Expansion of the market in Asia-Pacific is attributed to the large base of dental clinics and hospitals, rise in number of geriatric population requiring dental services, and increase in adoption of digital technologies in dental, orthopedic, oncology, and practices. The market for a-Si X-ray flat panel detectors market in Latin America is likely to expand at a moderate growth rate.

The global healthcare industry is witnessing increasing number of diagnostic imaging tests being performed each year, owing to several factors including rise in focus on minimally invasive diagnostic tests, surge in prevalence of chronic diseases, and other macro-economic factors such as increase in per capita healthcare expenditure. Higher incidence of cancer and sports injuries presents a large patient pool undergoing diagnostic imaging tests each year, especially in emerging countries.

New digital X-ray system dominates the market and the segment is estimated to hold considerable market share

Healthcare facilities are constantly shifting from computed radiography (CR) systems to digital radiography (DR) systems. New digital X-ray systems help medical professionals to understand the disease in the early phase.

The portable segment is projected to lead the a-Si X-ray flat panel detectors market

Availability of new and innovative products in the market and increasing preference for portable detectors by small hospitals are key factors responsible for the high growth rate of the portable segment.

Dentistry and orthopedics lead the market

In terms of application, the market has been segregated into cardiovascular, oncology, orthopedic, dentistry, and others. The dentistry segment is likely to account for a leading share of the market. The factors attributed to the higher share held by the segment include rise in number of dental CBCT scans performed every year, reduced image-processing time, and enhanced visual image quality.

Asia-Pacific offers significant business development opportunity

North America and Europe accounted for a key share of the global a-Si X-ray flat panel detectors market in 2017. They are likely to gain market share by the end of 2026. High adoption of a-Si X-ray flat panel detectors, high digital healthcare IT budgets, and government initiatives to promote digital healthcare facilities have contributed to the leading share held by these region in the global a-Si X-ray flat panel detectors market. Asia-Pacific is projected to be a highly attractive market for a-Si X-ray flat panel detectors. The market in Asia-Pacific is projected expand at a high CAGR of over 5.5 percent, due to a large number of dental and orthopedic clinics in emerging countries such as India, China, and well-established dental facilities and high digital healthcare IT budgets in countries such as Japan, Australia & New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore. The market in Latin America and Middle East & Africa is anticipated to expand at a moderate growth rate.

Key trend of acquisition and collaboration among the leading players to increase geographic presence has been observed in the last few years
