Global Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Systems Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.
COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs and vaccines, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Egypt, and others, faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another. However, the COVID-19 had a positive impact on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market, owing to the increase in the use of MRI systems by hospitals and diagnostic centers. For instance, in June 2021, according to an article published in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, international multidisciplinary journal encompassing physical, life, and clinical science investigations, stated that in case of CT (Computed Tomography) scan is not available, it is advisable to conduct a chest MRI for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
Global Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Systems Market: Key Developments
In March 2021, Hitachi, Ltd., a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation, announced a launch of new open MRI systems, APERTO Lucent Plus, a 0.4T permanent open MRI, and the AIRIS Vento Plus, a 0.3T at ECR (European Congress of Radiology) 2021 meeting. New MRI systems with Synergy Drive workflow solutions are designed to optimize workflow and reduce scan time. The Synergy Drive workflow solution aids in overcoming barriers in the MRI scanning process from the start of the procedure such as, patient registration through post-processing and picture sharing of the MRI scans.
Global Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Systems Market: Restraint
Mixed results with MRI screening is expected to hinder growth of the global magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market. For instance, in November 2019, researchers from University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands, reported that supplementing mammography with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients with dense breast tissue reduced the rate of interval cancers by half, but with a regarding rate of recall for additional imaging or interventions.
Key Players
Major players operating in the global magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market include Seimens AG, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Medtronic plc, Aurora Imaging Technologies Inc., General Electric Company, Hitachi Ltd., Esaote SpA, The InterMed Group, and Canon Medical Systems Corporation
Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced medical imaging technique employed to image the anatomy and physiological processes in the body of an individual. MRI can be a suitable option to examine sports injuries, vascular abnormalities, prostrate problems, pelvic problems of females, assessment of the gastrointestinal tract, and to investigate several conditions of nose, throat and ear. Patients with preexisting implants cannot be scanned with MRI. Increasing prevalence of chronic disorders, new product approval, and increasing healthcare infrastructure in developing economies is expected to assist the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, major players in the global magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market are focused on adopting mergers and acquisitions strategies to enhance their market share which is also expected to drive the growth of the market.
Market Dynamics
Increasing incidence of acquisitions by market players is expected to drive the growth of the global magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems market for the forecast period. For instance, in November 2021, Canon Medical, a medical equipment company acquired Skope Magnetic Resonance Technologies AG, a company providing MRI users with unprecedented imaging quality and performance. Skope's experience in MRI sensorics, signal processing, and image reconstruction extends from signal acquisition to picture production as a result, MRI scanning with reproducible picture quality, high image detail, and time savings is possible with this acquisition. Canon Medical Systems welcomes the Skope team and will use its ability to drive MRI system research and development, committed to breakthrough MRI solutions for uncompromised patient care. Canon Medical System acquisition concluded a contract to acquire all shares of Skope Magnetic Resonance Technologies AG.
