X-Ray Detectors Global Market Report 2024

X-ray detectors are devices that convert X-rays into visible light using an electric current. They play a crucial role in medical imaging for diagnostic procedures, including X-ray radiography, mammography, computed tomography (CT), and angiography. These detectors are employed to measure various properties of X-rays, such as spatial distribution, spectrum, and flux.

The primary components include cameras, frame grabbers, optics, lighting equipment, processors, software, and other related elements. Frame grabbers play a key role in image processing and the analysis of cell motion, aiding in the detection of faults through surface inspection. Surface types can be categorized as 2D and 3D, and these inspection systems are deployed in various configurations, including traditional systems and robotic cells. Surface inspection technologies find applications in sectors such as semiconductor, automotive, electrical and electronics, glass and metal, food and packaging, medical and pharmaceuticals, plastic and rubber, printing, and others.

This X-ray detectors market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The x-ray detectors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.73 billion in 2023 to $5.14 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as increased healthcare spending, an aging population, compliance with regulatory standards, the demand for digital imaging technologies, and the emergence of new markets in the healthcare sector. These factors collectively contributed to the growth of X-ray detectors in the historic period.

The x-ray detectors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.44 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in chronic diseases, increased investments in research and development, growing awareness about early disease diagnosis, an increase in healthcare spending, and a rise in disposable income. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into X-ray detectors, the development of portable and wireless solutions, advancements in 3D and multimodal imaging, the creation of thinner and flexible detectors, and a focus on customization and personalization in X-ray imaging technologies.

The growth of the X-ray detectors market is significantly influenced by the increasing number of cancer cases. Cancer, characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation leading to tumors, can be detected in various bodily components such as bones and organs using X-ray detectors. As per a report by the American Cancer Society, the global cancer burden is projected to reach 28.4 million cases by 2040, reflecting a 47% increase from 2020. Consequently, the surge in cancer cases is anticipated to be a driving force behind the growth of the X-ray detectors market.

The anticipated rise in chronic diseases is set to propel the X-ray detectors market's growth. Chronic diseases, lasting for three months or more and worsening over time, are diagnosed and monitored using X-ray detectors, providing detailed images for medical analysis. For instance, the National Library of Medicine reported that the number of individuals in the US aged 50 and older with at least one chronic condition is expected to increase by 99.5% to 142.66 million by 2050. Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) highlighted that 74% of all deaths globally are caused by noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases annually. Hence, the escalating prevalence of chronic diseases contributes to the growth of the X-ray detectors market.

Major players in the X-ray detectors market are leveraging innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance their product offerings. The integration of AI in X-ray detectors improves image analysis, facilitating faster and more accurate medical condition diagnoses. For instance, Carestream Health introduced the DRX-Rise mobile X-ray system in May 2023, featuring a powerful Eclipse processing engine with AI capabilities to provide high-quality images while reducing errors. The system is designed for easy maneuverability in crowded and sensitive areas like intensive care units (ICUs) and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Strategic partnerships are a key approach adopted by major companies in the X-ray detectors market to enhance their capabilities. This involves companies collaborating to leverage each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. In September 2023, Quantum Detectors, a UK-based company specializing in direct electron detectors, partnered with Amsterdam Scientific Instruments (ASI). Under this partnership, Quantum Detectors became the exclusive distributor of ASI’s Electron Microscopy and X-ray detectors. Amsterdam Scientific Instruments (ASI) is a Netherlands-based company focusing on advanced and customized detector solutions for researchers.

In August 2021, Rigaku Corporation, an international manufacturer based in Japan specializing in X-ray instrumentation, acquired MILabs B.V. The acquisition aimed to expand Rigaku Corporation's life sciences modality business and strengthen its portfolio in Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), Optical Imaging, and Computed Tomography (CT). MILabs B.V, based in the Netherlands, is a manufacturer of life-science imaging equipment.
