Development of New Clinical Applications and Replacement of Field Strengths Drive Demand for MRI Systems in Europe

Representing one of the strongest markets in the medical imaging industry, MRI systems are diagnostic tools that are widely employed by physicians in Europe today. However, there are multiple challenges such as increasing pricing pressures, regulatory issues and competition from CT that need to be overcome in the European MRI systems market. Despite these challenges, the market is expected to witness growth. The scope for growth is related to the introduction of new applications. While the European MRI market is a mature one, it is not yet saturated and there are few unexplored niche segments which offer huge potential.

"The European MRI systems market is primarily driven by the current wide variety of applications and constant development of new ones," notes the analyst of this research service. "With constant upgrades in Tesla strength, the number of applications using MRI is increasing from the research point of view and is also becoming commercially viable." In addition, with advancements in neurological, cardiac and vascular, as well as breast MRI, the market is seeing growth fundamentally due to the application potential. Each new clinical application increases the usage of MRI systems.

Financial Constraints of the European Healthcare System Deter Market Growth

The current state of the European healthcare system is acting as a deterrent to market growth. "The European healthcare industry is experiencing severe financial constraints from having to support an aging population, with contributions from a small portion of working population," explains the analyst. "As a result, the governments of various nations are wary of the fact that healthcare spending is exceedingly high and one of the interesting ways in which nations are reducing health care costs is by simply not buying additional equipment." Apart from this, differing reimbursement policies in various geographical regions in the European Union are yet another hurdle. Additionally, there is also the inherent challenge arising due to competition from CT.

In the future, the ultra high field systems segment will eventually capture the market share of the high field segment. Moreover, as the overall market is heading toward saturation, market participants will need to concentrate on niche segments. Targeting niche markets can be either through the acquisition of existing small local participants or through the introduction of new products.
