DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hzb844/diagnostic) has announced the addition of the "Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Market by Modality - Emerging Markets (BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India, and China) - 2011-2018" report to their offering.

Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Market by Modality [Digital X-ray Imaging, Ultrasound (Color Doppler, Portable), Magnetic Resonance Imaging, CT Scanner (Low-, Mid-, & High-end), Mammography, PET, SPECT] - Emerging Markets (BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India, and China) - 2011-2018

The BRIC diagnostic imaging equipment market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% and reach $7.6 billion by 2018

The growth of the BRIC diagnostic imaging equipment market is primarily triggered by factors such as increasing launches of low-cost diagnostic imaging systems, growing prevalence of cancer and cardiac diseases, rapidly aging population, and rising public and private funding to develop healthcare infrastructure in the emerging countries.

In addition, numerous initiatives have been taken by leading market players, such as launch of diagnostics centers and academic institutes to improve diagnostic imaging facilities in BRIC nations.

These initiatives are further aiding the growth of the BRIC diagnostic imaging equipment market. However, factors such as high cost of diagnostic imaging systems, side-effects of radiation exposure, and shortage of helium are restraining the growth of the BRIC diagnostic imaging equipment market. Improving healthcare infrastructure and low cost of imaging procedures in emerging markets are creating opportunities for the growth of the diagnostic imaging equipment market in BRIC countries.

Carestream Health (U.S.), Esaote S.p.A (Italy), GE Healthcare (U.K.), Hitachi Medical Corporation (Japan), Hologic, Inc. (U.S.), Philips Healthcare (Netherlands), Samsung Medison (South Korea), Shimadzu Corporation (Japan), Siemens Healthcare (Germany), and Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (Japan) are the key players operating in the BRIC diagnostic imaging equipment market.
