Key Highlights

  • The healthcare system witnessed enormous challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Several outpatient treatments were postponed or restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce the risk of viral transmission. Most chronic therapies were regarded as non-urgent. However, several imaging diagnostic technologies were widely available for COVID-19 diagnosis. The widespread use of diagnostic imaging technology during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly added to the market growth during the pandemic period.
  • Moreover, an article published in the Indian Journal of Radiology Imaging in January 2021 indicated a limitation in non-urgent imaging during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused the rescheduling of mammograms, and other such screenings for diversion of the facility for COVID-19 care. Such postponement during the pandemic increased demand for imaging services. Currently, the market is regaining its growth pace owing to the normalization of the situation coupled with an increasing burden of injuries and road accidents.
  • The major factors driving the market growth in North America include the increasing geriatric population and the incidence of chronic diseases, and advancements in maneuverability and imaging capabilities. Moreover, the rising number of sports injury cases is expected to impact the North American c-arms market's growth significantly.
  • For instance, according to the National Security Council (NSC) 2021 data on sports and recreational injuries, in the year 2021, over 3.2 million people were admitted to emergency departments in the United States for injuries involving sports and recreational equipment, including exercise, cycling, and basketball. Also, the number of exercise-related injuries increased in 2021, with over 409,224 injuries reported in the year 2021, compared to 377,939 injuries reported in 2020. The wide application of C-arms in emergency procedures for injury management is expected to significantly impact the growth of the North American c-arms market during the forecast period.
  • Moreover, according to the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) commentary on chronic disease prevention published in April 2022, around 40% of the adults in the United States were affected by multiple chronic conditions, with more than half of the population affected by high blood pressure. Also, as per the Canadian Cancer Statistics released in November 2022, an estimated 233,900 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Also, according to the estimates, over 1.5 million people in Canada were affected by cancer, with the majority of the cancer cases attributed to an older age. The region's large population affected by chronic diseases is expected to boost market growth over the forecast period.
  • Several key market players have also introduced various c-arm equipment, likely to boost the growth of the North American c-arm market. For instance, in July 2022, Fujifilm launched its FDR Cross hybrid c-arm and portable x-ray system in the United States. The dual-function c-arm offers portable fluoroscopic and radiographic imaging on a single platform, reducing the need to bring additional imaging equipment for essential image-guided procedures.
  • Moreover, in May 2021, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved the Cios Flow, a mobile C-arm designed for use by multiple disciplines in the operating room, including orthopedics, trauma surgery, spinal surgery, vascular surgery, and pain therapy. Such activities are expected to add to the growth of the C-arms market in North America over the forecast period.
  • Thus, factors such as the growing burden of chronic diseases and approvals from regulatory bodies are major propelling factors contributing to the market's growth. However, the high procedural and equipment costs and the low replacement rates of c-arm systems will likely hinder the growth of the North American c-arms market during the forecast period.

C-Arm Application in Cardiology is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period

  • C-arm computed tomography in cardiac imaging offers the potential for three-dimensional imaging of the cardiac anatomy within the interventional environment. This detailed view is necessary to support complex interventional strategies, such as transcutaneous valve replacement, interventional therapy ofaatrial fibrillation, implantation of biventricular pacemakers, and assessment of myocardial perfusion.
  • The large prevalence of cardiac disorders and the growing geriatric population in the region is expected to boost the market segment growth. For instance, the Heart and Stroke Foundation (HSF) of Canada in February 2022 indicated that over 750,000 people were living with a type of heart failure in Canada. Also, every year, over 100,000 people are diagnosed with heart failure condition in the country. The article also estimated that by 2030, the healthcare costs associated with heart failure in Canada are expected to reach USD 2.8 billion per year. The large prevalence of heart conditions in the nation is likely to boost the demand for c-arms, which is expected to propel the growth of the studied market segment over the forecast period.
  • In addition, the recent product launches and collaborations in the region are expected to boost the market's growth. For instance, in April 2022, GE Healthcare and Medtronic PLC signed a collaboration focused on the unique needs and demand for care at Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Office Based Labs (OBLs). Fixed c-arm imaging systems have been used more and more frequently in ASCs and OBLs for cardiac and peripheral vascular procedures. Such activities are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period.
  • Thus, the cardiology segment in the North American c-arms market is expected to have significant growth over the forecast period owing to a high burden of cardiac diseases and strategic initiatives taken by the market players and others.
