In 2021, the market for Medical X-Ray Generators worldwide was worth $0.52 billion US dollars. AMR Group projects that the market will reach US$ 1.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5 percent between 2022 and 2031.

Industry Overview
An X-ray generator is a machine that produces X-rays. An X-ray generator is a device that generates high voltage between the anode and the cathode. A transformer can be used to generate high voltage from a low voltage, alternating current (AC) supply. It is used in a variety of applications, including medicine, electronic assembly inspection, X-ray fluorescence, and material thickness calculation in manufacturing processes, when coupled with an X-ray detector. Besides this, radiographers use X-ray generators in clinical applications to obtain x-ray images of organisms' structures, such as bones, as well as during sterilization. Moreover, such machines offer better outcomes for patients, including rapid disease diagnosis, and improve the organizational safety profile. In the coming years, the related advantages are anticipated to enhance the overall market penetration of these x-ray generators.

The image in medical x-ray is created using a screen-film system, a CR recorder, and digital detectors. Analog x-ray systems were broadly used in the past as they were less costly than others. Currently, existing analogue x-ray systems in hospital facilities are being reconfigured to digital x-ray systems via modernize solutions. Adoption of digital x-ray systems is due to recent advancements in x-ray systems, which include faster image transfer, reduced radiation frequency than analogue systems, safety, and better image quality than analogue systems. X-ray systems are used in a variety of applications, including oncology, dentistry, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and others. The development of advanced systems by smart technologies, like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning, by leading medical device manufacturers has also emerged as a vital growth factor in the market.

Market Dynamics
The growing burden of chronic diseases is one of the major factors responsible for the expanding diagnostic imaging tests performed globally, which drives the Medical X-Ray Generators market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 65 million individuals worldwide suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Moreover, the increased incidences of age-related disorders such as osteoporosis as a result of the growing geriatric population is heading up demand for diagnostic imaging tests including x-rays. Nevertheless, the rising prevalence of neurological as well as musculoskeletal conditions is to held responsible for the rising number of medical x-ray procedures globally.

Medical x-ray system technological developments are one of the market's key drivers. Market technological developments interrupted the demand for analogue x-ray systems and aided in the digitization and mobilization of x-ray systems globally. The radiation produced by the x-ray may cause cell damage. Small-time exposure to x-rays, like a chest x-ray, may pose minor risks. However, repeated x-ray exposure may cause the cells to become cancerous. Such unintended consequences are impeding market growth. FUJIFILM Corporation presented an x-ray solution equipped with qXR*1, Qure.ai's computed aided diagnostic imaging software application built with deep-learning AI technology, in May 2021.

COVID Impact
COVID-19 had a negative impact on the global medical x-ray market growth. Interruptions in the diagnosis and treatment of various chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, oncology, and others, which impacted the diagnosis rate during the period, are some of the factors responsible for the market decline. Besides, restrictions imposed by various governments caused a disturbance in the supply of these x-ray systems during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the number of radiology practices and methods decreased in 2020. For example, according to a Springer study, there was a 5.1% decrease in total interventional radiology procedures performed in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, according to the NCBI, in the U.S., there was a 53.4% decrease in x-ray procedures during March to April 2020.

Regional Trend
Geographically, the global tissue diagnostics market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Globally, North America dominates the Medical X-Ray Generators market due to the high physician preference for radiographic diagnostic procedures owing to the improved patient safety.
Significant growth is anticipated in Asia-Pacific during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029, attributed to expansion strategies and high R&D investment by key players present in this region. Further to that, the availability of raw material parts at a reduced cost contributes significantly to growth in this region. The import, export, and trade of medical X-ray generators have a significant impact on the European market. Additionally, the institute projects that the number of new cases of cancer is 439.2 per 100,000 men & women per year. Also, it predicts that the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 23.6 million by 2030 in the United States
