CT Scanner Market, By Technology

Cone beam segment is forecasted to have 5.9% growth over the analysis period. The robust segmental growth can be attributed to increasing demand for computed cone technology in cosmetic and orthopaedic surgeries. Also, reduced risk involved in advance cone beam imaging, rapid scan time and its extensive use in treatment of dental diseases will further escalate the segment growth.

High slice technology segment accounted for 41.6% in 2018 due to superior quality of images offered in contrast to low slice devices. Recently developed 265-slice CT scanners can provide better quality images as compared to the 64-slice systems. As industry players are putting enormous efforts for the development of high slice systems, the segment is forecasted to witness healthy growth.

CT Scanner Market, By Application

Human segment will have 5.5% growth during the forecast years as CT scanners are highly preferred in human diagnostics. Increasing prevalence of cardiological, neurological and oncological disorders will drive the demand of CT devices for human diagnostics. Arrhythmias and other chronic conditions are better suited for high-slice systems that provides quick diagnosis as well as offer a greater imaging area. This will enable human application segment to retain its dominant position in near future.

Research segment accounted for 10.7% revenue share in 2018 and is expected to have considerable revenue share in the upcoming years due to its growing applications in the field of research and development. For instance, CT scanners have been increasingly used for biomechanical analyses and paleoanthropological research. Moreover, various organizations such as national cancer institute are funding research for improving application of CT Scanner in diagnostic fields. Such favourable initiatives will further propel the research application segment growth.

CT Scanner Market, By End-Use

Hospitals segment will witness 5.3% growth during the forecast period. CT scanner is one of the essential equipment in hospital premises as several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are carried out in hospitals involves use of CT devices. Moreover, high demand for minimally invasive surgeries proves beneficial for segment growth. Therefore, increasing number of hospital admissions and surgical procedures are the factors influencing demand of CT scanner in the hospitals.

Ambulatory surgical centres segment was valued at USD 1.4 billion in 2018. Ambulatory surgical centres often install portable CT Scanner that require less space on the floor and have faster scanning time. Also, patient inflow to ambulatory is increasing because of less waiting time, lower surgery cost, and convenience of location and hence, growing patient flow in ASCs is bound to increase the demand for CT scans.

CT Scanner Market, By Region

North America CT scanner market accounted for 29.5% revenue share in 2018. Considerable revenue share can be accounted to the high awareness regarding availability of CT scanner coupled with high healthcare expenditure. Furthermore, favourable government initiatives that supports development in computed tomography devices will positively impact the industry growth. North America CT scanner market is matured therefore, new entrants will find it difficult to grab potential market share. This opportunity can be leveraged by already established players as the threat of new entrants remains low.

Asia pacific CT Scanner market is expected to grow at 6.8% throughout the analysis timeframe. Considerable regional growth is attributable to increasing incidences of cardiovascular diseases due to drastic lifestyle changes that has inflated obesity levels. Additionally, favourable demographic trends such as growing elderly population base along with rising disposable income will fuel the regional growth over forecast period.

CT Scanner Industry Viewpoint

CT Scanner industry can be traced back to 1970s with the introduction of first CT scanner in 1971. Earlier developed computed tomography device had single detector that was able to diagnose brain injuries. Later, first generation CT Scanner were developed that were capable of better diagnosing chronic heart conditions. As technology progressed, second and third generation devices with enhanced capacity were introduced. Currently, key industry players have developed fourth generation CT Scanner with multiple detectors that minimized the time required for diagnosis. At present, this industry is matured particularly in North America and consistent technological advancements has imparted North America enormous growth opportunities. However, in emerging economies this industry is still in developing phase due to affordability issues associated with the high cost of these devices. Therefore, government and other regulatory authorities in developing countries are actively taking initiatives that have helped in lowering the price of CT scanners drastically.
