Abstract
The US market for X-ray systems, comprising cardiovascular X-ray systems,
general radiography systems, surgical X-ray systems, fluoroscopy systems, and
mobile radiography systems, was valued at nearly $2.9 billion in 2007 and will
experience moderate growth over the forecast period
This growth will be attributable to the continued transition from analog
imaging systems to higher-value digital systems and increased procedural
demand from an aging domestic population. The market will be restrained,
however, by a large existing installed base of systems and high average
selling prices (ASPs). Most health care facilities already possess an X-ray
system appropriate for their needs and can refrain from upgrading if they
determine the price to be uneconomical. As a result, the US market for X-ray
systems will grow moderately through 2012.
