Fluoroscopy and C - Arms Market

Market Overview

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that makes use of X – Ray technology for taking real-time images of the body, allowing physicians to visualize internal organs, muscles, and bones; and helps them make critical decisions during surgery with minimum patient discomfort. Initially fluoroscopy devices used image intensifiers; however new technology based fluoroscopy devices use flat panel detectors for digital image processing that significantly reduces the radiation dose administered to the patient.

The global Fluoroscopy and C - Arms market is likely to exhibit a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2016-2024) with market revenue expected to increase from US$ 2,901.3 Mn in 2015 to US$ 4,290.5 Mn by 2024.

Factors and trends influencing the market

Rising awareness of interventional surgeries is expected to fuel revenue growth of the global Fluoroscopy & C - Arms market over the forecast period. Also, a shift towards a value based healthcare model, increasing number of hospital mergers and consolidations, increasing adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, a growing demand for enhanced imaging technology, and rising demand for C – Arms in cardiology and vascular surgery is likely to boost market growth in the coming years.

However, high cost of fluoroscopy devices and C - Arms is likely to restrict market growth during the forecast period. The global Fluoroscopy & C – Arms market presents good opportunities for leading market players owing to an increasing demand for C – Arms in emerging markets. The market is likely to witness some key trends in the next few years – the primary one being an increased use of mobile C – Arms as compared to fixed systems.
