Computed Radiography Market Analysis
The Computed Radiography Market is expected to grow at the registered CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period, 2022-2027.
Many radiology departments have significantly reduced diagnostic imaging operations due to public policy, financial difficulties, and patient concerns. It significantly affected radiology departments' short- and long-term financial viability in all practice settings. This reduced imaging case volumes across all patient service locations (emergency room, inpatient, outpatient) and all imaging modality types (x-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine). According to Jason J. Naidich's article 'Impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic on Imaging Case Volumes', published in May 2020, total imaging volume in the first half of 2020 declined by 12.29% compared with 2019. Post-COVID-19 revealed a greater decrease (28.10%) in imaging volumes across all patient service locations and modality types. This trend suggests that the imaging techniques decreased the volumes affecting the market.
The computed radiography market is driven by the rise in the prevalence of orthopedic and other chronic diseases coupled with the technological advancement in the computed radiography system. According to the article published in the eClinical Medicine in December 2020, titled "Global, Regional Prevalence, Incidence and Risk Factors of Knee Osteoarthritis in Population-Based Studies," individuals aged 15 and older had a global incidence of 16.0%, while those aged 40 and above had a global prevalence of 22.9%. In 2020, roughly 654 million people (40 years and older) will have knee OA. Thus, the increased prevalence of osteoarthritis globally will boost the market over the forecast period.
The increase in radiology examinations in the country is also positively impacting the usage of computed radiography devices in the market. According to National Health Services (NHS) report Radiology in 2020, there has been a consistent, ongoing growth in demand for radiology services.
Merger and acquisitions among various market players to expand their computed radiography devices portfolio in the market will also drive the market's growth in the future. For instance, in July 2020, Shimadzu Medical Systems and Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. announced a collaborative agreement to accelerate the commercialization of dynamic digital radiography (DDR).
Recent developments and technological advancements in computed radiography also boost the market during the forecast period. For instance, in August 2021, in Kyoto, Japan, Shimadzu launched the state-of-the-art mobile X-ray system "MobileArt Evolution MX8 Version" in Japan. The system is developed to be used in combination with a conventional computed radiography cassette-type X-ray receptor.
Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to boost the market over the forecast period. However, the lack of high initial installation cost and cost of devices are the major restraining factors for the market studied.
Computed Radiography Industry Segmentation
As per the scope of the report, Computed radiography (CR) is the digital replacement of conventional X-ray film radiography and provides significant benefits for examination procedures, and the time it takes to create an image is greatly reduced. The Computed Radiography Market is Segmented by Application (Orthopedic, Cancer, Dental, Cardiovascular, Other Applications), End-use (Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, Other End Users), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America).
