PRLog -- The global market for medical X-ray film processors is expected to generate USD 1,238.5 million in revenue by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2024 to 2030, up from USD 1,024.7 million in 2024. This growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of cancer, orthopedic conditions like arthritis, dental, and cardiac diseases, greater use of X-rays, improved awareness of early disease detection, and rising healthcare expenditure.
X-ray imaging plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and management of various conditions, including bone injuries, tumors, dental issues, and pneumonia. The use of X-ray imaging systems, and consequently X-ray films and film processors, is increasing due to the higher incidence of these and other diseases.
Additionally, the growing number of hospital partnerships with market participants for enhanced radiographic image quality is driving demand for films and film processors. This trend is further supported by the rising number of hospitals and the increasing number of dental and orthopedic surgeries worldwide, which contribute to the growing patient population and demand for these products. In India, the healthcare sector is identified as highly promising, with expectations of surpassing USD 370 billion by 2023.
