In 2021, the market for Digital X-Ray Devices worldwide was worth $11.5 billion US dollars. The market will reach US$ 21.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.5 percent between 2022 and 2031.

Industry Overview

A Digital X-Ray Device is a machine that performs an advanced type of x-ray inspection and instantly generates a digital radiographic image on a computer. A Digital X-Ray Device is a device that generates a high-quality digital image of an object or organ and immediately sends it to a computer. During object examination, x-ray sensitive plates are used to capture data. When combined with an X-ray detector, it is used in a variety of applications such as medicine, electronic assembly, X-ray spectroscopy, and material thickness estimation in manufacturing processes. Aside from that, radiographers use Digital X-Ray Devices in clinical settings to obtain digital x-ray images of organism structures like bones, as well as during sterilization. Furthermore, such machines improve organizational safety by providing better outcomes for patients, such as faster disease diagnosis. The associated benefits are expected to boost the overall market penetration of these Digital X-Ray Devices in the coming years.

Market Dynamics

The rising prevalence of orthopedic diseases and cancers is one of the main factors driving the global expansion of diagnostic imaging tests, that also drives the Digital X-Ray Devices market. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics – 2022 Upgrade data, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide in 2020, accounting for 19.05 million deaths. Based on the same source, cerebrovascular diseases will be responsible for approximately 7.08 million deaths worldwide in 2020. Because of the country’s high prevalence of cardiac disease, there is a high demand for imaging devices with precise diagnosis, and thus digital X-ray devices become important in this context.

Digital x-ray machines One of the market’s primary drivers is technological advancement. Furthermore, technological advancements and increased product approvals, as well as partnerships and collaborations by key players, are assisting in market growth. Carestream Health India, for example, has announced the launch of the DRX Compass in 2022, an accurate, convenient, and configurable digital radiation solution that provides radiologists with a whole new level of efficiency. Furthermore, DRX Compass allows for the configuring of preferred configurations from a diverse range of detectors, tubes, generators, stages, and collimators, as well as how radiation facilities deploy this futuristic digital radiation technology. However, high installation and device costs, as well as an increase in the use of refurbished devices, are likely to stymie market growth.

COVID Impact

COVID-19 had a positive impact on the global digital x-ray devices market growth. Digital imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis of COVID-19 and indicates the affected lung tissue in infected patients. Several key market players had focused on innovations in the production of radiography equipment. For instance, in December 2020, Agfa HealthCare launched its new SmartXR for X-ray Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Digital Radiography portfolio to aid during the radiology routine, which has proven important during the COVID-19 crisis. As a result, the number of radiology practices and methods increased in 2020.

Regional Trend

Geographically, the global digital X-ray devices market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Globally, North America dominated the global Digital X-Ray Devices market due to the region’s growing usage of sophisticated technology and the expanding burden of chronic illnesses like cancer and diabetes, which are the major factors driving the digital X-Rays devices market.

Significant growth is anticipated in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029, attributed to According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were approximately 95,03,710 new cancer cases reported in Asia in 2020, with the number expected to rise to 2,06,06,063 by 2025. Furthermore, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, CVD is the leading cause of death worldwide, with Asia accounting for half of all CVD cases. As a result of growing government initiatives and patient awareness, the use of screening tests for such disorders has increased in the region in recent years.

Competitive Landscape

Key players operating in the global tissue diagnostics market are Agfa-Gevaert Group, Boston Imaging, Canon Medical Systems Corp., Carestream Health, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, GE Healthcare, Hitachi, Ltd., Hologic, Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., Mindray Medical International, Samsung Medison, Shimadzu Corporation and Siemens Healthcare GmbH among others. Fujifilm announced the launch of the FDR Cross in the United States in July 2022, an innovative hybrid c-arm and portable X-ray solution designed for hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASC). The dual-function c-arm is the first of its kind to provide portable fluoroscopic and radiographic imaging on a single platform, eliminating the need for additional imaging equipment for image-guided procedures.

Key USP’s-

Canon Medical System USA, Inc. has introduced the OMNERA 500A Digital Radiography system, which includes an advanced intelligent auto-positioning feature to improve workflow. In addition, Samsung introduced the GM85 Fit in April 2022, a new configuration of the premium AccE GM85, a digital radiography device with a user-centric design that aids in efficient and effective patient care. The GM85 Fit was recently granted 510(k) clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration for commercial use in the US.
