Key Market Insights
More than 50 handheld X-ray imaging devices are presently available / under development
Close to 95% of the aforementioned scanners are presently being used in the field of dentistry. Some of the available devices are considered highly efficient; 35% of the products mentioned in the report can be operated over 400 times in a single charge. Such solutions are particularly beneficial in remote areas, where electricity is not easily available.
Close to 85% of scanners are designed to use lithium-ion polymer batteries
Prominent examples of such devices that use with lithium-ion polymer-based batteries include the Cocoon (DX7017/DX7020) Portable Handheld Dental X-Ray (Dexcowin), MaxRay Cocoon Handheld Dental X-Ray (MasterLink), NOMAD Pro 2 Handheld X-Ray System (KaVo Kerr), and Port-X IV (Genoray).
35 companies claim to be actively involved in manufacturing handheld X-ray devices
Majority (76%) of the scanners mentioned in the report, are being developed by very small and small firms, followed by mid-sized (12%) and large players (12%). Interestingly, the prominent contributors in the market (26%) were observed to have been incorporated as business entities post-2015.
Handheld X-ray scanners are estimated to enhance radiologists’ efficiency by ~50%
Given their light-weight, and low exposure time (to harmful radiations), coupled to advances in battery chemistries that have improved efficiency, such portable diagnostic devices allow radiologists to perform more scans in a day, than what was possible using conventional X-ray equipment. In fact, by 2030, it is estimated that the aforementioned increase in productivity is likely to result in USD 11 billion worth of cost savings, when compared to using conventional devices.
By 2030, diagnostic imaging centers and hospitals are anticipated to occupy over 65% of the market opportunity
Given the ease in portability and higher adoption rates, the market for diagnostic imaging center is anticipated to rise at a relatively faster rate (12.94%). This is closely followed by ambulatory surgical centers (12.91%) and specialty clinics (12.74%).
