Ambulatory X-Ray Devices Market Research, 2031
The global ambulatory x-ray devices market was valued at $1.7 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $2.4 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2022 to 2031. X-ray devices are the medical systems that are used for imaging of internal organs in humans and animals. X-ray devices generally consist of power source, an X-ray tube, an imaging platform, and several other optional components such as automatic exposure control, dose area product, collimator, workstation, electronic mechanic control systems and others. The devices emit electromagnetic radiations, having wavelength ranging from 10 picometres to 10 nanometers, which travel through the body and are absorbed in different amounts by different tissues, depending on the radiological density of the tissues they pass through. These images assist the healthcare provider and the radiologist to determine any abnormalities associated with internal organs. X-ray radiography helps in detection of bone fractures, certain tumors and other abnormal masses, pneumonia, various types of injuries, calcifications, foreign objects, or dental problems.

Market dynamics
Major factors driving the growth of the ambulatory X-ray devices market are the increase in prevalence of chronic condition, increase in adoption of X-ray imaging for diagnosis of various diseases, increase in demand for portable X-ray devices and rise in technological advances in the field of X-ray imaging. There is an increase in demand for X-ray devices in the healthcare sector, due to the increase in X-ray imaging for diagnosis of chronic conditions in the population around the globe. Also, increase in prevalence of chronic conditions is also boosting the growth of the market. For instance, according to U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, by 2040, an estimated 78 million (26%) U.S. adults aged 18 years or older are projected to have doctor-diagnosed arthritis, which is one of the most common health issues in the U.S. There are many causes of arthritis, such as injury, inheritance, abnormal metabolism, and others and X-ray imaging is the most common way to diagnose arthritis. Arthritis can be easily detected on the image through X-ray, and the doctors often use this method to confirm it. Thus, increase in prevalence of arthritis and other orthopedic conditions increases the demand for X-ray imaging, which propels the growth of the ambulatory X-ray devices market.
In addition, increase in prevalence of other chronic conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and dental conditions is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growth of the ambulatory X-ray devices market is expected to be driven by high potential in untapped, emerging markets, due to availability of improving healthcare infrastructure, increase in unmet healthcare needs, rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, and surge in demand for X-ray imaging devices. The healthcare industry in emerging economies is developing at a significant rate, owing to rise in demand for enhanced healthcare services, significant investments by government to improve healthcare infrastructure, and development of the medical tourism industry in emerging countries.
Moreover, increase in demand for X-ray devices in developed countries as well as developing countries, such as China, Brazil, and India, fuel the growth of the market. Furthermore, rise in consumer awareness related to early detection of chronic conditions and awareness about technological advancements in the field of X-ray imaging is anticipated to boost the market growth.
Although various factors drive the growth of the ambulatory X-ray devices market, minor complications associated with the X-ray imaging is expected to provide hindrance to the growth of the market. Ingestion of a contrast material before X-ray may cause side effects such as hives, itching, nausea, lightheadedness and a metallic taste in mouth. Moreover, in some cases it might lead to severe reaction, such as anaphylactic shock, very low blood pressure, or cardiac arrest. Thus, these factors limit the growth of the ambulatory X-ray devices market. On the other hand, increase in investment by the key market players in developing regions and technological advances in X-ray devices is anticipated to provide ambulatory X-Ray devices market opportunity .
The COVID-19 outbreak had a positive impact on growth of the global ambulatory X-ray device market. COVID-19 pandemic was one of the biggest challenges for the healthcare system which is associated with respiratory disease and can affect and cause lasting damage to the lungs leading to symptoms such as difficulty in breathing and in some cases pneumonia and respiratory failure. As X-rays is used to detect conditions associated with lungs, this led to the rise in adoption of X-ray imaging for diagnosis of corona virus infection.
In addition, the pandemic has also imperiled the awareness drives regarding diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19, which also boosted the market. Furthermore, the government funding and drives regarding diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19, led to the increase in number of diagnoses of the corona virus infection. This boosts the ambulatory X-ray devices market growth.
