The World Market for Mammography X-Ray Equipment - 2009 Edition

The third edition of InMedica' s report on the world market for mammography X-ray equipment has highlighted how this market is forecast to continue to grow strongly despite the restrictions in healthcare expenditure and the current economic crisis that are so heavily affecting other areas of the X-ray equipment market. While the market has stalled in 2009 due to the saturation of the US market, the transition to digital mammography systems outside of the US is forecast to drive growth in this market. Additionally, there is geographical variation in breast cancer incidence; developed countries such as Western Europe or the US have significantly higher incidence than developing countries in Asia Pacific, South America and Africa. Breast cancer has now become one of the most common cancers amongst women in Asia. The implementation of screening programs here and the continued development of screening programs in developed countries, remain as the largest drivers of growth in the mammography X-ray equipment market.

This report contains over 80 highly detailed tables and figures, compiled after extensive research & industry consultation, answering key questions such as:

• How has the development of full-field digital mammography affected the market since the 2007 edition of the report, and how it is expected to drive the market over the next few years?
