Middle East and Africa Portable X Ray Devices Market Size

Middle East and Africa Portable X-Ray Devices Market Analysis

The Middle East and Africa Portable X Ray Devices Market size is estimated at USD 321.39 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 465.07 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7.67% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

COVID-19 had a big effect on the portable X-ray device market in the Middle East and Africa. Because of the lockdown, many radiological exams and services were delayed, and some of the x-ray services grew in order to find COVID-19.For example, according to an article published in Radiography journal in May 2021, the workload changed in two ways: it went up by 38% because of pressure on general x-rays and CT scans as the initial and follow-up tests for COVID-19 patients, and it went down by 23% because of national and international advice to do less non-urgent work in the Middle East, North Africa, and India.Even though PPE was easy to get, staff in the radiology department were still worried about getting COVID-19.The study discovered that 42.9% of respondents started experiencing work-related stress after the COVID-19 pandemic began, and 57.1% thought they could need professional help dealing with stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. But now that the rules are less strict, the portable X-ray devices market in the Middle East and Africa is likely to grow in the coming years.

Market growth is being driven by things like the growing number of older people with mobility problems in the area.Most of the time, getting older means that you are more likely to get chronic diseases and that your bones and muscles get weaker.Due to the rapid growth of the elderly population, the number of age-related disorders has gone up, and a big part of this group has trouble moving around. This has caused the market to grow.For instance, as per the IEMED Mediterranean Yearbook 2022, the number of people aged 70 and older is estimated to be 61,788 by 2060 in the Middle East and Africa region. Also, more product launches and product shows are expected to increase the demand for portable x-ray products in the area that was studied.For example, at the Arab Health 2021 conference in Dubai in June 2021, Micro-X showed off its Micro-X Rover mobile X-ray unit.At a booth set up by Micro-X's new distributor for the EMEA region, the Rover mobile X-ray machine was shown off.The healthcare community was shown by Micro-X's technical sales staff how the Rover's imaging, design, ease of use, and maneuverability are all state-of-the-art.

So, the Middle East and Africa portable X-ray devices market is expected to grow a lot over the next few years because there are more older people and more new products coming out in the studied region. But the high risk of being exposed to radiation is likely to slow market growth during the study period.
