The global x-ray imaging market was
valued at $8,897.3 million
in 2015, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during 2016-2022. Based
on portability of x-ray imaging devices, the portable x-ray segment is expected
to witness the faster growth, CAGR of 7.2%, during the forecast period.
The
global x ray
imaging market is growing at a
significant rate, due to increasing healthcare expenditure, and growing
geriatric population. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and
improving healthcare infrastructure in developing countries are also driving
the growth of the global x-ray imaging market.
X-rays
are fragments of natural electromagnetic spectrum. Medical x-rays are used to
generate images of tissues and structure inside the body. It is produced
artificially by decelerating high-velocity electrons, with the help of X-ray
tube. The x-rays when passed through the body are made to strike through a
photographic film, which results in formation of the image of the area. The
areas of the film exposed by x-ray are dark, whereas the unexposed areas are
transparent. Now-a-days an X-ray image can also be stored in a digital form on
a computer. The factors,
such as stringent regulatory requirements for the approval of x-ray imaging
devices and increasing risk
of cancer, due to exposure to radiation are inhibiting the growth of the global market.
