X-ray Detectors Market Size

X-ray Detectors Market Size

The global X-ray detectors market size was valued at USD 4 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 7.1 billion in 2034, growing at a CAGR of 6% from 2025 to 2034. X-ray detectors are devices that convert the energy from X-ray radiation into visual or electronic signals for imaging applications. These detectors find applications in various fields such as medical and dental.
 

Increasing awareness of disease detection, and the growing burden of chronic diseases, have triggered a global increase in the demand for early diagnosis of diseases. Globally, cancer is one of the foremost causes of death. For instance, in the U.S., as per the data from the National Institute of Health (NIH), in 2024, an estimated 2,001,140 new cases of cancer and 611,720 deaths were expected in the U.S., owing to cancer. The chance of surviving cancer significantly improves with screening tests and diagnostic exams. Thus, there is an increased demand for x-ray detectors globally to enable effective detection of cancer.
 

Moreover, the efficacy of x-ray detection has greatly improved because of advancements in technology. Quality of the images being produced and the quality of diagnosis has also improved. Digital x-ray detectors have been developed to replace film-based systems. Capturing images with direct digital radiography (DR) systems is instantaneous and does not need to be processed to enable quick diagnosis which is favorable. For instance, advanced DR systems include Carestream's DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System and AeroDR detectors by Konica Minolta. Thus, the market growth of X-ray detectors is expected to expand because of such technological innovations in the near future.
