Digital X-Ray Market Analysis and Forecast to 2031: By Application (Orthopedic, Cancer, Dental, Cardiovascular, Others), Technology (Computed Radiography, Direct Radiography), Portability (Fixed System, Portable Systems), End User (Hospital, Diagnostic Centers, Others), and Region

The digital X-ray market was valued at USD 11.4 billion in 2021 and it is anticipated to reach up to USD 24.5 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period.

Digital radiology is a radiographic technique that uses X-ray-sensitive plates to capture data directly while patient examination. Digital radiology is an advanced technique of X-ray inspection that produces the radiographic image on a computer. The picture is substituted by the sensor that collects the data in digital radiology. Digital radiology is applied in medical imaging. Digital radiology is suggested as a significant choice for clinical diagnosis, due to high-quality picture processing and less radiation exposure. Manufacturers focus on increasing qualities, comprising contrast, sharpness, and the ability to inspect injuries in real-time. Technological advancements in X-ray imaging improved diagnostic accuracy and minimized radiation dosages.

Global Digital X-ray Market Scope and Report Structure

Market Trends and Drivers

The continuous technological advancements and product development are boosting the growth of the market. Technological advancements are a crucial factor in the growth of the digital X-ray market. Factors like image quality, image acquisition time, portability, detector form, and software create and rise in the demand for digital X-ray systems. The demand for advanced digital X-ray systems increases owing to benefits like their ability to process large volumes of data and examine patients rapidly. Various companies are developing digital systems with improved performance and efficiency. These systems enable radiologists to address a broad range of clinical applications with diagnostic-quality images and stitching functionality. Innovation and the development of advanced systems help boost the market for digital X-ray systems.

Market Restraints and Challenges

The key factor hindering the growth of the market is the high cost of digital x-ray systems. Digital X-ray systems are priced at a premium and require high investments for installations, which boosts the procedural cost for patients as well. This affects the adoption rate of new systems, especially in emerging economies. Most small and medium-sized hospitals cannot afford these systems, as their budgets are low or restricted. Healthcare facilities that purchase such costly systems often depend on third-party payers (like Medicare, Medicaid, or private health insurance plans) for reimbursements for costs incurred in diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic procedures performed using these systems. The high cost of digital X-ray systems also pushes end users toward refurbished systems, directly affecting the sales of new and advanced systems. This, along with continuous cuts in reimbursements for Digital X-ray scans, prevents imaging centers from investing in technologically advanced Digital X-ray modalities, which hinders the growth of the overall market.

Major Players in the Global Digital X-ray Market

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the economy in 2020 and presented various challenges to clinical healthcare providers and patients across the world. COVID-19 has also impacted various stages of the value chain, primarily owing to strict lockdowns imposed by the governments of most countries. The turnaround time for the delivery of products and services has also been affected owing to newer packaging protocols and lockdown measures imposed by countries. All these factors are negatively impacting the manufacturing and supply chain of digital X-ray systems.

Still, COVID-19 has unleashed new opportunities for digital X-ray manufacturers and healthcare providers. In settings where laboratory testing (RT-PCR) is not available, or results are delayed or are initially negative, chest imaging has been considered as an alternative approach for patients with suspected or probable COVID-19. Imaging, comprising chest radiography, CT scans, and lung ultrasounds, has been studied to complement clinical evaluation and laboratory parameters in managing patients already diagnosed with COVID-19. According to the WHO, chest radiography can be helpful in the dynamic evaluation of COVID-19 pneumonia and its complications. Resolution or the progress of lung consolidation seen on a bedside chest radiograph can help caregivers make better therapeutic management decisions. Chest imaging can also inform the management of pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum.
