Abstract
Description
This is the first edition of InMedica' s new report examining the world market
for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment. While the MRI equipment
market is mature and replacement in nature, InMedica has highlighted a shift
in product mix to ultra-high field strengths, and growth in the
‘economy' segments of the market.
As 1.5T systems have replaced lower field strengths as ‘standard' in
today' s MRI market, so the market is expected to see the greater use of
higher-field strength systems. Increases in market share for ultra-high field
MRI equipment are evident throughout the forecast period, and it is expected
in turn, that these 3.0T systems will become a future industry
‘standard' . However, the dominant driver of growth in the global MRI
market is the need for cost-effective systems for use in routine imaging.
Fuelled by cost containment pressures and reductions in reimbursement rates,
this has resulted in growth in the ‘economy' segments of the industry.
At present the market for refurbished MRI systems presents one of the greatest
challenges for the new systems MRI market.
This report contains over 80 highly detailed tables and figures, compiled
after extensive research & industry consultation, answering key questions
such as:
- To what extent will new technologies affect the market over the next few
years, for example the increase in field strengths?
- How will government legislation and cost-containment strategies in
healthcare affect the world market for MRI equipment over the next five years,
and to what extent will this impact the market?
- To what extent will the Deficit Reduction Act and changes in reimbursement
in the US not only affect the local market, but also the world market for MRI
systems?
- How will trends in population demographics and in healthcare provision
affect this mature market during the forecast period?
This highly numerical report from InMedica is designed to provide marketing
and technical executives with an up-to-date, comprehensive description of the
world market for MRI equipment and to identify trends that will impact the
market over the next five years. The report contains detailed revenue, unit
shipment and average selling price (ASP) analysis on the world market, with
growth rate forecasts to 2012. Numerous market segmentations by product type
are provided, as well as regional statistics including by geographical region
(EMEA, Americas and Asia Pacific) and further by major sub-region (Western
Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, North America, Latin America,
Japan, China & Rest of Asia Pacific). Qualitative analysis accompanies all the
statistical data, describing key growth drivers and significant market trends.
The report also contains a comprehensive analysis of the competitive
environment. A total of 20 market share tables are presented, with estimated
market shares for the leading suppliers of MRI equipment for each product
