According to a recent study by Future Market Insights (FMI), the global orthopedic imaging equipment market is expected reach US$ 9.8 Bn in 2021. Sales are expected to increase at a CAGR of around 4.0% over the forecast period (2021-2031).

Orthopedic imaging equipment is the medical imaging equipment used for bone scanning, implants scanning and is utilized for diagnosis purposes. Different imaging technologies such as X-rays, MRI, ultrasound, EOS and nuclear imaging are included in orthopedic imaging equipment.

Rising prevalence of orthopedic diseases and bone injuries, technological advancement in orthopedic imaging equipment devices, and rise in research and development activities by key manufacturers are factors driving the orthopedic imaging equipment market.

Numerous medical imaging modalities are currently enabling three-dimensional (3D) visualization with accuracy, and rapid diagnoses. Advancements in 3D imaging have led to development in computer-assisted detection (CAD) and image analysis applications. This is expected to boost the market for modality, primarily in tomographic imaging techniques.

Moreover, surgeons are using 3D imaging to plan surgeries, which has led to increased application of these systems. This is expected to increase the utilization of imaging equipment, especially across the U.S. and the U.K.

Consequently, these devices are also gaining high traction in Asia such as China and India due to growing demand for better health care infrastructure. Improving healthcare infrastructure and technological developments in these countries will increase the demand for 3D medical imaging equipment.

Key Takeaways from Orthopedic Imaging Equipment Study

• In terms of product type, the X-ray systems is expected to account for 28.0%, expanding at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecasted period.
• By indication, the acute injuries segment will contribute over 56.6% of sales in the global orthopedic imaging equipment market.
• Hospitals and radiology centers will, collectively, account for 68.2% of the market share in 2021.
