DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "U.S. Diagnostic Imaging Centers: An Industry Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This analysis examines the $19.5 billion diagnostic imaging centers sector.
The business is highly competitive, with 6,500 facilities and with the 50 largest competitors capturing just 29% of the market. There is only one public publicly-owned company that operates a chain of imaging centers, RadNet, with $975 million in sales.
Several positive factors are impacting this industry. The U.S. is the largest medical imaging market globally due to the high disposable income of consumers. The launch of new innovative equipment by major companies will spur growth. In addition, the United States is expected to experience an accelerated rate of population aging, which leads to an increase in the demand for imaging services, since the elderly population is more prone to chronic diseases.
