The shift from traditional analog and computed radiography (CR) systems to digital radiography (DR) is propelling market growth. Digital X-rays, known for their superior image quality, quicker results, and minimized radiation exposure, are witnessing heightened adoption in healthcare facilities. Moreover, technological innovations like AI integration, mobile X-ray systems, and wireless DR detectors are bolstering both diagnostic accuracy and operational efficiency in radiological procedures.
Furthermore, heightened investments from both government and private sectors in healthcare facilities, especially in emerging markets like China and India, are catalyzing the adoption of advanced X-ray machines. This momentum is mirrored in the burgeoning diagnostic imaging centers, which are anticipated to register the most significant growth rate in the near future.
