FPDs are often used in medical imaging systems such as X-ray, fluoroscopy, and mammography because of their faster processing speeds, reduced levels of radiation exposure, and higher-quality images compared to conventional detectors. One of the main reasons driving market expansion is the increasing frequency of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders, which has increased the number of imaging operations. In addition, government investments in healthcare infrastructure, technological improvements, and the increasing need for veterinary imaging technologies reinforce the market's growth trajectory. Fast improvements in healthcare in emerging regions, especially in Asia-Pacific, offer profitable opportunities. For example, in May 2023, Nikon Corporation released the VOXLS 40 C 450, which is the first version of the high-performance X-ray CT series and can detect all internal and external features of objects within a wide range of application fields, including additively manufactured components.

Advancements in Technology Boost Global Flat Panel Detectors Market Growth

Advancements in imaging technology, allowing for better imaging capabilities, better patient results, and more operational efficiencies, are a major driver of the growth of the global flat panel detectors (FPD) market. High-resolution images, quicker processing times, and less radiation exposure for both patients and technicians mark a significant advancement from analog imaging to digital radiography with flat panel detectors.

Advanced detection technologies include cesium iodide (CsI) and amorphous silicon (a-Si), both of which have developed the sensitivity and effectiveness of flat panel detectors to improve their usefulness in medical imaging for the diagnostic process of the most complex ailments, including fractures, malignancies, and cardiovascular problems. Moreover, AI and machine learning have been added to imaging systems to enhance FPDs. This has enabled automated image processing, better diagnosis, and optimization of workflow.

Furthermore, advancements have made flat panel detectors portable and smaller in size, making them suitable for a variety of applications, such as point-of-care diagnostics and mobile radiography. This technical development has led to the widespread application of flat panel detectors in medical and industrial fields, improving patient care by reducing the operational burden on healthcare providers.

In November 2023, Konica Minolta, Inc. introduced X-ray with Dynamic Digital Radiography. It can be found in 4 systems from the house: KDR Advanced U-arm, KDR flex overhead, mKDR Xpress Mobile, and Chiro Straight arm Systems.  

Integration of AI to Fuel Global Flat Panel Detectors Market Growth

The introduction of artificial intelligence is significantly driving the growth of the global flat panel detectors (FPD) market by enhancing the efficiency, accuracy, and capabilities of imaging systems.

AI-based algorithms make advanced image processing possible, allowing for real-time diagnostic image analysis and interpretation. This integration reduces diagnostic errors and enhances patient care as it helps radiologists and physicians better identify anomalies. AI also makes it possible to automate diagnostic imaging workflows, which optimizes the time required for acquiring and interpreting pictures. This is crucial for high-volume medical environments requiring prompt, accurate diagnosis. Flat panel detectors have much less downtime because of predictive solutions for maintenance driven by AI, thereby lengthening their lifespan and dependability. The implementation of AI has enabled the development of intelligent imaging systems that are not only more user-friendly but also reduce radiation dose, such as automated positioning and exposure control. The use of FPDs in industrial and medical applications is increasing due to these advancements.

The increasing trend of AI-based teleradiology and remote diagnostics is adding fuel to the already increasing demand for quality imaging solutions such as FPDs. AI is likely to present more opportunities when developed further as the global FPD market expands. For example, in July 2023, Detection Technology Inc., a leading player in the industry of AI, acquired Haobo Imaging, a leading imaging technology company, and this acquisition was done with the aim to further invest in Thin-Film Transistor Technology that further uses AI models. 

Portable Flat Panel Detectors Segment Dominates the Market

Owing to its efficiency, simplicity, and adaptability, the portable flat panel detectors (FPDs) market is one of the major factors propelling the worldwide flat panel detectors market's expansion. As they are small, light, and wireless, portable FPDs are perfect for use in point-of-care diagnostics, emergency treatment, and mobile radiography. Their adaptability increases their use in a variety of contexts by allowing medical professionals to conduct imaging treatments outside of conventional hospital settings, such as in-home care, disaster areas, or distant locations. The increasing need for high-quality, real-time imaging has contributed to the rise in popularity of portable FPDs. These detectors improve patient safety and diagnostic accuracy by providing better image quality with less radiation exposure.

Additionally, they are more appealing due to their plug-and-play capability and compatibility with different imaging systems. The market for portable FPDs is growing because of their growing use in veterinary care, industrial non-destructive testing (NDT), and security inspections in addition to medical applications. This market is also being driven by the growing number of elderly people and the frequency of chronic illnesses that necessitate regular imaging. The capabilities of portable FPDs are continuously being improved by technological developments such as wireless networking and artificial intelligence integration, solidifying their position as a market leader. In December 2024, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc. introduced the mKDR Xpress Mobile X-ray System and the AeroDR Carbon Flat Panel Detector. The mKDR Xpress is the company's most compact and lightweight portable X-ray system; while, the AeroDR Carbon Flat Panel Detector, designed for general X-ray applications, is constructed from advanced carbon material infused with antibacterial technology. When used together, these devices provide a synchronized imaging solution aimed at enhancing efficiency and image quality in various clinical settings.

North America Dominates Flat Panel Detectors Market

As there is a mix of advanced healthcare infrastructure, widespread acceptance of cutting-edge technologies, and rising demand for diagnostic imaging, North America is driving the growth of the global flat panel detectors (FPD) market. The area gains from large public and commercial healthcare investments, which makes it easier to integrate cutting-edge imaging technologies such as FPDs in hospitals and diagnostic facilities. The need for accurate and effective diagnostic tools has increased due to the rising incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart problems, and orthopedic ailments. Many diagnostic imaging systems, such as X-ray, mammography, and computed tomography (CT) equipment, use flat panel detectors because of their excellent image quality, low radiation exposure, and efficiency. North America's dominance has also aided the use of FPDs in veterinary imaging in veterinary care, which is fueled by high pet ownership and expenditure on animal health.

Other factors driving regional expansion include the existence of major market competitors, ongoing technical advancements, and advantageous reimbursement policies. North America's dominance in the FPD market has been strengthened by the usage of FPDs in non-medical applications such as industrial non-destructive testing (NDT), which has increased their demand in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace. Shimadzu Medical Systems USA, a subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation, offered general radiography systems enhanced by adding advanced imaging technology using V series Glass-Free Flat Panel Detectors in July 2023.
