Digital X- ray Market | Future of X-ray Systems

Digital X Ray is a form of radiography that uses x-ray–sensitive plates to directly capture data during the patient examination, immediately transferring it to a computer system without the use of an intermediate cassette. Advantages include time efficiency through bypassing chemical processing and the ability to digitally transfer and enhance images. Also, less radiation can be used to produce an image of similar contrast to conventional radiography.

What the Market Looks Like?
The digital X-ray market is expected to reach USD 13.04 billion by 2023 from USD 8.08 billion in 2017 at a CAGR of 8.5%. The base year considered for the study is 2017, and the forecast period is from 2018 to 2023. In 2018, North America is expected to dominate the market, followed by Europe. The high growth of the North American market is attributed to the strong economies in the US and Canada, which have allowed for significant investments in new technologies.

Based on application, the digital X-ray market is segmented into general radiography, dental applications, fluoroscopy, and mammography. The general radiography segment is expected to account for the largest share of the digital X-ray market, in 2018.

Based on the technology, the digital X-ray market is segmented into direct radiography and computed radiography. The direct radiography segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Based on portability, the digital X-ray market is segmented into fixed digital X-ray systems and portable digital X-ray systems. In 2018, fixed digital X-ray systems are expected to command the largest share of the digital X-ray market.
