Closed MRI Systems Market -
Regional Analysis
Based on geography, the Closed
MRI System Market has been segmented into North America, Latin America,
Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa. Europe holds the dominant
position in the closed MRI system market over the forecast period, owing to
high adoption of closed MRI as compared to open MRI. For instance, according to
European Magnetic Resonance Forum (EMRF) Foundation, open systems are mostly
sold in the U.S., and the market share of open system is limited in Europe.
This is creating a demand for closed MRI systems usage in the diagnosis in
Europe.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
is a non-invasive medical test that uses powerful magnetic field, radio waves,
and a computer to produce detailed virtual image of internal organs of the
body. Closed MRI systems have a tube-like tunnel with magnetic field of around
1.5 to 3.0 tesla or above to generate detailed image of the organs. Closed MRI
system is used in screening and diagnosis of brain, cardiac, spine, breast or
abdominal abnormalities. According to European Magnetic Resonance Forum (EMRF)
Foundation, the US sale of MRI machine in 2014 / 2015 was approximately 11,500
MRI systems for which one quarter is open system and rest are closed systems.
The closed MRI system market is expected to witness growth, owing to its advantages
over conventional open MRI and increasing incidence of brain and spinal
injuries.
Closed MRI Systems Market Driver
Advantages of using closed MRI
systems over open MRI systems is expected to be a major factor for growth of
the market. Closed MRI systems have field strength of 1.5 Tesla and can reach
up to 3.0 Tesla, which can give four to five times clearer imaging results as
compared to open MRI system. This advantage of wide range of field strength has
led to increasing use of these systems in lesion detection in multiple
sclerosis, nerve visibility for brachial plexus, anatomic structures in the
wrist or diagnostic accuracy for hepatic metastases.

Increasing awareness about
benefits of MRI over X-ray and other imaging techniques using harmful radiation
is also expected to propel growth of closed MRI system market in the forecast
period. For instance, over the period of January 2016 to January 2017,
3,234,690 patients underwent MRI diagnosis in England. Moreover, increasing
number of MRI machine installation is expected to enhance the closed MRI system
market growth. For instance, in March 2018, G. Greene Construction Co.
installed a Siemens 3T MRI at Boston Children’s Hospital. Furthermore, Cape
Breton Regional Hospital installed a new MRI unit, in March 2018. Increasing
incidences of spinal and brain injuries is also expected to create a conducive
environment for growth of the closed MRI market. For instance, according to
2017 Spinal Cord Injury factsheet of National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical
Center (NSCISC), the annual incidence of spinal cord injury in the U.S. is 54
cases per million or about 17,500 new cases each year.
Closed MRI Systems Market
Restraint
Owing to its closed structure,
several claustrophobic patients suffer from panic attacks during MRI diagnosis.
For instance, according to factsheet of 2014 Health Research Funding
Organization, up to 13% of the patients suffer from panic attacks due to
claustrophobia during MRI diagnosis. This is expected to be a major restraining
factor for growth of the market.

Furthermore, high cost of closed
MRI system is expected to hinder growth of the closed MRI systems market.
Moreover, lack of skilled professionals to handle the systems in emerging
countries is a major challenge for growth of the closed MRI system market. In
2016, according to the prediction of Global Health Workforce Labor Market
Projections for 2030, global demand for health workers will rise to 80 million
workers, double the current (2013) while the supply of health workers is
expected to reach 65 million over the same period, resulting in a worldwide net
shortage of 15 million health workers. According to World Health Organization
(WHO) in 2016, India is lacking with 500,000 doctors. According to the recent
study findings by Public Health Foundation of India for Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare in 2015, radiography and imaging professionals alone accounts
for 88.7% of skill gap out of 97.9% across various health workforce categories,
amounting to a huge shortage of medical laboratory technicians.
Closed MRI Systems Market –
Competitive Analysis
Key players in the closed MRI
systems market are Hitachi, Siemens Healthineers, Canon Medical Systems, GE
Healthcare, Philips, Aspect Imaging, Bruker, Aurora Imaging Technology and
Esaote S.P.A. Various strategies adopted by key players in closed MRI system
market are mergers and acquisitions. For instance, in October 2015, Toshiba
acquired medical imaging application developer, Olea Medical. The acquisition
is expected to enhance the MRI business of the company by offering Olea’s
software for advanced post-processing and image analysis as well as the
company’s relationships and agreements with research institutions and customers
will aid the MRI business.
