The recent pandemic is causing turbulence to the economies of the South and Central America. Due to the less developed economies, majority of the countries are depended on the suppliers of medical devices and diagnostic equipment. The shut down due to corona virus is hampering the supply chain distribution of mobile X-ray systems in the region. Moreover, the healthcare facilities in the region are giving more priorities to curbing corona rather than any other disease. Also, most of the diagnostic centers are highly engaged in diagnosis of corona, which leading to drastic reduction in breast examinations. However, positive response to the new technologies to deal with coronavirus is expected to have considerable impact on the market. For instance, in August 2020, healthcare professionals in Brazil adopted a new AI-based tool to fight against coronavirus. The new software is capable of analyzing X-ray images and CT scans of chest, easing the diagnosis of coronavirus infection. The system is called as RadVid-19, developed by Siemens Healthcare and Huawei in collaboration.

The market for hospital mobile x-ray market is segmented into technology, configuration, and ward. Based on technology, the hospital mobile X-ray market is segmented into computed radiography and direct radiography. In 2019, the computed radiography systems segment accounted for the highest share of the market. Growth of this segment is attributed to increasing adoption rate of these advanced devices for medical examinations and rising number of advanced diagnostic imaging facilities. However, direct radiography segment is anticipated to register higher CAGR by 2027.
