Biomedical Instruments for Diagnosis

Domestic manufacturers and suppliers

I   　Trend of Biomedical Instruments Market

• Diagnostic Biomedical Instruments Market Trends
• Market Environment surrounding Diagnostic Biomedical Instruments

- Although the market in FY2019 saw positive growth especially in image diagnostic apparatuses due to last minute surge in demand just before the tax hike, the market condition in FY2020 is stern due to COVID-19 pandemics except for special demand for some items.

- Market size of 38 biomedical instruments in FY2019 rose by 5.0% to reach 341,464 million yen as high-end items such as image diagnostic apparatuses and biological information monitors sold stably just before the tax hike, but is likely to decline in FY2020 by 5.7% to 321,866 million yen, due to COVID-19 pandemics.
