Market Overview
Digitisation Drives Bolster Sales of Medical Imaging Displays in Europe
As vendors of medical imaging systems cleverly revamp their business models to project themselves as medical technology companies, the market for medical imaging displays has received a substantial boost. Display vendors are witnessing increased demand from picture archiving and communication system (PACS) manufacturers and traditional film system companies that have accelerated their own implementation of digital equipment. These trends will greatly encourage imaging display vendors to provide a greater range of displays, especially with data and image sharing across hospital departments and regions gaining pace.
"As medical imaging transcends the radiology department, a wider variety of end users are demanding to view patient examinations," says the analyst of this research service. "To meet this demand, considerable numbers of medical displays will need to be installed, leading to a significant increase in market revenue." Images can be used for referral, patient consultation and surgical planning. The demand for displays will rise in tandem with a wider portfolio of image users.
Inventive Marketing Strategies Required to Avert Relegation to Commodity Market
The greater need for wider network of displays has attendant issues of end users’ desire to save costs. Preference for less expensive, lower specification commodity displays, coupled with the lack of concrete, Europe-wide guidelines regarding image display equipment, is creating concerns of commoditisation for market participants. "This is compounded by the apprehensions of some vendors that high volume consumer electronic firms will eventually enter the market with their economies of scale and marketing resources," notes the analyst. "For specific medical display companies to prosper in the long term, price cuts in the short term will be necessary to gain business and shore up market share and brand loyalty."
Companies will have to radically reformulate their internal cost structure to achieve these price cuts. They may have to shift manufacturing activities to low-cost regions or revise and intensify marketing efforts. They could win over resellers and distributors of commodity displays by providing them with incentives for promoting products. This will improve visibility of medical imaging displays, creating greater awareness among conservative spenders about their superior image quality and tailored functionality at a cost that is no longer prohibitive. Companies looking to sustain or improve their market positions need to promote awareness of both the clinical and financial benefits of medical grade displays.Table of Contents 1. Executive Summary
