Digital X-ray Devices Market Growth & Trends

The global digital X-ray devices market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period. Factors, such as the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders, rapid technological advancements, and increasing patient understanding of early diagnostic techniques, are all augmenting the industry's growth. The lightweight, wireless, and robust cassette-sized detector used in DR technology, which can transform analog X-rays into complete digital radiography solutions, makes it an effective technology. With the use of this technology, digital X-ray images are produced, which eliminates the need for film or Computed Radiography (CR) plates.

In addition, compared to its digital counterpart, film-based traditional radiography requires more manpower, and even the consumables utilized are more expensive. Chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular, COPD, CKD, and diabetes, are the major causes of death among adults in developing as well as developed countries. According to the WHO, chronic disorders account for about 41 million deaths globally, which is equivalent to 74% of all fatalities worldwide. Digital X-ray technology helps in the early intervention of such disorders, thus boosting its demand. Moreover, compared to traditional X-rays, this technology provides a number of benefits including 70% less radiation, better image quality, and less acquisition time.

Rapid technological advancements, such as the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), reduced X-ray dosage exposure, and high-resolution imaging is also expected to accelerate industry growth. For instance, in October 2021, Samsung partnered with VUNO, a South Korean AI medical software firm, to integrate VUNO’s AI-assisted solutions into Samsung’s digital radiography system. The key industry players are implementing various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, and expansions to gain higher market shares. For instance, in April 2022, Samsung introduced the GM85 Fit, a mobile digital radiography device. This system is anticipated to support effective and efficient patient care.
