using retrofit kits. Retrofit kits are also used to convert analog X-ray
systems into computed radiography systems by harnessing detection devices such
as high-density solid scan systems or flat panel detectors. The average cost of
a retrofit is approximately $105,000, while a new digital radiography system
costs approximately $180,000. For instance, Carestream Health launched mobile
retrofit kits such as DRX mobile retrofit kit, DRX transportable, and DRX field
portable. The introduction of such technologies have made it possible for
hospitals and other diagnostic centers to refurbish their analog systems at a
cheaper price.
Further, the report states that the global medical imaging
market is experiencing an increased shift toward the use of refurbished systems
due to the high cost of the device and installation. Small diagnostic centers
will not be able to afford these expenses, so they prefer used and refurbished
medical imaging equipment as they are available at a low price in comparison
with new ones and come with a warranty period of a couple of years. Many local
vendors are engaged in the import/export of used and refurbished equipment.
Apart from the low purchasing power and the lack of awareness in developing
nations, customers trust local companies that provide products at a low cost
and have better aftersales support. This trend will help low-cost hospitals
gain access to medical imaging technologies.
