FLUOROSCOPY AND C-ARM MARKET ANALYSIS

C-Arms are imaging devices that work on the principles of X – ray technology. C-Arms have two key components: X – ray detector and X – ray source. C-Arms provide high resolution real time X – ray images, which help physicians monitor the surgery and make critical corrections where necessary and reduce the chances for follow up surgeries.

Global fluoroscopy and c-arm market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,872.1 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Increasing adoption of fluoroscopy and c-arms is expected to propel growth of the global fluoroscopy and c-arms market.

Increasing adoption of fluoroscopy and c-arms is expected to propel growth of the global fluoroscopy and c-arms market over the forecast period. For instance, in November 2018, Agfa US Corp., a developer and manufacturer of imaging systems and IT solutions, was awarded a group purchasing agreement with Premier, which allowed Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage, of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for Agfa's comprehensive line of Direct Radiography (DR) systems.

Global Fluoroscopy and C-Arm 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 medical devices, 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. Additionally, there were delays in hospitalization and surgical procedures as number of patient visits decreased, which affected the global fluoroscopy and c-arm market over the forecast period.

Global Fluoroscopy and C-Arm Market: Key Developments

On July 14, 2022, FUJIFILM Europe GmbH, a subsidiary of Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, Launched New Hybrid C-Arm and Portable X-Ray Device. Hybrid C-Arm and Portable X-ray machine planned to offer high quality fluoroscopic and static x-ray images during surgery and other medical procedures. The technology offers a more effective and streamlined workflow by capturing radiography and fluoroscopic images on a single platform.

 Global Fluoroscopy and C-Arm Market: Restraint

Adoption of alternative techniques, to fluoroscopy is expected to hinder growth of the global fluoroscopy and c-arms market. Fluoroscopy techniques allow surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures. However, fluoroscopy involves risk from ionizing radiation due to which several physicians prefer use of alternative techniques such as ultrasound, which provides similar modalities. For instance, according to an article published in August, 2021, by Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, ultrasound is the perfect initial imaging modality for imaging of urinary tract without ionizing radiation.

Key Players

Major players operating in the global Fluoroscopy and c-arm market include GE Healthcare, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Siemens Healthineers, Hologic, Inc., and Ziehm Imaging
