Portable X-Ray Devices Market

Increasing use of digital imaging to boost the growth of Portable X-ray Devices Market

The global Portable X-ray Devices Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 7676.84 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:

Portable X-ray devices are medical imaging devices used to capture X-ray images of the internal tissues, bones, and organs of the human body. These devices are compact and lightweight for use at the patient’s bedside in hospitals as well as in non-hospital settings such as radiography clinics, homes, and during emergencies. Portable x-ray devices utilize digital X-ray detectors instead of films which capture the X-ray images digitally and allow faster image access and enhanced image quality compared to conventional X-ray systems. The digital images can also be easily transferred over networks, stored, retrieved on different devices for diagnosis, and compared to previous images. These benefits have increased the adoption of portable x-ray devices among healthcare providers.

Market key trends:

One of the key trends in portable x-ray devices market is the increasing use of computed radiography (CR) and direct digital radiography (DDR) systems. CR systems capture X-ray images on a reusable phosphor plate which is then scanned with a laser beam to digitize the latent images. DDR systems have a digital detector composed of an amorphous silicon material that directly converts X-rays into electric signals. Both these techniques have largely replaced analog X-ray films as they offer faster image access, enhanced image quality and easier storage and sharing of images.
Porter’s Analysis
