DR markets expected to grow

The world market for digital radiography (DR) systems is expected to produce $844.2 million in revenues by 2010, according to a new market research report by Global Industry Analysts of San Jose, CA.

The company found that the conversion of radiology departments from film-based radiography is fueling DR equipment installations. The world DR market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.9% from 2011 through 2015. In terms of unit sales, DR systems in Europe are forecast to reach 393 units by 2012.

U.S., Japan, and Europe are the leading markets, with an estimated combined market share of more than 82% (based on dollars) in 2008.
