MRI the Fastest Growing Segment of the Global Imaging Market

Reportlinker.com has released a new report, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems: Global Market Outlook 2012-2022, that finds that MRI represents the fastest growing segment of the global medical imaging market. Despite the global recession, which has led to financial cuts in the healthcare sector in many countries, the MRI market remains solid with strong opportunities especially in emerging countries such as India and China, the report says. Longer lifespans may also be helping, as diseases that come with advanced age, such as cancer, and cardiovascular and neurological diseases, are driving demand for all types of advanced medical and diagnostic imaging equipment, including MRI, according to Reportlinker.com. Their latest pharma report adds that the global MRI systems market will be worth $10.4 billion by 2022.
