X-ray Tubes Market

X-ray Tubes Market: Introduction

• X-ray tube is an air evacuated vacuum tube that converts electrical energy to produce other forms of radiation including X-rays, which are used for imaging purposes
• An X-ray tube consists of different parts and elements. The two basic and principal elements are cathode and anode. A cathode provides electrons that are received by the anode to produce and release X-rays.
• An X-ray tube has other elements such as air evacuated vacuum tube also known as the envelop, tube housing, a rotor, an induction motor, and other components such as cooling oil and expansion bellows
• Envelop is an important component of an X-ray tube which contains the cathode and the anode to produce X-rays. The anode is a major component, which produces X-rays, apart from dissipating the heat produced in the process.

Key Drivers, Restrains, and Opportunities of Global X-ray Tubes Market

• Rise in prevalence of chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular drives health care reforms to increase emphasis on early diagnosis of diseases. This, in turn, increases demand for and subsequent rise in the number of diagnostic tests performed globally each year. This fueled the growth of the global X-ray tubes market in 2020.
• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 9 million computed tomography scans were performed globally in 1980. Rise in demand for diagnostic tests and introduction of new & advanced products and technologies in the market such as computed tomography (CT) imaging have increased the number of CT scans across the world. Nearly 80 million scans are performed each year in the U.S. alone.
• Technological advancements in X-ray tubes and introduction of new & advanced imaging techniques based on X-rays are expected to drive the global X-ray tubes market during the forecast period
• Presently, the world is struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic. This infection leads to pneumonia, severe & acute respiratory disorders, multiple organ failure, and, in severe cases, death. The severity of the disease can be predicted and the reduction of the risks of occurrence of serious respiratory complications can be achieved by using X-ray scans or CT scans, as it is a rapid screening and accurate method to eliminate the lethal complications. This is likely to drive the global market.
• However, rise in concerns about X-ray radiation exposure leading to cancer has led to the development and adoption of newer and safer techniques of imaging. This is projected to restrain the global X-ray tubes market during the forecast period.

North America to Capture Major Share of Global X-ray Tubes Market

• The global X-ray tubes market can be segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
• North America dominated the global X-ray tubes market in 2020 and the trend is anticipated to continue during the forecast period. High awareness and implementation of preventive care and early diagnosis increase demand for X-ray tubes in the U.S. and Canada.
• Europe is expected to account for the second major share of the global market during the forecast period due to well-established health care infrastructure and hub for key industry players in the region.
• The X-ray tubes market in Asia Pacific is likely to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to expanding health care infrastructure. Moreover, increase in the geriatric population and presence of large patient pool are projected to propel the market in the region.
