Canada Digital X-Ray Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Canada Digital X-Ray Devices Market Analysis

The Canada Digital X-Ray Devices Market size is estimated at USD 707.93 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 994.31 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.03% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

COVID-19 has made a significant impact on the market studied. Lockdowns were implemented in various Canadian provinces from March 2020, and non-urgent imaging studies with diagnostic screenings were restricted and even temporarily halted. As a result, screening volumes decreased but healthcare organizations maintained to ensure that safety measures were in place to protect patients and healthcare workers. According to an article published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology in September 2021, titled "The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Cardiac Procedure Wait List Mortality in Ontario, Canada," when compared to the pre-pandemic period, the number of referrals and procedures completed during the pandemic period was significantly lower. This decrease in the number of referrals greatly reduced the diagnostic scans in the country, having an unfavourable impact on the market studied.

The major factors attributing to the growth of digital X-ray devices are the increasing incidence of orthopedic diseases, dental and cardiovascular surgeries, and cancer, rising technological advancements coupled with an increasing spectrum of applications of these devices. For instance, as per the Canadian Cancer Statistics report published in 2021, the estimated number of people expected to be diagnosed with cancer in Canada was around 229,200. The high number of cancer cases indicate the need for relaible and accurate diagnosis methods which include diagnosis with imaging techniques such as CT scans and MRIs. Therefore, high cancer incidence in the country is believed to act as one of the leading factor for the market studied in Canada.

Canada Digital X-Ray Devices Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of this report, As per the scope of this report, digital X-ray or digital radiography is a form of X-ray imaging where digital X-ray sensors are used instead of traditional photographic films. This has an added advantage of time efficiency and the ability to transfer images digitally, as well as enhance them for better visibility. This method bypasses the chemical processing of photographic films. Digital X-ray imaging has high demand, as it requires less radiation exposure compared to traditional X-rays. Canada Digital X-Ray Devices market is segmented by Application (Orthopedic, Cancer, Dental, Cardiovascular, and other applications), Technology (Computed Radiography and Direct Radiography), Portability (Fixed Systems, and Portable Systems), End-User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, Other End Users). The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
