X-Ray Devices Market Dynamics:

According to data provided by the World Health Organization in 2024, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) stated that 20 million new instances of cancer were registered in 2022 globally. As per the same source, lung cancer accounted for 2.5 million new cases globally, of all the registered new cancer cases, making it the most common cancer. Next in order of incidence was breast cancer with 2.3 million cases, colon cancer with 1.9 million cases, and stomach cancer with 0.97 million cases globally.

The Global Cancer Observatory (2024), estimated that the new instances of cancer globally would reach from 20 million to 24.1 million by the year 2030. It stated that Asia accounted for 9,826,539 cancer cases, Europe accounted for 4,471,422 cancer cases, LAC accounted for 1,551,060 cancer cases, and Africa accounted for 1,185,216 cancer cases.

As per recent data provided by the World Heart Report (2023), in 2021 it was stated that more than half a billion people were living with cardiovascular diseases globally. Further, according to recent data provided by the American Heart Association (2023), it is estimated that by 2030 over 12 million people will have atrial fibrillation globally. According to British Heart Foundation, Global Heart & Circulatory Diseases Factsheet (2024), it stated that around 200 million people are living with CAD around the world.

The recent data provided by the World Health Organization (2023), more than 1 billion adults, about 19% of the global population, are affected by severe periodontal diseases annually. Also, as per data from the World Health Organization Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), oral illnesses afflict around 3.5 billion people globally, with middle-income nations accounting for three out of every four cases. The source stated that 514 million children worldwide suffered from primary tooth caries, whereas an estimated 2 billion adults worldwide suffered from caries of permanent teeth annually on average.

X-ray devices play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of various health conditions, particularly in cancer, cardiovascular, and dental care. In oncology, X-rays are used to detect tumors, guide biopsies, and monitor the progress of cancer treatment. They help identify abnormal masses, assess the spread of the disease, and guide radiation therapy planning. In cardiovascular care, X-rays, particularly in the form of chest X-rays and angiograms, are employed to visualize heart and lung conditions, detect heart enlargement, evaluate blood vessel blockages, and assist in the placement of stents or pacemakers. For dental health, X-rays are essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as cavities, gum disease, abscesses, impacted teeth, and bone loss. They provide detailed images of teeth, roots, and surrounding bone, enabling accurate treatment planning for restorative and orthodontic procedures.

Hence, the interplay of all the above-mentioned factors is expected to drive the market for X-ray devices during the given forecast period from 2024 to 2030.

However, repeated exposure associated with the risk of radiation-induced conditions like skin burns, hair loss, and in extreme cases, radiation sickness and the availability of alternative options, among others may restrict the market growth.

X-Ray Devices Market Segment Analysis:

X-Ray Devices Market by Product Type (Analog and Digital), Portability (Fixed and Portable), Technology (Direct Radiography and Computed Radiography), Application (Orthopedic, Dental, Cardiovascular Diseases, Oncology, and Others) End-User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Centers, and Others), and Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)

In the portability segment of the X-ray devices market, the portable category is expected to have a significant revenue share in the year 2023. This is due to the availability of various technologically advanced portable X-ray devices. Portable X-ray devices are compact, lightweight, and highly versatile imaging tools that offer several key features and applications in medical settings. Their portability allows for quick and convenient imaging at the point of care, whether in emergency rooms, intensive care units, operating theaters, or even in remote and field settings.

Portable X-ray devices are commonly used for diagnosing fractures, lung infections, and pneumothorax, as well as for monitoring lines and tubes in intensive care settings. They also have applications in trauma care, neonatal imaging, and home healthcare, providing immediate diagnostic information and facilitating timely decision-making.

Additionally, product developmental activities by key players in providing robust product portfolio are also escalating the market for the same. For example, in July 2022, Fujifilm Holdings Corp., launched FDR CROSS an innovative hybrid C-arm and portable X-ray device designed to deliver high-quality fluoroscopic and static X-ray images during surgeries and other medical procedures.

Therefore, the widespread uses of portable X-ray devices solidify the impact on the growth of the overall X-ray devices market during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030.

North America is expected to dominate the Overall X-Ray Devices Market:

Among all the regions, North America is estimated to hold a significant revenue share in the X-ray devices market. This can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing instances of cancer coupled with continuous advancements in X-ray device technology, and regulatory clearances that are acting as major factors contributing to the growth of the X-ray devices market in the North America region during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030.

National Cancer Institute (2024) estimated that 2 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the US by the end of 2024. Furthermore, it is estimated that prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers are expected to represent approximately 48% of all cancer diagnoses in men. For women, the most prevalent cancers are breast, lung, and colorectal, which are expected to account for about 51% of all new cancer diagnoses.

According to Global Cancer Observatory’s updated data (2024), in 2022, the US represented 89.1% of all cancer cases and Canada represented 10.9% of all cancer cases in the region. X-ray devices are vital in cancer detection and management. They are used in mammography for breast cancer screening, chest X-rays for identifying lung tumors, and bone X-rays to detect metastases. X-rays also aid in guiding biopsies and monitoring treatment progress. Their detailed imaging capabilities make them essential for comprehensive cancer care.

Various product developmental strategies in the region play a major role in pushing forward the revenue shares of X-Ray devices in the region. For example, in January 2024, Boston Imaging, the US headquarters for Samsung's digital radiography and ultrasound division, announced that Samsung entered into a supply agreement with Lunit Inc., a leading provider of AI-powered solutions for cancer diagnostics and treatment. This partnership aimed to enhance the speed and accuracy of chest screenings, facilitating timely interventions and better patient outcomes.

In addition to this, various regulatory approvals are also expected to increase the revenue shares for the same in the region. For example in April, 2021, Israeli stratup Nanox received US FDA approval for digital X-ray systems, known as the Nanox Arc. These were compact and lighter than the traditional forms of X-Ray and helped in generating 3D images that emit lesser radiations.

Therefore, the interplay of all the factors mentioned above would provide a conducive growth environment for the North America region in the X-ray devices market during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030.
