Diagnostic Electrocardiograph (ECG) Market to 2020: Product (Resting, Stress, Holter Monitor) & Lead Type (Single, 3-6, 12) Analysis
M2 - Wed Jul 23, 9:43AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/nwbk54/diagnostic) has announced the addition of the "Diagnostic Electrocardiograph (ECG) Market by Product, End-user & by Lead Type - Global Forecast to 2020" report to their offering. The overall market was valued at $3,683 million in 2013 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% by 2020. The market is driven by the rise in geriatric population, growing incidences of lifestyle diseases, and technological advancements. However, the decline of reimbursement policies will restrain the growth of this market to an extent. The holter monitor ECG devices will be the most fruitful segment for the companies to invest in the coming years. The resting ECG devices segment was the leading segment owing to the expanding geriatric population and growing incidences of cardiac diseases and other lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. The holter diagnostic ECG device on the other hand was the fastest growing segment and is expected to grow at a healthy pace in the coming years, driven by the advancements in technology. While segmenting the market with respect to number of leads the 3-6 lead segment had the largest market share followed by the 12 lead segment. The 3-6 lead segment is also expected to grow at the fastest pace in the forecast period from 2013 to 2020. More number of leads captures more signals, thereby giving a detailed outlook. This makes it easier for providers to better interpret the electrical activity of the heart. Thus, 3-6 lead and 12-lead ECG device segments will grow at higher CAGRs than single-lead ECG devices. With respect to the end users, the global diagnostic ECG market is divided into hospitals, home/ambulatory care research centers, diagnostic centers, rehabilitation centers, clinics, physician offices, and surgical centers. The hospital segment will observe a high growth due to the new technologies launched and the purchasing of an entire new suit of diagnostic ECG devices.

Global Bone Densitometers Market Report 2014
M2 - Tue Jul 22, 5:26AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2qpmg5/global_bone) has announced the addition of the "Global Bone Densitometers Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. Advances in bone densitometer technology coupled with an increase in access of these technologies in emerging markets such as China, Brazil, Japan, and India is serving as an opportunity for investors. New product introductions have been observed across a wide range of bone measurement technologies. The most accurate and widely accepted technique is axial/central DEXA. Lunar iDXA for bone health by GE Healthcare and DXA Technology by Hologic are some of the products launched in this market, which enhanced the growth opportunities in emerging economies. According to the report, the Global Bone Densitometers market is driven by several factors, of which the increase in the aging population is one of the major drivers. As a person ages, the incidence of bone-related disorders such as osteoporosis also increases, resulting in the demand for bone densitometers. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the high cost of bone densitometers. Despite the numerous benefits, the high cost of treatment options hinders the acceptability among patients. Also, as a result of this, patients are reluctant to opt for such devices and prefer medications. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors. The Global Bone Densitometry market can be divided into two segments: - Axial Bone Densitometer - Peripheral Bone Densitometer. Key Vendors - CooperSurgical Inc. - Diagnostic Medical Systems S.A - GE Healthcare Ltd - Hologic Inc. Other Prominent Vendors - BeamMed Ltd - CompuMed Inc. - Lone Oak Medical Technologies LLC - Osteometer MediTech Inc.

Concise Analysis of the International Bone Densitometers Market - Forecasts to 2019
M2 - Mon Feb 10, 5:13AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jgll5h/bone) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Bone Densitometers Market - Forecasts to 2019" report to their offering. Bone densitometer devices allow non-invasive, quantitative measurement of bone mass or density. Presently, the demand for bone densitometers is high and is continuously risingas it caters to the needs of the growing elderly population and the high incidence rates of osteoporosis and various associated fractures.Various methods available for measuring bone mineral density and strength use ionizing radiation or ultrasound. The preferred sites of bone density measurement are axial/central skeleton (hip and spine) or peripheral skeleton (forearm, wrist, heel, phalanges). At present a broad range of bone densitometers along with number of technologies are available in the market for bone density measurement. The most accurate and widely accepted technique is axial/central dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), while axial/central and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (QCT) are the only current methods which provide an actual volumetric measurement of bone mass.Axial DEXA bone densitometers form the largest segment,in the total market, owing to their improved accuracy and precision and wide acceptance by the end users. Need for trained professionals and high cost as well as huge device size leads to lowering the adoption of axial DEXA systems, particularly in financially lagged countries. Thus growing preference for cost containment measures as well as introduction of portable devices along with increase in awareness for disease diagnosis will together aid in sustaining the growing acceptance of bone densitometers worldwide.
