Abstract
Growing global population, increased ageing of the population, chronically ill
people and increasing awareness and need for medical services are all driving
the growth of medical imaging market. Advanced imaging technologies and
increased adoption of digital imaging has increased consumer expenditure on
medical imaging services. On the other hand, huge R&D costs have resulted in
pricing pressure on the manufacturers.
General Electric (GE), Siemens, and Philips dominate the medical imaging
market, with approximately 75% share of the worldwide market. GE remains the
undisputed leader of medical imaging. Philips and Siemens are now allocating
increased amounts of capital to healthcare.
The report begins with a discussion of the medical imaging market and then
goes on to analyze the worldwide and the US markets. The report profiles the
major medical imaging equipment suppliers, focusing in-depth on their key
strengths. It also analyzes the major trends prevalent in the imaging market.
