Summary

REPORT HIGHLIGHT
The medical x-ray generator market is estimated to represent a global market of USD 1,403 million by 2017 with growth rate of 3.2%.

Market Dynamics

Medical x-ray generators are primarily used to generate visual representations of the internal organs for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. These devices act by modifying the voltage and the current, which is modulated to a desired level within an x-ray tube, to generate an X-Ray beam. This generator enables to convert electrical energy into x-rays within the X-ray tube. X-ray generators are widely used for to treat and diagnose various cardiac problems such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, and others. Across the globe, the number of individuals suffering from cardiovascular disorders is on the rise. For example, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular is the number one cause of death globally compared to any other disease condition. The organization estimated that in 2017, around 17.7 million people die due to cardiac disorders, representing more than 31% of the global death.
