Market Challenges

• Diagnostic imaging is an essential component of healthcare, particularly in fields such as oncology, cardiology, and gynecology. However, the high costs associated with diagnostic imaging equipment and procedures are a significant barrier to market growth. For instance, an MRI machine costs between USD150,000 and USD300,000, and additional costs are incurred for installation, remodeling, and annual service maintenance. The cost of annual service maintenance includes preventative maintenance, parts, labor charges, and technician allowances, which can amount to USD95,000-USD120,000 for a PET/CT scanner and USD100,000-USD140,000 for a CT system tube replacement. The cost of diagnostic imaging procedures also varies, with an MRI procedure costing between USD200 and USD2,200, a CT scan between USD50 and USD1,500, and an X-ray between USD50 and USD450. These costs cover hospital facilities, physician fees, and support staff fees. The cost of diagnosis can also depend on the healthcare infrastructure, potentially discouraging people from seeking necessary imaging in developing countries. Overall, the high costs of diagnostic imaging equipment and procedures can limit market growth.
• The Diagnostic Imaging Market faces several challenges in 2023. Aging populations and chronic diseases like age-related macular degeneration drive demand for advanced imaging technologies. However, economic setbacks and product recalls can impact market growth. Teleradiology services and AI-enabled diagnostic equipment from companies like Google Cloud and Siemens Healthineers are transforming the industry. The Computed Tomography market, including CT scanners and advanced transducers, dominates, but Ultrasound, including portable devices, also gains popularity. Hospitals, teaching hospitals, and surgical suites in developed regions require state-of-the-art imaging modalities like MRI, CT, X-ray, and molecular imaging for cardiovascular disorders, neurology disorders, orthopedic disorders, and early detection tools. Government initiatives like India's X-Ray Setu and AI platforms from companies like Google's Deepmind and Moorfields Eye Hospital are shaping the future of diagnostics. However, challenges remain, including turnaround time, product recalls, and the refurbished equipment market. Companies like Siemens Healthineers, with market-leading positions and cardiovascular ultrasound portfolios like the Affiniti CVx, are addressing these challenges and driving innovation in radiology operations.

1.1 X-ray- The global digital X-ray systems market is experiencing robust growth, with the digital X-ray segment leading the charge. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of digital radiography (DR) systems in developed regions, particularly North America and Europe. The shift to digital X-ray systems is due to their numerous advantages, such as improved image quality, faster processing times, and lower radiation doses. In contrast, conventional X-ray systems have larger image receptors, moderate resolution, and longer processing times, and their use is associated with higher radiation doses. According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer was the most common cancer in 2020, with 2.3 million diagnoses and 685,000 deaths worldwide. Digital X-ray systems' ability to detect abnormalities more effectively, particularly in low-contrast environments, makes them increasingly essential for diagnosing chronic diseases like breast cancer and spinal disorders. Despite the benefits, the digital X-ray systems market faces regulatory challenges. In the US, all X-ray equipment is classified as Class III medical devices, requiring extensive regulatory processes to ensure safety and efficacy. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prevents unsafe and ineffective devices from entering the market, which may negatively impact sales and profit margins for manufacturers. However, technological advances and the growing adoption of portable and mobile digital X-ray systems are expected to drive market growth. New generation mobile X-ray units offer increased efficiency and cost savings compared to standalone systems. Wireless mobile X-ray systems provide flexibility in healthcare facilities by enabling the sharing of medical images between mobile and fixed systems. Vendors are investing in innovative mobile and portable digital X-ray systems to enhance market growth. For instance, Nanox recently received FDA approval for its NANO-X IMAGING's single-source Nanox.ARC Digital X-ray technology, which has the potential to lower diagnostic imaging system costs and deliver early detection services effectively. These factors are expected to fuel market growth during the forecast period.
