Drivers: Advantages of FPDs over image intensifiers

The evolution of C-arms—from the traditional X-ray image intensifier technology to digital flat-panel detectors (FPDs)—has brought about significant advancements in surgical imaging. FPDs have a number of advantages over image intensifiers, such as compact size and reduced radiation dose. Although resolution varies from model to model, FPDs have the ability to produce a more consistent, high-quality digital image.

While the quality of images generated from traditional image intensifiers deteriorates as the system ages, this is not the case with FPDs. They continue to deliver the same image quality even years after use and can provide a wider and more dynamic range of imaging compared to image intensifiers. Additionally, in the case of image intensifiers, the field of vision is reduced with higher magnification; this does not happen if FPDs are used.

Restrains: High price of surgical imaging systems

Owing to their advanced features and functionalities, mobile C-arms are generally expensive and cost above USD 200,000. Advanced mobile C-arms are equipped with powerful generators (up to 20kW), which enable the penetration of dense anatomies. GE Healthcare’s OEC 9900 Elite and Ziehm Imaging’s Vision RFD are among the most expensive mobile C-arms manufactured. The large image displays in these mobile C-arms enable a precise evaluation of the images while allowing surgeons to view and analyze these images at a distance.

In addition to the high purchase cost, these equipment have several other direct expenses for printers and DICOM boxes, which results in an overall increase in the total cost of ownership. Due to the requirement of significant capital expenditure, many small and medium-sized institutions find it hard to purchase these equipment.

Opportunities: Emerging markets and growing medical tourism

Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) are among the fastest-growing economies in the world. According to the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), it is projected that by 2028, China will overtake the US to become the world’s largest economy. Similarly, India is expected to become the third-largest economy in the world by 2030.

More than half of the world’s population resides in India and China, owing to which these countries are home to a large patient base. The increasing burden of cancer, improvements in healthcare infrastructure, the presence of a less-stringent regulatory environment, and growing medical tourism are encouraging players in the surgical imaging market to increase their presence in emerging countries.

The hospitals end user segment to hold the largest market share in 2020

Based on end users, the market is divided into hospitals and surgery centers. Hospitals are expected to account for the largest share of the surgical imaging market in 2020, while surgery centers are expected to account for the highest growth rate. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the rising demand for effective disease management, growing surgical procedural volumes in hospitals, and the increasing number of hospitals being set up in developing countries.
