Recent Advancement in X-Ray Technologies are Fine-Tuning the Medical Care Sector

An X-ray test is as painless test used for producing images of the numerous structures inside the human body, particularly the bones. X-ray beams are passed through the human body and get absorbed in varied amounts, dependent on the material through which they pass. X-ray technology is utilized for examining various parts of the body, such as any kind of dental decay, infections and fractures, different types of cancers, osteoporosis, arthritis, blocked blood vessels, digestive tract issues, etc.

There are a large number of factors driving the X-ray market, such as:

Rising Occurrence of Numerous Diseases: X-rays are able to detect cancer, infection, and air accumulating in the space covering the lung. X-rays can also display chronic lung conditions, namely cystic fibrosis or emphysema, and the complications associated with these conditions. Additionally, X-rays can also help figure out the problems or changes in the human lungs that arise from heart problems. For example, presence of fluid in the lungs could be due to congestive heart failure. Additionally, X-rays can detect deposits of calcium in the blood vessels or human heart. This presence could be an indication of damaged coronary arteries, heart valves, and heart muscles.

Emergence of New and Sophisticated X-Ray Systems:

X-rays have transformed medicine, even though they were feared at the time they were first discovered due to the skeletal images they produced, by presenting a noninvasive way of detecting internal structures of the body.

However , X-rays still have certain limitations. X-rays are not able to image the soft tissues of the body, without utilizing contrast-enhancing agents, which have to be injected or swallowed, and they have limited resolution.  tTo fix this, a new approach  has been implemented by  MIT researchers and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), which have together by provided detailed X-ray images inclusive of clear views of soft tissue without any requirement for contrast agents. This, along with many other advancements in X-ray technology, has helped fuel the market for X-rays globally.

Rise in Aging Population in Need of Enhanced Healthcare Services:

There is a global rise in the geriatric demographic. As per the United Nations, the number of people aged more than 65 years would rise from 743 million in 2009 to 2 billion by 2050. X-rays may be utilized in a number of ways to augment the welfare of the aging population:

  • Positioning of Pacemakers, Catheters, and Defibrillators – Defibrillators and pacemakers have wires that are attached to the human heart to ensure that the heartbeat remains normal. The small tubes utilized in medication delivery and dialysis are known as catheters. An X-ray image is usually taken after the placement of these medical devices to ensure that they are positioned correctly.
  • Checking Post-operative Changes – X-rays are utilized to monitor the recovery of a patient post-cardiac or pulmonary surgery. Doctors may take a look at the tubes or lines that were positioned in the surgery to check air buildup and air leaks.

Geographically, the global market has been segmented into six major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Africa and Rest of the World (RoW). North America accounted for a majority share of the global X-ray market in 2013, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. The X-ray market is growing steadily at a CAGR of 4.5% due to high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disorders, and breast cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 17.5 million people died due to cardiovascular diseases in 2012, accounting for approximately 31% of the global deaths. Moreover, 235 million people were diagnosed with asthma across the world in 2014. X-ray systems play an important role in the diagnosis of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. High prevalence of these diseases is leading to increased demand for advanced X-rays systems for early diagnosis and effective treatment.

North America was the largest market for X-ray systems in terms of revenue in 2013. Dominance of North America has been majorly attributed to the high prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, financial capability to purchase expensive devices, and high awareness about advanced radiology procedures. North America was followed by Asia Pacific. Higher awareness, improving health care infrastructure, rising prevalence of breast cancer, significant growth in medical tourism, and high acceptance of improved radiological procedures are contributing to the growth of the X-ray market in Asia Pacific and improving market share. The X-ray market in Asia Pacific offers large opportunities and is projected to expand at a high rate in the next few years. According to WHO statistics, India and China account for one third of the global breast cancer burden in 2012. Breast cancer accounted for 233,000 new cases and 44,000 deaths in the U.S., followed by China with 187,000 new cases and 48,000 deaths, and India with 145,000 and 70,000 deaths.


Europe was the third largest market for X-ray systems in 2013 due to high awareness about available radiology products, favorable reimbursement policies, high prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and economic stability to purchase expensive radiology equipment. Additionally, as per the WHO estimates, Europe was the highest smoking region in 2008 globally. High prevalence of smoking and significant exposure to particulate matter in countries in Europe has led to serious respiratory disorders in the region. High prevalence of respiratory diseases in various nations in Europe is leading to increased usage of X-ray devices for diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory diseases in the region. Significant growth in medical tourism from North America and Europe to countries across Asia Pacific would also lead to higher number of radiology procedures, driving demand for X-ray systems in these regions.

Latin America is a major market for X-ray systems due to increasing investments by market players in the region. The X-ray market in Latin America is projected to expand at a high rate during the forecast period from 2014 to 2022 and is expected to present huge growth opportunities. Improving health care scenario, rising prevalence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and increasing investments by market players in this region are the major factors fueling the growth of the X-ray market in Latin America. According to the WHO, the prevalence rate of asthma symptoms in children ranged from 20% to 30% in Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica, Peru, and Uruguay in 2013.

Siemens Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Carestream Health, Inc., FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Varian Medical Systems, Inc., Shimadzu Corporation, Agfa-Gevaert N.V., Hitachi Medical Corporation, Canon, Inc., Konica Minolta, Inc., and Toshiba Corporation are the major players operating in the global X-ray market. In terms of revenue, Siemens Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Carestream Health, Inc. and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation operate in most of the segments of the X-ray market, thereby intensifying competition at the global level.
