Analysis of the Current Status and Future of DR and CR Technologies and Sector in Europe

A new report shows that sales of Digital Radiology (DR) systems in Europe are expected to increase, while Computed Radiography (CR) will shrink, in part because of a need to increase workflow efficiency.

A lack of skilled healthcare workers together with an increase in the number of patients has resulted in the need to increase the efficiency of workflow solutions in hospitals in Europe. As a result, revenue and shipments in the CR market are declining, while investment in DR solutions is increasing in hospitals. Small hospitals and diagnostic centers will continue to rely on CR technology for the time being.

The report and analysis of the European DR and CR markets was released by Frost & Sullivan (Mountain View, CA, USA). The authors of the report predict that the DR and CR market in Europe will be sustained only by demand for replacement systems in the next two years. In the longer term, revenues from CR system will decrease from USD 117.4 million in 2014 to USD 86.7 million in 2019, while revenues from DR are expected to reach USD 202.7 million in 2019, up from USD 131.0 million in 2014. Manufacturers that can offer DR systems packaged with a Radiology Information System (RIS) and Picture Archive and Communications System (PACS), or a varied product portfolio have the advantage, as well as solution providers that develop long-term relationships with healthcare institutions.

Frost & Sullivan Healthcare Consultant Poornima Srinivasan, said, “Solution providers must place emphasis on cost-effective innovation in order to stay afloat. With flat detector panels available at half the price they were five years ago, the technology required to build DR detectors, in particular, will become affordable. Moreover, fixed and mobile DR systems are gaining acceptance over retrofit additions, widening device applicability and market scope. Interoperable point-of-care DR technologies such as portable and wireless systems, especially, are making rapid headway into the region’s healthcare sector.”
