Market Overview

The France diagnostic imaging equipment market refers to the industry that consists of manufacturing, supplying, and distributing medical equipment (diagnostic imaging devices) used to visualize the internal structures of human beings so that physicians can diagnose patients and plan for treatments. Examples of products in this diagnostic imaging equipment marketplace include X-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI machines, ultrasound instruments, nuclear imaging machines, and mammography machines. Uses for diagnostic imaging devices are seen across several industries (hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers/clinics, and research centers). The growing demand for these diagnostic imaging devices in France is driven by the increasing need for accurate and non-invasive diagnostic imaging products that will not only provide doctors with an accurate diagnosis of a patient, but also help doctors track how well the patient is progressing with their treatment and therefore help the medical community provide advanced medical care.

In France, a high burden of chronic illness and cancer. About 435,000 new cancer patients are diagnosed each year, cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death, and the need for diagnostic imaging for disease detection, monitoring, and treatment will continue to increase as France's population continues to age, with an increasing percentage of older patients requiring diagnostic imaging for age-related diseases. Approximately 43 percent of consumers living in France receive at least one medical imaging study (e.g., X-ray, CT, MRI, etc.) per year; therefore, there is a significant dependence on various forms of imaging to receive quality healthcare. Additionally, as the population of France continues to grow older, there will be an increase in the number of elderly patients who will require diagnostic imaging for age-related conditions; therefore, there will continue to be increased demand for advanced imaging systems such as CT and MRI technologies. Finally, as imaging technology evolves and preventive care/screening becomes more prevalent, this will provide additional impetus for increased adoption of these technologies and create a solid platform to support the diagnostic imaging equipment sector in France.
