The key developments in the market include the development of advanced 3D imaging and software modelling of the target imaging field. The market is highly influenced by the growing adoption of portable or hand-held imaging devices, and the utilization of predictive modelling to identify surgical interventional sites for enhanced patient compliance with treatment.

The H1-2022 outlook period in comparison to H1-2022 projected period showed negative growth in terms of Basis Point Share by 30 BPS. And in H1-2022, the market growth rate of orthopaedic imaging equipment is expected to fall by 120 basis point shares (BPS), as per FMI analysis

The market decline observed through the reduction in the BPS values is addressed by the risk of radiation exposure during imaging, lack of qualified professional workforce to operate advanced imaging modalities, and high initial equipment cost followed by subsequently high maintenance costs.

Orthopedic Imaging Equipment Market Analysis 2016 to 2020 Vs Demand Outlook for 2021 to 2031

According to Future Market Insights, sales of orthopedic imaging equipment grew at a CAGR of 4.0% between 2016 and 2020. With the rising incidence of orthopedic diseases and bone injuries coupled with a growing geriatric population, sales are expected to reach USD 14.6 Billion by the end of 2031.

According to a UN report, the geriatric population will increase from 9.3 % in 2020 to around 16% in 2050. This increase in population will result in more acute and chronic injuries. Hence, demand for orthopedic imaging equipment is expected to increase, boosting the market.

Additionally, the global prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) is rapidly increasing. Also, there has been a noticeable increase in the obesity ratio across the globe. Being overweight increases the pressure exerted on joints such as the knee, causing tension and speeding up cartilage breakdown.

Hence, the risk of bone and chronic injuries is expected to accelerate over the coming years. This is expected to create growth opportunities for the orthopedic imaging equipment market players.

Orthopaedic Imaging Equipment Market

Consequently, there is also a significant shift in doctors’ preference towards innovative and advanced technologies such as advanced MRI and CT imaging techniques. Development in these techniques will result in increased demand in the market.

Further, the orthopedic imaging equipment market is expected to grow with the expansion of the healthcare industry and the surging need to discover novel technologies to effectively diagnose any issue.

Rising acceptance and quick expansion of new technologies, especially in emerging economies such as India and China will boost the market throughout the forecast period. Hence, leading companies are concentrating on introducing new products as well as research and development.

Considering this, FMI expects the global orthopedic imaging equipment market to expand at over a CAGR of 5.4%, in terms of volume, through 2021.

High Cost and Lack of Healthcare Infrastructure to Limit Sales in Underdeveloped Economies

Currently, several developing and underdeveloped nations are lacking adequate imaging infrastructure to conduct tests and technology implementation. Developed nations such as the USA have better diagnostic imaging and use advanced imaging techniques.

However, with few reimbursement policies and a lack of healthcare infrastructure, the market in underdeveloped economies in Latin America is expected to witness headwinds in the upcoming years.

These economies lack widespread access to diagnostic imaging, limiting the sales in the orthopedic imaging equipment market.

Besides this, the high cost involved in the initial setup and installation of imaging equipment and broadband technology in remote locations might hamper the growth of the global orthopedic imaging equipment market.

Additionally, the chances of recovering the costs solely depend on the number of scans arriving per day. Hence, achieving break-even is quite uncertain and entails high risk. This is expected to be the major restraining factor in the orthopedic imaging equipment market.

Country-wise Insights

Why is the USA Considered the Largest Market for Orthopedic Imaging Equipment?

In 2021, the USA is expected to account for about 89.2% of the North American orthopedic imaging equipment market. Growing incidence of arthritis, acute injuries, increasing geriatric population, and high per capita healthcare spending in the USA are some of the factors boosting the market.

Furthermore, government funding for the procurement of imaging equipment by various institutions in the USA will aid the expansion of the market.

Will the UK Emerge as the Most Lucrative Pocket in Europe Orthopedic Imaging Equipment?

As per FMI, the UK is expected to account for 13.1% of the Europe market by 2021. Growth in the country is attributable to the technological advancements in medical devices used in orthopedic imaging and favorable government policies.

As per the National Health Service (UK), more than ten million individuals suffer from arthritis or other joint-related diseases. The rising prevalence of such bone diseases will improve the demand for orthopedic imaging equipment and treatment, accelerating sales in the UK.

Why are X-Ray Systems Most Preferred as Orthopedic Imaging Equipment?

By product, the X-ray system segment is anticipated to hold the maximum share of 28.0 % in 2021. The segment is expected to exhibit growth at 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period.

The demand for X-rays is expected to outpace the sales of other imaging equipment, owing to several advantages of X-rays such as easy availability, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.

They are more accessible than MRI and can be used to identify injuries and masses within the body more quickly. X-rays are one of the most cost-effective and widely used imaging techniques across developing economies such as India and China.

Will the Increase Prevalence of Acute Injuries Propel Orthopedic Imaging Equipment Sales?

In terms of indication, the acute injuries segment is projected to dominate the market. As per FMI, the segment is expected to account for 56.6% of the total market share in 2021.

Growth in the segment is underpinned by an increase in accidental cases, sports injuries, and bone dislocation across the globe. According to the research study on acute injuries, over 30 million children participate in organized sports activities, among them nearly 3.5 million undergo severe acute injuries.

More than 775,000 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms for such injuries, resulting in the need for advanced orthopedic imaging equipment.

Will Need for Orthopedic Imaging Equipment in Hospitals Outpace in Radiology Centers?

In terms of end-user, hospitals, and radiology centers, collectively, hold over 60% of the market share in 2021 and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period as well.

A growing number of standalone imaging centers is propelling the growth in the radiology centers segment. Also, independent imaging centers provide discounts in order to attract more people, aiding the growth of the segment.

In addition, the time it takes for patients to have an MRI or other imaging procedure in radiology centers is reduced. Hence, the adoption of orthopedic imaging equipment will increase in radiology centers.

Competitive Landscape

Companies in the orthopedic imaging equipment market are pursuing new product innovations and launches, regulatory approvals, and expansion of their product portfolios as key strategies.

Key players are also focusing on the development of advanced and cost-effective products establishing distribution agreements to expand their global footprints, especially in Asia Pacific.
