According to the market research analysts at Technavio, the global fluoroscopy C-arms market is anticipated to witness steady growth and will post a moderate CAGR of more than 4% over the forecast period. Advances in technology and upgradation in equipment is easing diagnostic procedures considerably, which is one of the major factors driving this market’s growth. In the field of medical imaging, new products with improved features and parameters are preferred by end-users across the globe. The latest fluoroscopy systems are equipped with high-quality image intensifiers and spectral shaping filters to provide high-clarity images. Moreover, radiation-reduction devices are attached to the existing fluoroscopy systems to make them safe for use by radiologists. In addition, installing inverter generators with medium frequency enables high-performance switching capability in fluoroscopy devices, which is leading to their increased adoption during the forecast period.
In terms of geography, the Americas led the global fluoroscopy C-arms market and is expected to continue its dominance over the coming years. The largest revenue contributor to this region was the US because of the growing elderly population and increased number of surgical procedures. Also, technological advancements in the areas of product design and application, as well as the availability of reimbursements from Medicare and the replacement of fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm components will contribute to this market’s growth in the region.
The global fluoroscopy C-arms market is characterized by the presence of intense competition among the vendors owing to the development and marketing of innovating fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm equipment. The market is highly fragmented because of the presence of several large, medium, and small-sized companies. The advances in technology and product upgradation will increase competition among vendors.
Key vendors in this market are -
Other prominent vendors in the market include Allengers Medical Systems, EcoRay, Eurocolumbus, Hologic, INTERMEDICAL, ITALRAY, Omega Medical Imaging, OrthoScan, and Toshiba Medical Systems.
During 2015, the full-size C-arms market segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market and is likely to hold most of the market shares during the forecast period. Full-size C-arms find extensive applications in various procedures such as cardiology, pain management, and surgeries, as well as in swallow tests that use barium X-rays in studying the spine and torso, leading to its augmented demand and increased adoption in healthcare facilities.
The hospitals' segment was the largest end-user segment during 2015 owing to the increased adoption of sophisticated and advanced imaging systems in large-sized hospitals. The majority of hospitals have budget constraints so they cannot afford high-end medical imaging equipment. Therefore, to overcome this challenge, many Tier1 manufacturing companies like GE Healthcare have come up with new strategies to improve the utility of imaging devices, especially C-arm devices. With the help and support of government bodies, GE Healthcare has formed strategic partnerships with many hospitals across the globe, to create and upgrade the trained workforce for using these devices effectively, which will aid in the increased adoption of fluoroscopy C-arm devices in hospitals.
