TechNavio today launched its report, Global Digital Radiography Market 2011-2015, based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Healthcare team said: ”Digital radiography (DR) system manufacturers are facing intense competition all over the world. Therefore, top companies such as Philips Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare and Carestream Health have started offering packaged solutions that combine computed radiography (CR) and DR units, as well as IT systems such as picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and radiology information systems (RIS). This method of product bundling helps vendors offer their products at a reasonable price. By offering packaged solutions to hospitals, manufacturers stand a better chance of increasing their profit margins. Such strategies contribute to the growth of the market.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers for the growth of the Global DR market is the increasing implementation of PACS. This is a medical imaging technology that provides a complete solution for image management in a filmless radiology department. PACS and RIS are important modules that accelerate hospital productivity. PACS handles images from various medical imaging instruments such as DR, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography, computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound. Moreover, there is an increase in the integration of PACS with radiology and cardiology information systems as well as hospital information systems. Thus, the increasing implementation of PACS will drive the demand for DR systems because it provides economical storage and convenient access to images.
Further, the report reveals that one of the main challenges in the market is the availability of CR as a substitute system.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
