The Orthopedic Segment is expected to dominate with 27.8% share in the digital x-ray devices market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing prevalence of orthopedic diseases. X-ray imaging is extremely important to orthopedic professionals, as precise imaging helps in determining the best care possible for the patients.
The Computed Radiography Segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the rise in use of computed radiography (CR). It is a digital replacement for conventional X-ray film radiography, and offers enormous advantages.
The Portable Systems Segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the high demand for portable systems worldwide.
The Hospitals Segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the rise in prevalence of chronic and orthopedic diseases worldwide.

Among regions, North America is expected to gain highest share in the market over the forecast period owing to the increasing incidence of orthopedic diseases, rise in burden of cancer, and rise in geriatric population in this region. For instance, with the increase in prevalence of chronic and orthopedic diseases, the use of medical imaging devices, such as x-ray devices, is also increasing with a rapid pace.
In August 2025, GE Healthcare announced the launch of the AI-enabled x-ray system. The Definium 656 HD platform includes artificial intelligence (AI) to provide enhanced anatomic detail and clarity through the use of Helix 2.2 advanced image processing and 100 um FlashPad HD detectors, according to the company.
Asia Pacific is also expected to witness significant growth in the global digital x-ray devices market due to the increase in prevalence of chronic and orthopedic diseases, rise in number of serious injuries, and rise in geriatric population in these regions. For instance, X-rays and other radiographic tests help doctors look for cancer in different parts of the body.
India’s cancer cases could increase by 12% in the next five years, with 1.5 million people projected to suffer from the non-communicable disease by 2025, up from 1.39 million in 2020, according to the data based on current trends from the cancer report by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). This in turn is driving the growth of the market in these regions.
One of the key factors expected to augment the growth of the global digital x-ray devices market over the forecast period is the increase in prevalence of chronic and orthopedic diseases worldwide. Digital radiography is very helpful for examining the musculoskeletal system of trauma victims.
For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), musculoskeletal conditions are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, with low back pain being the single leading cause of disability in 160 countries; 1.71 billion people have musculoskeletal conditions worldwide. This in turn is driving the growth of the market.
Another factor which is driving the digital x-ray devices market demand is the advantages of digital x-ray systems over conventional x-rays. For instance, the major advantages of digital x-ray or imaging are easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness. While traditional X-rays are considered safe, digital X-rays produce 80% less radiation than traditional.
This is beneficial for the long-term health of patients, especially for those suffering from a disease and pregnant women, thus ensuring safety. Moreover, digital X-rays provide better and clearer images with high resolution that can be enlarged or manipulated as needed, minimizing the need for repeating the procedure.
The rising demand for point-of-care imaging is significantly boosting the adoption of portable and mobile X-ray systems, especially in emergency rooms, intensive care units, and remote healthcare settings. These systems offer rapid diagnostics, reduced patient movement, and improved workflow efficiency. Devices like Fujifilm’s FDR Go iQ exemplify this trend, offering advanced imaging capabilities with enhanced mobility and user-friendly interfaces. Their ability to deliver high-quality images at the bedside makes them invaluable in critical care scenarios. As a result, portable solutions are capturing a growing portion of the digital X-ray devices market share, positioning them as key drivers of future market expansion.
Portable x-ray devices play an important role in diagnosis and monitoring at the patient's bedside, with no barriers to transfer the patient to the X-ray room. A portable x-ray offers many advantages over the traditional x-ray systems.
Furthermore, the portable x-ray has the potential to overcome location barriers and benefit patients who are in life-threatening conditions and require immediate treatment, possibly needing an on-the-spot diagnosis. This in turn is expected to drive the global digital x-ray devices market price.
Over the past few years, digital x-ray devices have undergone significant advances focused on core and ancillary technologies to provide high-quality, high-resolution images without corresponding increase in radiation dose. These solutions integrate new technologies and algorithms along with, other improvements to take advantage of the optimization potential of digital image enhancement. Artificial intelligence (AI) is running rampant in radiology and imaging equipment, and is already being used in many ways in radiology and is the future.
