Top Companies in X-Ray Detectors

The global X-ray detectors market is projected to reach USD 4.4 billion by 2030 from USD 3.4 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. The increasing worldwide prevalence of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and orthopedic disorders in all age groups is fueling the demand for accurate and timely diagnosis. Imaging is instrumental in diagnosing and tracking these conditions, leading to an increasing dependence by physicians on X-ray detectors. X-ray detectors are necessary diagnostic devices, providing high-resolution images to facilitate early detection, accurate assessment, and enhanced treatment planning. Improvements in detector technology—e.g., increased sensitivity, increased processing speeds, and less radiation exposure—are further accelerating their use in routine and specialized clinical practice.

As of 2024, the key players operating in the global X-ray detectors market are Varex Imaging (US), Canon (Japan), Thales Group (France), Analogic Corporation (US), Agfa-Gevaert Group (Belgium), Carestream Health (US), Drtech (South Korea), Detection Technology PLC (Finland), Fujifilm Holdings Corporation (Japan), and Hamamatsu Photonics K.K (Japan), among others.
