China's X-ray systems market is primed for significant growth this decade.
Globaldata predicts the sector will swell 9% annually through 2030, partly fueled by China-based Medwish.com's global expansion of its digital X-ray business. The company recently launched a new portable medical digital X-ray imaging machine that is currently available in healthcare facilities. Through its City Partner Program, Medwish.com aims to develop a core point of contact for its digital X-ray business, primarily in the central cities of Africa, Asia, and America. The City Partner Program coordinates with the local customers to fulfil their purchase and service requirements.
“China will continue to dominate the Asia-Pacific (APAC) digital X-ray systems market, accounting for approximately 50% of the market through 2030, followed by Japan and India,” said Ayshi Ganguly, a medical devices analyst at GlobalData.
With the growing dependence of orthopedic disorders and malignancies on X-ray-aided diagnosis, there is an increasing demand for digital radiology over traditional radiography as it offers advantages such as hassle-free screening resulting in higher image quality with minimal radiation dosage.
“Companies such as Canon Inc. and Fujifilm Holdings Corp. have recently introduced new wireless and portable digital radiography devices that provide better functionality and performance. With such continuous innovations being made in this field, the APAC medical imaging industry will surely witness a paradigm shift in the coming years,” Ganguly said.
