Global market for MRI systems is expected to grow backed by advancements in MRI technology and usage of MRI in newer applications such as identification of multiple sclerosis, among others. The market managed to sustain positive growth during recession due to the continuous improvements in the image quality and equipment features. Further, the development of newer techniques for imaging of specific portions of brain’s complex structure is driving growth in the MRI market. MRI is also finding use in conjunction with other modalities for achieving higher levels of image clarity. Also, 3-D MRI is expected to find use as a substitute for arthroscopy. The ability of MRI systems to image functionally as well as anatomically has allowed the technology to find footing in the diffusion and perfusion imaging, and surgical planning and navigation fields. The market is also witnessing a trend towards development of hybrid systems and integrated technology. Equipment incorporating innovative advancements such as improved temporal resolution, reduced exposure to radiation and reduced scanning time are expected to fuel market growth.
Globally, the expanding use of MRI technology into newer geographical regions is expected to fuel market growth. Europe is a more mature market for MRI systems akin to the US and increasing applications in areas such as breast, neurology and cardiac divisions would drive MRI market in Europe. Among the Asian countries, Japan continues to adopt newer technologies faster, thereby enabling the introduction of novel 3.0T equipment in Japanese market. Major economies such as North America, Europe, and Japan are expected to witness a decrease in market share while newer markets improve their share in the market.
As stated by Global Industry Analysts's new market research report on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Equipment, the US represents the largest regional market. The market is witnessing increasing use of dedicated systems meant for specific application including heart, brain and orthopedics. Very High-Field Systems represent the fastest growing segment as hospitals and clinics upgrade old equipment with next state-of-the-art systems. Technological advancements and aging baby-boomer population are forecast to propel growth of the market. In developing countries of Asia-Pacific and Latin America, technological advancements and increased utilization of imaging equipment are major drivers of growth in the MRI market.
In value terms, MRI equipment market in Asia-Pacific is poised to grow at the fastest compounded annual growth rate of 8.2% over the analysis period. Improved spending capability and greater awareness about healthcare services is fuelling demand for MRI technology across Asian countries. The region holds enormous growth potential, particularly from countries with large population base such as India and China. The demand is anticipated primarily from stand-alone imaging facilities, and private hospitals, as compared to public hospitals. The MRI equipment market is also likely to gain from the rising incidences of neurological, oncological, and cardiac diseases in the region. Among various segments, Closed MRI Systems, with their capability to deliver high clinical value account for largest share of the market. However, Open MRI Systems is expected to register fastest growth with a CAGR of 8.3% over the analysis period.
