The Global Orthopedic Imaging Market Continues To Grow Owing To the High Prevalence of the Geriatric Population in the World

 


Market Overview:

X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are the most commonly used imaging techniques in orthopedics. They are used to diagnose joint dislocations, fractures, and other bone conditions. They are also used to determine the cause of pain in joints and soft tissues. These imaging methods are essential for diagnosing orthopedic disorders and can help to determine treatment options and recovery. Musculoskeletal studies are performed by most radiologists. These tests give detailed visualization of the soft tissue anatomy. They can also be used to detect and diagnose arthritis and tendonitis. Musculoskeletal imaging is especially important in diagnosing real-time tendon pain. This information is useful for orthopedic physicians to help patients recover faster. It can also help them diagnose osteoarthritis, hip and pelvic problems, and other joint disorders.

Competitive Landscape:

Major players operating in the global orthopedic imaging market include Toshiba Corporation, EOS Imaging, Planmed OY, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Hitachi Ltd., Esaote SpA, Siemens AG, and GE Healthcare.

Key Market Drivers:

The increasing prevalence of the geriatric population in the world is expected to augment the growth of the global orthopedic imaging market. For instance, according to the United Nations, in 2019, there were around 703 million individuals aged 65 years or over in the world. X-rays are the most common type of orthopedic imaging. These scans use radioactive material to create images of bones. Digital X-rays are more accurate than traditional film X-rays and use less radiation. X-rays are also useful in diagnosing joint dislocations, fractures, and osteonecrosis. They can be used to detect other disorders, including tumors. X-rays are also used to determine the cause of osteoporosis, which is caused by decreased bone density. Moreover, the high prevalence of orthopedic care centers in the world is estimated to enhance the growth of the global orthopedic imaging market.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been several developments in the global orthopedic imaging market. For instance, in March 2022, Lokmanya Hospital and SRV Hospitals of India partnered in order to introduce an advanced Centre of Excellence in Robotic Orthopedics.

Key Takeaways:

·         North America is expected to dominate the growth of the global orthopedic imaging market, owing to the high prevalence of orthopedic hospitals in the United States. For instance, according to the U.S. News & World Report, there are around 1670 specialty orthopedic hospitals in the United States.

·         The Asia Pacific is estimated to witness high growth in the global orthopedic imaging market, owing to the high incidence of geriatric population in the region. For instance, according to The Japan Times, around 15% of the total population in Japan is aged over 75 years.

Disposable Infusion Extension Lines Market Is Growing Rapidly Due To Rise in Number of Chronic Disease Cases All Over the World

  Overview: The disposable infusion extension lines are an important part of insulin pump therapy. It allows continuous insulin delivery. It is also known as a butterfly vein set or a scalp vein set. The device consists of a hypodermic needle, flexible wings, and small bore tubing. The extension line is then attached to the insulin pump or other devices. The disposable infusion extension line market is dominated by North America. The rising incidence of road accidents is a major driving factor for the growth of the market in this region. Disposable Infusion Extension Lines Market Drivers:- Major driver for growth of the global disposable infusion extension lines market is increasing blood donation campaigns. According to a survey conducted by World Health Organization (WHO), in 2015, more than 51.2 million people in India donate blood annually. The survey also reports that the need for blood donation camps have increased due to rise in road accidents. According to a survey c...

PACS and RIS Market To Witness Substantial Growth Due To Growing Popularity of PACS around the World

  Overview: A PACS system is a database of medical images and other medical information. It is generally stored in an RIS, though radiologists may choose to view the results directly in PACS. Cloud PACS solutions, however, allow radiologists to access even more information. Moreover, many providers boast of being able to integrate PACS with RIS. However, they are unable to quantify the integration time. RIS and PACS solutions are designed to facilitate interoperability among imaging devices. This is done by creating a standardized communication interface based on DICOM standards. The RIS acts as a master system that provides image management and move control functions.   Market Dynamics: The popularity of PACS is growing all over the world and this is anticipated to propel growth of the global PACS and RIS market over the forecast period. PACS help to reduce the physical as well as time barriers linked to regular film-based retrieval, display and distribution of images. ...

Treprostinil Drugs Market - High Prevalence of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and R&D of New Formulations of Treprostinil to Augment Growth of market

  Treprostinil is an antihypertensive agent used to treat patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can also be used in the treatment of Degos disease, an extremely rare disorder in which small and medium sized arteries become blocked (occlusive arteriopathy), restricting the flow of blood to affected areas. Market Dynamics High prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension is expected to propel growth of the treprostinil drugs market . For instance, according to the study, ‘High Geographic Prevalence of Pulmonary Artery Hypertension: Associations with Ethnicity, Drug Use, and Altitude’, published in February 2020, in the journal Pulmonary Circulation, the overall pulmonary arterial hypertension incidence was 14 cases per million and the annual period prevalence of pulmonary arterial hypertension was 93 cases per million. Decline in new prescriptions for treprostinil-based products is expected to hinder growth of the treprostinil drugs market. For instance, United The...
