Medical imaging equipment is a variety of instruments that use various media as information carriers to reproduce the internal structure of the human body into images. The image information has spatial and temporal corresponding relationships with the actual structure of the human body. Medical imaging equipment is an indispensable component of hospital medical equipment and an important manifestation of the hospital's comprehensive strength. It not only provides important guarantees for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but also provides an important platform for clinical scientific research. As a comprehensive platform, imaging equipment plays an important role in promoting the development of hospitals.
The global medical imaging equipment market is the largest component of the global medical equipment market. The global medical imaging equipment market has been steadily growing, with its market size increasing from $58 billion in 2017 to $70.4 billion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.9%. In the future, the aging population, technological development, and increasing healthcare expenses will drive the global demand for medical imaging equipment and accelerate the growth of the global medical imaging equipment market.
Due to the non-invasive and relatively safe nature of medical imaging technology, it is widely used in China. In recent years, the Chinese medical imaging equipment market has developed rapidly, with its market size increasing from 65.5 billion yuan in 2017 to 95.4 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 9.8%.
Compared with foreign countries, medical imaging equipment in China started relatively late. With the development of China's medical industry and the upgrading of some hospital equipment, as well as people's attention to health. In recent years, the market demand for medical imaging diagnostic equipment in China has grown rapidly, objectively driving the development of the medical imaging diagnostic equipment industry. In the process of rapid development, some enterprises have continuously grown and strengthened, forming a certain degree of competitiveness. The market share of domestically produced medical imaging diagnostic equipment has increased.
The "Development Forecast and Investment Analysis Report of China's Medical Imaging Diagnostic Equipment Industry from 2023 to 2028" released by Ruiguan Industrial Research Institute consists of thirteen chapters. Firstly, a brief history, main types, and characteristics of medical imaging diagnostic equipment were introduced, followed by an analysis of the development of ultrasound imaging diagnostic equipment, computed tomography (CT) systems, and magnetic resonance imaging equipment. Subsequently, the market development overview of medical imaging diagnostic equipment was elaborated from multiple perspectives, including the operational status, advantages, and technological development of key domestic and foreign enterprises. Based on this, scientific predictions were made on the development prospects of medical imaging diagnostic equipment.
