Abstract
Chapter
Reflecting the improvement in China' s strong economic development and the
consequential increase in investment in healthcare, the Chinese market for
ultrasound imaging equipment is forecast with strong revenue growth during the
period 2008 to 2012. The replacement of entry-level and low-end black & white
ultrasound units by higher-priced colour systems, has additionally fuelled
growth in this market. Consequently, a rising number of local manufacturers
have entered the colour market, increasing competition and presenting one of
the greatest challenges to multi-national companies in the Chinese ultrasound
market. In 2007, black & white systems were estimated to account for 85% of
the total market. This segment of the market is forecast to decline at a CAGR
of -9.9%. However, the strong trend to colour systems will ensure that the
Chinese market for ultrasound imaging equipment will continue to grow strongly
for many years to come.
The study will provide the following:
- Detailed market analysis by black & white and colour ultrasound equipment
- Review of major trends, such as the movement from black & white systems to
colour ultrasound equipment, and increasing competition from local
manufacturers
