South America C-Arms Market Analysis
The South America C-Arms Market size is estimated at USD 334.87 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 431.07 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.34% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of surgical procedures decreased during the early pandemic in South American countries, which resulted in a decreased demand for C-arms. For instance, according to an article published by PubMed Central in January 2023, a study was conducted in Brazil, which showed that there was a significant reduction in the total number of consultations (24.8%) and the number of attending patients (20.2%).

The article also stated that an estimated 16,710 new cases of cervical cancer are expected in Brazil in 2022, with a rate of 16.35 cases per 100,000 women.
