Egypt X-Ray Imaging System Market By Mobility (Portable and Standalone), By Source (Domestic and Import), By End Users (Hospitals & Clinics, Diagnostic Centers, Ambulatory Care Centers, and others), By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2028

Egypt X-ray imaging system market is expected to grow at an impressive rate during the forecast period, 2024-2028. This is on account of the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing advancement in technologies, and rising cases of road accidents leading to an increase in the demand for X-ray imaging systems for the diagnosis of bone injuries. Moreover, increasing awareness about disease diagnosis and healthcare among people is leading to the increased demand for X-ray imaging systems to prevent the pre diagnosis of various disease conditions.

Furthermore, the growing adoption of mobile and digital X-ray techniques is driving the growth of the X-ray imaging market and is increasing the frequency of demand during conditions such as the COVID-19 pandemic

Technological advancements play a significant role in driving the growth of the X-ray imaging system industry in Egypt. With the increasing demand for better diagnostic tools, manufacturers are continuously introducing new and improved X-ray machines that offer better image quality and greater accuracy. This has led to an increase in the adoption of X-ray imaging system in Egypt, as healthcare providers seek to output the benefits of these advanced technologies.

Growing Healthcare Facility and Infrastructure

Government policies are another important driver of the X-ray imaging system industry in Egypt. The government has been investing heavily in healthcare infrastructure, including the installation of new X-ray machines in public hospitals and clinics across the country. Additionally, the government has implemented policies to improve access to healthcare services, including X-ray imaging, for the general population. This has led to an increase in demand for X-ray imaging services, as more people seek to take advantage of these services. The country has a growing population, with a large proportion of young people. The increase in population has driven the demand for healthcare services, including X-ray imaging. Additionally, the aging population in Egypt is contributing to the growth of the industry, as older people require more medical attention, including diagnostic imaging services.

X-ray images used in the diagnosis of cancer suspects enables radiologists to differentiate if areas of suspected lung lesions are cancer or just areas where multiple blood vessels or dense tissue overlap on an image. This clarity is essential in diagnosis and can be utilized in the detection of dreadful disease such as cancer.

Additionally, the screening techniques including X-ray imaging is leading to the increased security for the pre diagnosis of disease ,which can  lead to early treatment of several life-threatening diseases on time. This adds to the healthcare facilities to increase patient security among the public by preventing disease onset and at the same time is contributing to support the growth of the X-ray imaging system market.

Increasing Incidences of Road Accidents in Egypt

With one of the highest rates of traffic fatalities in the world, Egypt has experienced a considerable rise in traffic accidents in recent years. In severe accidents many victims need X Ray in case of an injury The rise in the number of traffic accidents has increased the demand for X-ray imaging systems in Egypt. The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics in Egypt reports that 6,164 fatalities from traffic accidents were reported in 2021. According to the NADA Foundation for Safer Egyptian Roads (a voluntary organization in Egypt), death rate due to road accidents in Egypt is among the highest in the world. Also, it is estimated that in Egypt around 50,000 people are injured or disabled every year due to road traffic accidents, which leads to create a huge demand for X-ray imaging systems in the country.

Advancements in Technology and Product Launch

Technological advancements in X-ray imaging systems have led to an increase in the demand for X-ray imaging methods, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Advanced technology such as digital medical imaging technology has become an important part of facilitating clinicians to achieve more accurate and efficient medical diagnoses. Also, technological advancements such as development of portable X-ray imaging systems and development of clearer or refined imaging methods are further increasing the demand for X-ray imaging systems in Egypt. For instance, Fujifilm introduced the "FDR Xair" portable X-ray device, which offers several outreach medical screening services. The FDR Xair device is lightweight (3.5 kilograms) and easier to operate. The portable device is perfect for patients in remote places who require out-of-hospital care. The system offers higher-resolution images when coupled with digital radiography FDR D-EVO II with Virtual Grid image-processing technology. Additionally, Fujifilm successfully carried out tuberculosis (TB) screenings among difficult-to-reach groups using the robust FDR Xair.

In 2022, Fujifilm introduced the FDR Cross, a mobile surgical C-arm system that uses digital technology and offers higher-resolution images. Smart Flurocart system FDR Cross was created with variable detector sizes for flexibility. This single FDR Cross offers a single platform for fluoroscopy, real-time X-ray imaging, and digital radiography systems all on a single platform.

Digital Radiography (DR) technology has replaced traditional X-ray films with digital sensors that capture images electronically. This technology provides higher resolution images with reduced radiation exposure to patients. DR technology is widely used in Egypt, particularly in private clinics and hospitals.

Growing Susceptibility of Bone Injuries Among Geriatric Population

As people age, their bones become less dense and more prone to fractures, leading to a growing susceptibility of bone injuries among the geriatric population. This is because bone mass peaks in people between 45-65 years and then gradually declines. Additionally, age-related changes in bone structure and strength may contribute to an increased risk of fractures.

Osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become brittle and weak, is a major cause of fractures in older adults. Women are particularly vulnerable to osteoporosis after menopause, as estrogen levels decline, and bone loss accelerates. However, men can also develop osteoporosis, especially if they have low levels of testosterone or take certain medications. Also, other factors that can increase the risk of bone injuries among older adults include a history of falls, poor nutrition, chronic health conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease, and medications that can weaken bones or increase the risk of falls. This increase in osteoporosis and cases of fractures due to mechanical falls among the geriatric population is driving the demand for X-ray imaging systems, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Growing Prevalence of Lung Diseases

Early diagnosis of various disease conditions, including chronic health issues, require X-ray imaging techniques and is thereby observed to contribute to the growth of X-ray imaging techniques. Also, X-ray imaging can detect early signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, before symptoms become apparent. Early detection of COPD can allow for prompt treatment and management, which can slow the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life. X-ray imaging leads to improved accuracy about the lung health and conditions. X-ray imaging can provide accurate and detailed images of the lungs, allowing healthcare professionals to identify any abnormalities or changes that may indicate COPD. X-ray imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic tool, which does not require any incisions or insertion of instruments into the body. This makes it a safer and less painful option for patients compared to other diagnostic procedures.

 X-ray imaging is a cost-effective diagnostic tool compared to other imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Furthermore, the X Ray imaging technique is highly utilized for monitoring disease progression in a patient. It can be used to monitor the progression of COPD and the effectiveness of treatment. Repeat X-rays can show changes in the lungs over time, allowing healthcare professionals to adjust treatment plans accordingly. Also X-ray imaging can be used to identify other lung conditions that may mimic COPD, such as pneumonia or lung cancer.
