European medical imaging market will see continued growth
European medical imaging markets are forecasted to exceed $5.6 billion by 2017, according to a new report from TriMarkPublications.
The report analyzed five major modalities: CT, MRI, PET, SPECT and ultrasound. Ultrasound, the largest sub-segment, amounted to $1.4 billion of the $4.1 billion spent on marketing, manufacturing and developing imaging equipment and supplies in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Benelux countries, Scandinavia and the rest of Europe in 2010. Germany's medical imaging market is the largest of these countries and is predicted to increase to $1.3 billion by 2017, the report noted.
