The global Medical X-Ray Film Printer market is undergoing a notable decline, influenced by the widespread adoption of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in developed nations, which has largely phased out traditional film printing. These printers, available as general and self-service types, are used to produce physical X-ray films from digital data, primarily serving regions where PACS infrastructure remains limited, such as developing countries.
