Global
X-Ray Detectors Market: Snapshot
The growing technological advancement and
increasing geriatric population will fuel the growth of the global x-ray detectors
market
It is estimated that emerging economies
such as Brazil, China, and India will prove to be lucrative markets for x-ray
detector devices. Increasing geriatric population, growth in the awareness
level regarding radiography systems, and increasing support from the government
are some of the driving forces for the of x-ray detector devices market in
these countries. Innovations such as the development of wireless x-ray detector
devices have created a positive impact in the growth of the market. The growing
medical tourism in these nations is also expected to push the growth of this
market. However, the high cost of these systems will pose a challenge.
Stringent regulatory procedures for approval process are another challenge for
market players. In addition to this, a lack of skilled technicians in
developing nations may also be a cause of worry. However, the escalating rise
in the incidences of chronic diseases will ensure the continued demand for
x-ray detector devices.
X-Ray
Detectors Market: Overview
X-ray detectors are used majorly for two
purposes – imaging and dose measurement. Analog X-ray systems used photographic
plates and films for image detection. However, owing to a shift in technology
from analog to digital X-ray systems, the photographic plates and films are
rapidly replaced by digital image plates (flat panel detectors). Flat panel
detectors are highly sensitive and faster than a photographic film. With
improving technology and rising demand for digital X-ray systems, the X-ray
detectors require more robust structure with high transmission capability and
temperature endurance, and resistant to ionizing radiations.
X-Ray
Detectors Market: Segmentation
The global X-ray detector market is analyzed
based on the different types of detectors used in the X-ray devices. This
includes flat panel detectors, charge coupled device (CCD) detectors, image
intensifiers, line-scan detectors and computed radiography (CR) detectors. A
rapid increase in demand for digital X-ray systems has led to incorporation of
newer detection technologies such as flat panel detectors and charge coupled
device (CCD) detectors. Moreover, with further advancement in research, an
X-ray machine can have a large area or small area flat panel detector.
A difference in the size of detector
matters for different applications or subjects to be scanned. Advance
fluoroscopy and C-arm systems incorporate flat panel detectors. Other X-ray
detectors available in the market include gas ionization detectors,
scintillation, gas-filled detectors, semiconductor detectors and gas electron
multiplying detectors.
Further, based on the applications or
end-use, the global X-ray detectors market is categorized into dental, medical,
veterinary, industrial, and security applications market. Medical applications
include general radiography, surgical imaging, cardiovascular imaging and
mammography.
X-Ray
Detectors Market: Drivers
Increasing prevalence of chronic disorders
such as arthritis, orthopedic diseases, and respiratory diseases is driving the
demand for X-ray imaging and hence the market for X-ray detectors. Moreover,
increasing number of diagnostic centers worldwide fueled by growing need for
early diagnosis is propelling the demand for advance X-ray systems, thus
contributing to the growth of X-ray detectors market. Additionally, more time
consuming, low sensitivity and the need for processing after exposure is
culminating the demand for photographic films and boosting the demand for flat
panel detectors and line-scan detectors.
X-Ray Detectors
Market: Region-wise Outlook
Geographically, the global X-ray detectors
market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the
World. The market for X-ray detectors will be growing rapidly in the regions
where the demand for X-ray systems is increasing. This basic fact marks the
potential of X-ray detectors in Asia Pacific and Latin America regions where
along with the demand for X-ray systems, manufacturing capacity is also
increasing. Increasing adoption of digital X-ray systems is touted to fuel the
demand for X-ray detectors in Asia Pacific.
Further, emerging economies such as India,
China, Brazil, Russia and Mexico are target markets for companies offering
X-ray equipment owing to rapidly growing economy and presence of untapped
opportunities in these countries. GE Healthcare bought a Brazilian X-ray
equipment firm Xpro in 2012 to increase its market presence in the Latin
America region.
X-Ray
Detectors Market: Key Players
Some of the key players present in the
global X-ray detectors market include Varian Medical Systems, PerkinElmer,
Inc., Agfa Healthcare, Analogic Corporation, Canon Inc., Konica Minolta, Inc.,
Teledyne Technologies, Inc., Thales Group and Fujifilm Medical Systems and
others. Intense competition is compelling market players to innovate in their
product and marketing strategy. Teledyne Technologies, Inc. introduced two new
models of X-ray detector Shad-o-Box 3K HS and Shad-o-Box 6K HS in March 2014,
which utilizes latest generation CMOS X-ray technology offering higher
resolution and faster imaging of objects.
