Fluoroscopy Mobile C-Arms Market Analysis

Fluoroscopy and Mobile C-Arms Market Overview

The Fluoroscopy and Mobile C-Arms Market size is projected to reach USD 4.32 Billion by 2032 at 4.7% CAGR during the forecast period 2023-2032. Fluoroscopy is a medical imagining which is used to generate continuous real-time images, more like an X-ray movie or short video of the patient’s bodies. Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging tactic that helps to generate multiple X-rays on the monitor. On the other hand, the C arm has radiographic capabilities which are used to attach the X-ray detector and X-ray source with each other. This device is widely used for the surgical imagining of fluoroscopic surgeries, imagining of procedures of emergency care, and orthopedic. Fluoroscopy and C-arm are extensively used for the treatments of the various body parts that include peripheral artery disease (PAD), pulmonary embolism, spinal cord injury, deep vein thrombosis, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and other chronic condition.

Fluoroscopy and C-arm are extensively used for interventional radiological procedures. The growing universality of chronic diseases, increase in the population, and the adoption or appropriation of the devices in the medical field is the biggest reason for driving the growth of the global fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm.

However, there are few restrictions or hurdles in the growth of the market among which the high cost of the C-arm and fluoroscope device are the major causes, that is restricting the growth of the market during the forecast period. Apart from this, there is the availability of proxy devices in the market which is also harming the growth. The high risk of radiation exposure can also be considered as a hurdle in the growth of the market during or over the forecast period.

This report basically focuses on the overall fluoroscopy and c-arm market and its strengths through the explanations of the market researches. Along with that, the report also includes the high point of the market dynamics, segmentation, key players, and other important factors.

Covid 19 Analysis:The covid 19 pandemics are anticipated to have a clash on the fluoroscopy and mobile C arm market. The hospitals are more determined to invest in high-cost covid 19 types of equipment or ventilators which might affect the fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm market. Based on the latest study, there is an article published in May 2020 in the British Journal of Surgery, based on the article, around 28.4 Million surgeries around the globe were postponed or canceled due to the covid 19 and 580,000 surgeries were canceled or postponed alone in India.

Therefore, the vaccines are already in the market and the government is continuously working for the betterment of the society which will eventually help the steady growth of fluoroscopy and  mobile C-arm market during the forecast period.

Fluoroscopy and Mobile C-Arms Market Trends

•        Drivers

The growth of the global market of Fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm market is driven by a number of factors. The increasing incidences of chronic diseases and the rising geriatric population are the major cause for the growth of the market. The preferences of the doctors around the globe for fluoroscopy and neurology and orthopedic procedures are other factors.

According to the study, the annual incident rates of RA and age-standardized point generality were 246.6 and 14.9 in 2017 which increased by 7.4% and 8.2% from 1990.

•        Opportunities

The fluoroscopy and mobile C-arm devices are highly used by doctors worldwide for older patients. Proper types of equipment and tools are required to operate and this device helps to monitor the whole surgical procedures as slight errors or mistakes could cause serious damage to the older patients.

Moreover, imaged guided surgeries are chiefly preferred by the doctors to serve the geriatric population with perfection, the risk of complications can be reduced with the help of the mobile C-arms.  

•        Restraints

The acquisition of alternative or substitution techniques for fluoroscopy is likely to affect the growth of the market. Fluoroscopy and C-arm techniques help the surgeons to perform infinitesimal invasive surgery procedures. There is a high risk of ionizing radiation with the fluoroscopy devices, and due to that several physicians prefer other alternatives such as ultrasonography.  

Therefore, there is a high demand for refurbished equipment which is cheaper as compared to fluoroscopy devices. The growth in the demand for the refurbished equipment has affected the fluoroscopy market. The price of refurbished equipment ranges from US$ 5,000 to US$ 140,000 on the other hand the price of C-arm devices reaches up to US$ 200,000

•        Challenges

Fluoroscopy’s artificial intelligence offers a profitable growth opportunity for the key players in the global fluoroscopy and c-arm market size. According to a study, in October 2019, the American College Of Gastroenterology has reported that the use of the fluoroscopic system with artificial intelligence can minimize the threat of exposure to radiation.

 The growth of the market is highly affected by this new development of technology. The CorPath GRX System with the robotic PCI has reduced the exposure of the radiation by 20% as compared to the PCI.

•         Cumulative Growth Analysis

The adoption of the fluoroscopy and c-arm market size is anticipated to toss growth in the global market during the forecast period. AIIMS Bhopal, India, established a Digital Radiography Fluoroscopy unit in the hospital.

Major key players around the globe are focused on getting the approvals and launching new devices to extend the portfolio of the product. In March 2019, Philips got the clearance for a digital radiographic-fluoroscopy system which is a ProxiDiagnost N90.
