FOREWORD
Universal healthcare coverage has begun to slowly create ripples of efficiency within the enormous structure of the healthcare system. Globally, the rising costs of healthcare stand in contrast to contracting budgets and credit defaults. The percentage of GDP devoted in most countries to healthcare has not dropped, but has slowed in its ascent.
Science and technology improvements have continued, and we now see iPADs as prevalently as the stethoscope. iPhones that relate vital statistics are also becoming part of the clinician’s tool belt.

Report Highlights
-
The global market for medical imaging systems is estimated to be $17 billion in 2009 and is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% from 2009 to 2014. Ultrasound systems comprise 29% of the global medical imaging systems market. X-ray systems are next, with a 24% share. Positron emission tomography has seen growth but it is the smallest segment.

BCC Research estimates that technological improvements and changes in health care cost control will cause the demand for medical device sensors to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% between 2009 and 2014, when it will approach $9 billion. Perhaps more important, much of the growth will be in one class of technology—semiconductor/MEMS sensors—which will experience a 5% CAGR as the three older technologies see minimal growth or even a decrease.
