The X-Ray Detector Market is projected to grow from USD XX billion in 2021 to USD XX billion in 2030 at a CAGR of XX%. X-ray-based imaging is used in medical and non-medical applications like cultural heritage investigations, metrology, materials science research, geophysics, and homeland security.
Increasing cases of bone injuries due to falls and accidents have resulted in the increasing use of x-ray detection in the healthcare industry. Non-fatal injuries affect millions each year, resulting in visits to emergency, hospitalizations, and short or long-term disability. Increasing adoption of digital imaging and the introduction of wireless X-ray detectors in healthcare is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact on X-Ray Detector Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the market. The market temporarily declined as the X-ray detectors manufacturers halting their production due to corona virus outbreak. However, the resuming of the manufacturing sector has led to availability of these detectors in market as the demand for X-ray has sky rocketed due to its use in detection of bone injuries, diseases, and COVID-19 pneumonia, in hospitals. Hence, the X-ray detector market is expected to grow rapidly due to increasing demand for x-rays in healthcare.
Latest Trends
Technological Advancements in X-Ray Detectors to Reduce Health Risks
X-ray increases risk of cancer due to radiation exposure. Researchers are studying new ways to generate precise X-ray images with a lower amount of exposure, by using specific materials during manufacturing of X-ray detectors. For instance, in April 2020, Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory launched new X-ray detectors. These detectors use layered perovskites, a semiconducting material also used in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. The detector with the new material is more sensitive than conventional, silicon-based X-ray detectors. Hence, the advent of innovative x-ray detectors with reduced risk of radiation is expected to drive the growth of the market.
The dramatic reduction in radiation exposure is expected to revolutionize the digital imaging industry. It will reduce health risks in medical applications and offer new avenues in other industries like academia, and defense, for applications in security scanners and research. Thus, technological advances and innovation are expected to augment market growth.
Driving Factors
Growing Prevalence of Diseases and Health Conditions
Increasing cases of bone injury, bone fracture, and growing prevalence of urinary tract conditions have led to high demand for X-ray detectors. Advanced and high-quality digital images for radiography require X-ray detectors, which are expected to drive the market growth.
Increasing demand for X-ray systems in mammography is also expected to contribute to the market. According to the World Health Organization, in 2020, 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 685000 deaths were recorded globally. By the end of 2020, 7.8 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the past 5 years, making it the world’s most prevalent cancer. Applications of X-ray detectors in other industries like defense and security are also expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Restraining Factor
The high cost associated with digital X-ray systems is expected to restrain market growth. Health hazards due to radiation emitted by x-ray detectors can increase the risk of diseases in patients, which has resulted in hospitals shifting towards use of detectors that have low or negligible level of radiation. This is an important concern that can hamper the market.
Segmentation Analysis
By Type
Flat Panel Detector (FPD) Segment to Account for the Largest Market Share
Based on type, the X-ray detector market is divided into flat panel detector (FPD), cesium iodide (CSI), gadox, charge coupled device (CCD), and line scan. The flat panel detector (FPD) segment is expected to account for a major share during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to high demand for flat-panel detectors in radiography. These x-ray devices are simple and easy to use and offer fast results. Flat-panel detectors work on wireless and nanotube technologies, which contributes to their increased adoption.
By Portability
Increasing Demand for Quicker Assistance to Drive Portable Segment Growth
Based on portability, the X-ray detector market is divided into fix and portable. The portable segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The increasing number of hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and diagnostic centers has led to improvement in healthcare and the patients are receiving immediate assistance. Health centers increasingly prefer portable devices to ensure quick transfer and faster movement in case of emergency, which is driving the segment growth.
By System
Increasing Preference Towards Upgradation to Propel the Retrofit Segment
Based on system, the X-ray detector market is divided into new and retrofit. The retrofit segment is expected to hold the largest market. Replacing the existing X-ray detector can be costly; hence, healthcare centers opt for upgrading the current system to retrofit. In retrofit system, the device can be upgraded according to user needs with advantages like digital x-ray imaging. Increasing adoption of retrofit systems to upgrade conventional x-ray detector devices is expected to drive segment growth during the forecast period.
By Application
Medical Segment to Dominate the Market
Based on application, the X-ray detector market is divided into medical, orthopedic, mammogram, dental, cardiac, veterinary, and security. The medical segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The growth of imaging and diagnostic in medical treatment for diagnostics and disease prevention and cure has led to the adoption of x-ray devices. The introduction of advanced X-ray devices, which assist health professionals in offering accurate diagnosis and treatment, is expected to drive the segment growth.
By Region
Increased Adoption of Technological Advancements Drives the North American Market
Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America.
North America is expected to account for the largest X-ray detectors market share during the forecast period. Well-established healthcare industry and availability of advanced technology have led to the adoption of advanced x-ray detectors in healthcare resulting in market growth. Increasing prevalence of breast cancer has led to growing number of patients seeking mammography resulting in high demand for x-ray detectors, contributing to market growth.
Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period.
