Market Trends of X-Ray Detectors Industry
Medical Applications to Grow Significantly Over the Forecast Period
- Over the past few years, the expansion of the diagnostics and medical imaging sector has indicated a global demand for medical X-ray detectors. The medical devices industry is witnessing a growth in the number of imaging and diagnostic tests performed yearly owing to increasing focus on radiological diagnostic tests, rising chronic disease burden, and introduction of efficient X-ray instruments through consolidation and mergers in the medical appliances market.
- According to the UN data on World Population Prospects, the number of people over 65 is steadily increasing. By 2050, the world's population aged 60 years and older is anticipated to reach 2 billion, of which 80% will live in lower and middle-income nations.
- Hence, the rising geriatric population and an increasing number of orthopedic and cardiovascular procedures would further drive the adoption of X-ray detectors in medical applications. Also, the growing incidence of trauma, sports injuries, and cancer denotes a significant patient pool opting for diagnostic imaging tests annually, particularly in emerging countries. The ever-increasing prevalence of lung diseases further drives the need for effective screening methods to detect chest abnormalities, which supports the demand for X-ray detectors.
- For instance, in November 2022, In Smiths Detection, a provider of threat detection and security inspection technologies, announced that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Navratna Defence PSU (public sector undertakings) Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) for the manufacture of advanced X-ray screening technologies in India. Such strategic collaborations are driving the demand for the X-ray detector market.
- The Indian healthcare industry reached USD 190 billion previously, and according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, it is expected to reach USD 370 billion by 2024-2025. This increase is due to the growing demand for specialized, higher-quality healthcare facilities. In addition, public spending on healthcare in India is predicted to increase by 2.5% by 2025.
- According to the Department of Commerce (India), at the end of fiscal year 2022, the export value for surgical instruments from India was approximately USD 512 million. A consistent increase in the export value of such devices was seen over the past several years.

United States is Expected to Account for Significant Market Share
- The rapid technological development in the medical field is now being merged with the technologies, such as advanced X-ray detectors. There is a strong focus on improving the health conditions of people, as well as tackling the adverse effects of rising health diseases and infections. Therefore, there needs to be a constant diagnostic and monitoring service driving the Market in the United States.
- In the United States, Health and Human Services (H.H.S.), governed by the cabinet-level department of the United States, is highly liberal in funding and maintaining technological research in medical sciences. According to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, over 2022-2031, average growth in NHE (5.4%) is projected to outpace that of average G.D.P. growth (4.6%), resulting in an increase in the health spending share of G.D.P. from 18.3% in recently to 19.6% in 2031.
- The United States is witnessing a rise in the senior population and a surge in chronic diseases due to sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits. Moreover, rising medical infrastructure developments with increased medical facilities are expected to propel the demand for the medical X-ray detectors market in the United States.
- For instance, according to 2022 statistics published by the American Heart Association, the prevalence rate of heart failure in the United States is 6 million, 1.8% of the total population in the previous year. Additionally, according to 2022 statistics published by the International Diabetes Federation, people with diabetes are projected to reach 3,288.2 thousand by 2030 and 3,468.5 thousand by 2045.
- Companies such as Samsung Electronics, Cannon, and Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A. are strategically investing in producing new X-ray systems, which use X-ray detectors, and mobile X-ray systems, which use X-ray detectors. The production of these systems is anticipated to increase the use of X-ray detectors.
- For instance, in November 2022, Canon Medical Components U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Canon Inc., announced a new product line-up at the Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) conference. Canon Medical Components U.S.A., Inc. displays several innovative products, some of which are available for the first time in the U.S. The CXDI-Elite series of Canon Medical Components U.S.A. has high sensitivity, high image quality, ultra-lightweight, ergonomic design for extended battery life, ease of handling, and AED4 function. This factor makes the CXDI-Elite the ideal digital radiography detector for mobile applications or any general X-ray need. The unique functions, Intelligent N.R., and Built-in AEC5 assistance expand the digital radiography possibilities.
