The Global Medical X-Ray Detectors Market Size is valued at 2.25 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 3.37 billion by the year 2031 at a 4.78% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
X-ray detectors transform the energy carried by radiation into shapes that may be detected electronically or visually. In the fields of medicine, industry, security, veterinary medicine, and dentistry, these detectors are known to have a wide range of uses. The market is seeing an increase in demand for mobile equipment, particularly from end users, including oil and gas, power generation, etc., who need it to examine equipment situated in remote places that is inaccessible using conventional X-ray inspection methods. Furthermore, mobile X-ray equipment is being produced in big quantities owing to the market's inspection service providers, who greatly profit from it. Manufacturers are diversifying their product lines to meet the needs of industrial users as a result of this demand.
However, the high cost of products is negatively affecting the medical X-ray detector market. Traditional X-ray systems are less expensive than C-arms, which limits their deployment in low- and middle-income nations. Also, extra expenses related to C-arm accessories push up healthcare facilities' budgets, which in turn restrains the adoption of C-arms.
The medical X-Ray detectors market is segmented on the basis of product, application, modalities, module type, and end-user. The product segment includes flat panel detectors, medical x-ray detectors market, and computed radiography detectors. Flat panel detectors are further segmented into type (indirect and direct), panel size (large area and small area), and panel connection (tethered and wireless). By application, the market has been categorized into static imaging and dynamic imaging. The Modalities segment includes portable detectors and fixed detectors. By module type, the market has been segmented into new digital x-ray systems and retrofit x-ray systems. By End-use, the market has been segmented into hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers.
The portable detector category is expected to hold a major share of the global medical x-ray detectors market in 2022. The portable detector for these procedures should have a sizable viewing area and be both small in size and light in weight. Large-area FPDS is frequently employed in radiography applications (the largest application area for X-ray detectors). Large-area FPDS is used in these applications to obtain better pictures by enclosing the entire radiation-exposed area.
The hospitals & clinics segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global medical x-ray detectors market owing to the aging of the population, an increase in cardiovascular, orthopedic, and mammography treatments, as well as technological developments in X-ray equipment, are all factors fueling the expansion of the market for medical applications.
Asia Pacific medical x-ray detectors market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The significant number of senior people with chronic illnesses, rising income levels that improve access to healthcare facilities, government initiatives to support the healthcare industry, and increasing use of cutting-edge medical technologies are all factors in Asia-rapid Pacific's market expansion. In addition, North America is projected to grow rapidly in the global medical x-ray detectors market due to the demand for the medical X-ray detectors market in the U. S, which is also anticipated to be driven by expanding medical infrastructure projects and an increase in medical facilities.
