Growing Demand for High-End X-ray TV and Angiography Systems

「As a result of these initiatives, sales of general radiography systems, X-ray TV systems and angiography systems all increased. By region, sales in Japan declined due to the reduction of low-profitability products handled, while overseas sales increased substantially, partly due to the effect of new products.」

「The Medical Systems business performed well, led by X-ray TV systems equipped with new software that improves patient safety, but overall revenue declined due to weak market conditions in Japan, Europe and China. Revenue increased in North America and other Asian regions as the effect of new products took hold.」

「Although Japan, China and Europe were affected by delays in the recovery of market conditions, X-ray TV systems increased in North America, where hospitals' operating environments improved, while X-ray TV systems and angiography systems increased in other parts of Asia, which is experiencing significant growth.」

「The medical systems business was affected by delays in the recovery of market conditions in Japan and China. In North America, however, sales of X-ray TV systems increased as hospital operating conditions improved, while in other parts of Asia, sales of angiography systems increased as technical exchange meetings in the Philippines and elsewhere raised awareness.」

「As its core business in the MedTech sector, the medical equipment business pursued development of new products and recurring offerings, improved manufacturing efficiency and strengthened overseas expansion. However, a substantial decline in domestic revenue due to lower capital investment resulted in an overall revenue decline despite higher overseas revenue.」

「Revenue from the medical equipment business decreased in Japan but increased overseas. In Japan, sales of new angiography system products increased, but performance was affected by restrained investment by medical institutions amid rising prices, a decline in supplementary budgets and a decline following the completion of large projects. Overseas, sales of angiography systems increased.」

「Medical equipment sales declined in Japan but increased overseas. In Japan, results were affected by healthcare institutions curbing investment amid rising prices, a decrease in supplementary budgets, and a reactionary decline following large projects. Overseas, angiography systems increased in the US and India, while sales also increased for a new X-ray TV system produced locally for the Chinese market.」

「Medical equipment sales declined in Japan but increased overseas. In Japan, X-ray TV systems and angiography systems increased, driven mainly by new products, but results were affected by a reactionary decline following the previous year's radiation therapy tracking systems and by healthcare institutions curbing investment. Overseas, angiography systems increased in the US and India, while sales also increased for a new X-ray TV system produced locally for the Chinese market.」

「The medical equipment business posted higher revenue both in Japan and overseas. As capital investment by medical institutions recovered, X-ray equipment contributed, including X-ray TV systems that are the industry's smallest and equipped with a wide range of functions, new angiography systems incorporating the world's first AI-based image-processing technology, and general radiography systems with power-assist functions.」

「In the medical equipment business, X-ray equipment such as X-ray TV systems and motion-tracking systems for radiation therapy equipment increased as medical institutions recovered their capital investment.」

「The medical equipment business increased sales of X-ray TV systems, angiography systems and motion-tracking systems for radiation therapy equipment as capital investment by medical institutions recovered.」

「The medical equipment business posted higher revenue both in Japan and overseas as capital investment by medical institutions recovered. Despite supply constraints caused by shortages of components and materials and the impact of China's lockdowns, X-ray TV systems and angiography systems increased.」

「In Japan, market conditions recovered as medical institutions increased capital expenditure using supplementary budgets, resulting in growth in X-ray TV systems. Overseas, X-ray TV systems expanded in North America, a key focus market, but mobile X-ray systems used to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia, which had increased in the previous year, declined in most regions.」

「Demand for mobile X-ray imaging systems used to diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia, which increased overseas in the previous year, declined in most regions. In Japan, X-ray TV systems and X-ray imaging systems increased as capital investment using supplementary budgets progressed, while the aftermarket business also remained strong.」

「Capital investment by medical institutions is recovering, and demand is gradually returning, particularly in Japan. Demand for mobile X-ray systems used to diagnose pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus declined except in some regions, while general radiography systems and X-ray TV systems increased.」

「As the number of new infections declined, demand for mobile X-ray imaging equipment used to diagnose novel coronavirus pneumonia decreased year on year. Meanwhile, the number of diagnoses and treatments at medical institutions returned to pre-pandemic levels, and X-ray TV systems and other products increased as capital investment that had been frozen the previous year resumed.」

「Although sales of mobile X-ray systems increased for use in diagnosing pneumonia caused by COVID-19, other models performed poorly, as medical institutions focused on COVID-19 measures and postponed or froze capital investment due to deteriorating profitability.」

「Mobile X-ray imaging systems increased, mainly overseas, for diagnosing pneumonia caused by COVID-19. Other models, however, performed poorly as capital investment was postponed or frozen because medical institutions prioritized measures against COVID-19 and their profitability deteriorated.」

「Mobile X-ray imaging systems expanded mainly overseas for use in diagnosing COVID-19 pneumonia, but other models remained weak as medical institutions focused on countermeasures against COVID-19 and their earnings deteriorated due to the spread of the virus.」

「In North America, angiography systems performed well, but X-ray imaging systems declined as the impact of demand running its course following digitalization-promotion initiatives continued. However, performance is recovering recently, partly due to the effects of new products such as new X-ray television systems.」

「In Japan, X-ray TV systems, angiography systems, and X-ray imaging systems for clinics continued to perform well. In North America, however, X-ray imaging systems declined as the impact of demand peaking after digitalization-promoting initiatives continued. In Europe, multipurpose X-ray TV systems and angiography systems declined. In China, X-ray imaging systems declined amid intensified competition from locally manufactured products, in addition to project delays. In other parts of Asia, generic X-ray TV systems and angiography systems grew in India, but X-ray imaging systems declined in Southeast Asia, partly due to the reaction to large projects in the previous year.」

「In Japan, X-ray TV systems, angiography systems and X-ray imaging systems for clinics performed well, supported in part by increased demand ahead of the consumption-tax increase.」

「In Japan, sales increased as angiography systems and X-ray radiography systems performed well. In North America and Europe, however, conditions remained difficult as demand for mobile units declined and multipurpose X-ray TV systems remained sluggish. In China, overall sales declined because sales of X-ray radiography systems fell amid intensifying competition with domestically manufactured products, compounded by project delays. In Southeast Asia, X-ray TV systems declined sharply, partly because of a reaction to the large projects recorded the previous year.」

「In Europe, a new mobile unit with excellent operability was well received, and X-ray imaging systems performed well. X-ray television systems and angiography systems also performed well. In Southeast Asia, angiography systems performed well, supported in part by large projects. In Japan, new angiography systems offering lower radiation exposure, high image quality, improved operability and greater examination efficiency remained firm, while X-ray imaging systems for clinics also performed well.」

「In North America, multipurpose X-ray television systems performed well. In Europe, a new highly user-friendly mobile system was well received, and X-ray imaging systems performed well.」

「In North America, mobile systems remained solid due to the effect of new products, while multi-purpose X-ray television systems grew, resulting in strong performance. In Europe, mobile systems performed well due to the effect of new products, while X-ray television systems recovered and angiography systems increased.」

「In China, X-ray imaging systems performed solidly, supported by recovering demand and an enhanced product lineup addressing customer needs.」

「In China, sales of multipurpose X-ray TV systems increased, but sales of X-ray radiography systems declined due to competition from domestically produced products, limiting the increase in sales to a marginal level.」

「In North America, high-end X-ray TV systems capable of supporting multiple diagnoses performed well.」
