Over the projected period, it is anticipated that an increase in product launches by the major market players to diversify their product offerings will fuel the growth of the global fluoroscopy and c-arm market. For instance, on November 16, 2021, the diagnostic and enterprise imaging solutions provider FUJIFILM Holdings America Corporation announced the release of Persona CS mobile fluoroscopy system, a compact mobile c-arm imaging system that is designed for quick and easy positioning in operating rooms and other environments. For a variety of surgical operations, including orthopaedic, difficult surgical, pain management (anaesthesia), and emergency procedures, the durable and portable device is designed to provide superior real-time picture guidance. The global fluoroscopy and c-arms market is anticipated to develop over the course of the forecast period as a result of rising fluoroscopy and c-arms use. For instance, in November 2018, Agfa US Corp., a developer and manufacturer of imaging systems and IT solutions, was granted a group purchasing agreement with Premier, enabling Premier members to benefit from exclusive pricing and terms that Premier had pre-negotiated for Agfa's extensive line of Direct Radiography (DR) systems.
