Global Market Leaders and Drivers Diagnostic Imaging
United States, China, Europe, Russia, Brazil and India Globally, markets for MRI, CT, general radiography and ultrasound systems will all grow strongly in the next five years. The MRI and CT markets will generally be driven by a growing preference for higher-end systems, and X-ray digitization will spur growth in general radiography systems. The United States and Western Europe are large and saturated markets where growth will come from replacement purchases of systems with higher technology, while Brazil, India, Russia and China will see strong procedural growth and purchases of new systems for facilities that previously had no diagnostic imaging system. Turkey’s market, strongly influenced by government bulk tenders, will see more irregular growth.

The ultrasound system market will be the fastest growing segment through 2016. The comparatively low prices of ultrasound systems means they will be less affected by cost-cutting measures than other modalities. The CT and nuclear medicine systems are two relatively stable segments that are experiencing shifts in product mix. In the CT system segment, there is a shift in favor of higher-slice systems, while there is a trend toward SPECT/CT and PET imaging in the nuclear medicine system segment.

The result will be large numbers of initial system purchases by rural hospitals as well as system upgrades by more affluent urban hospitals. Driven by new additions to ultrasound system functionalities in addition to replacement sales and system upgrades, the ultrasound system segment will produce the largest revenues through 2016. The still-slow medical device registration process will inhibit adoption of cutting-edge technology. Strong competition from local vendors will lead to significant price erosion, particularly in lower-end systems.

Philips Toshiba Medical 3 Philips Healthcare Philips Healthcare GE Healthcare Philips Healthcare Healthcare Systems Market situation Growth will come mostly from increased procedure volumes resulting from an aging population and rising obesity rates. The MRI and CT system segments will expand at the fastest pace. While the MRI system market will see growth in all system types, the CT system segment will see growth primarily in the shift from lower- to higher-slice systems. Reimbursement cuts and increasing cost-consciousness will slow growth, particularly in 2014 and 2015.

Though the bulk of investment has already been made, some continued funding will contribute to growth through 2016. Healthcare system improvements have led to a shift in preference toward higher-end systems with improved image quality and capabilities. Corrupt pricing practices have led to vastly inflated equipment prices. Recent government initiatives may limit these practices, leading to a downward pressure on selling prices in the next two or three years.

Facilities with improved funding will be increasing their system adoption. Many multinationals will continue to establish local manufacturing facilities to avoid heavy import fees, resulting in reduced end-user prices and accelerated system adoption.

While promising, this market has significant limitations. The general preference for low-cost over premium systems is a strong brake on prices. Only government facilities and large corporate hospitals will be purchasing premium systems through 2017. Imaging procedures performed in private facilities are still not reimbursed. Despite growing affluence, few patients can afford these scans, severely limiting procedure volumes.

These bulk tenders have exerted a downward pressure on prices, particularly in the ultrasound segment, and resulted in a highly price-sensitive market, making it difficult for many vendors to compete. Largest growth will be in the MRI system segment, as the government establishes a large number of healthcare complexes that require new systems.
