market report "X-Ray Devices
Market (Mobile X-Ray and C-Arm Devices, Private
Not-For-Profit, For-Profit and Public Hospitals, Health Screening Centers,
Thoracic, ICU, Emergency Response, Dental and Orthopedics Department)
-U.S., China and Europe Market Penetration, Buying Preferences and
Healthcare Institution Usage Rate Analysis, Size, Share, Growth and
Forecast, 2012 - 2018," the global market by volume for
x-rays was valued at 494.2 thousand units in 2011 and it is expected to reach
an estimated volume of 700.5 thousand units in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 5.2%
from 2012 to 2018.
The changing
dynamics of the overall x-ray devices market is marked by the shift of buyer's
focus from stationary and analog x-ray devices to digital and mobile or
portable x-ray devices. The growing PACS (picture archiving and communication
system) adoption rates in the U.S. and Europe and the introduction of
healthcare reforms encouraging the use of digital x-ray systems are some of the
factors which keep the influence levels of the criterion "technology"
at a high level in all three geographic regions. In addition, image quality is
one of the most important buying criteria as it has a direct influence on the
quality of diagnosis.Price holds high importance in the price sensitive Chinese
x-ray devices market. Furthermore, the developing Eastern European and Western
European countries which recently recovered from the economic recession of
2009, also assign high importance to this criterion while purchasing an x-ray
device.
The U.S. x-ray
devices segment led the market in terms of volume in 2011, in comparison to the
European and Chinese x-ray devices market. Its market by volume for x-ray
devices was valued at 141,790.7 units in 2011. High PACS adoption rate in the
country (approximately 90%) and the rising demand for point of care diagnostics
and bedside imaging are some of the significant impact rendering drivers for
the U.S. x-ray devices market. The x-ray devices market for the U.S. private
for-profit hospitals is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the
forecast period. The threat to the U.S. private not-for-profit hospitals in
terms of losing their not-for-profit status post the implementation of the
Affordable Care Act and the high purchasing power of private for-profit
hospitals are two primary reasons for this high growth.
Emergence of
healthcare multinationals, for instance, Capio AB (acquired by Apax in 2008)
and the introduction of technologically advanced low cost x-ray devices such as
the development of a portable x-ray device under project NANORAY are some of
the drivers assisting the European x-ray devices market maintain a healthy
growth rate. Economic development and the rising market penetration of private
hospitals in the Central and Eastern European regions will fuel the future
growth of the market. This sales volume of x-ray devices in this hospital type
will grow at a CAGR of approximately 7% from 2012 to 2018.
The China x-ray
devices market is expected to exhibit the fastest growth rate during the
forecast period owing to drivers such as the implementation of the healthcare
reform system in 2006 and the implementation of the 12th 5-year plan in 2011.
The extensive presence of government/public healthcare institutions in China
makes it the largest buyer and user of x-ray devices. X-ray devices in
government/public hospitals held majority of market share in terms of volume in
2011. Its market share in the overall China x-ray devices market by hospital
types was valued at 55.8% in 2011.
The x-ray devices
market by products was dominated by general/stationary x-ray devices market in
2011 across all hospital types in the U.S., China and Europe, on account of its
historic presence in the market. However, rising adoption of bedside imaging
and point of care diagnostics will help the mobile-x-ray devices grow at the
fastest rate during the forecast period.
Furthermore, in
terms of usage rate the general/stationary x-ray devices held the highest rates
across most of the departments in healthcare institutions of the U.S., Europe and
China in 2011. Some of the departments dominated by mobile x-ray devices market
include ICU, emergency response and dental department. Introduction of advanced
technologies enabled c-arm devices such as Dental Fluoroscopic Imaging System
(DFIS) by Real Time Imaging Technologies LLC will help this market grow at the
fastest rate (in terms of usage rate) in dental departments of the U.S., China
and Europe.
Some of the key
players of the global x-ray devices market include Philips Healthcare, GE
Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, Shimadzu Corporation, Toshiba Medical Systems,
Varian Medical Systems and Fujifilm Holdings.
