Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MARKET

MRI system is one of the booming sectors in the medical imaging information system market.  The combination of magnetic field and radio waves to provide enhanced images of the human anatomy is driving the installation of MRI systems among the end users (diagnostic centers, hospitals). MRI system market is expected to witness enormous growth due to innovations that are largely focused on enhancing image quality and escalating cost saving among the end users.

Key Trends

• Significant demand can be expected from the dedicated MRI system due to the benefits offered in terms of image quality and cost effectiveness.
• Continuous enhancement in Tesla strength of the MRIs is expected to provide a desired boost in the growth of the global MRI market.
• Higher Tesla rates are preferred as they indicate high quality and enable quick inspection.

Geographic analysis

• U.S:  U.S. forms the largest market segment both in unit and dollars terms. More than 50% of the MRI sales are contributed by High field MRIs in the U.S.
• Asia: Japan MRI market remains saturated with significant current market revenues. However, the MRI market is emerging in regions such as India, China, Singapore and it is expected to poise a higher growth rate thus providing a lucrative opportunity to the MRI manufacturers and vendors.
• Europe: EU countries have dedicated healthcare budgets. However, the current volumes, especially in Eastern Europe are not very significant keeping in mind the market potential. This offers significant opportunities for players focusing European markets.

The replacement of existing MRI units forms the largest segment as the effective life of these systems is 7 years. This is resulting in significant sales from replacement buyers. However due to huge cost associated, budget conscious end users postpone replacement to about 12 years, thereby adding up to the maintenance cost.
