Flat Panel C-Arm Market Overview

Flat Panel C-Arm market size is forecast to reach $3.9 billion by 2031, after growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during 2025-2031. Flat panel c-arm is a type of c-arm system used in medical imaging. It is an advanced version of the conventional c-arm based on an image intensifier, but instead of the image intensifier, it uses a flat panel detector (FD). The Flat Panel C-Arm market growth is driven by the increasing adoption of minimally invasive procedures, which is driving the demand for advanced imaging solutions. Additionally, the market is experiencing growth due to factors such as rise in image-guided intervention technologies in healthcare, technological advancements in flat panel detectors and the superior features of Flat Panel C-arms, such as reduced radiation exposure, exceptional image quality and high magnification. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is also necessitating the surgical interventions, which has further accelerated the growth of the market.  

The miniaturization of mobile C-arm technology, driven by the demand for compact, lightweight systems, is a major trend driving the growth of the Flat Panel C-arm market. These portable systems enhance procedural flexibility, enabling minimally invasive surgeries and interventional procedures in diverse settings. In February 2024, Royal Philips launched the Philips Image Guided Therapy Mobile C-arm System 9000 – Zenition 90 Motorized. The advanced C-arm is tailored for complex vascular procedures and diverse clinical applications, including cardiac interventions, pain management, and urology. It features motorized, table-side controls for enhanced surgeon flexibility and independence, along with state-of-the-art imaging quality to support challenging procedures efficiently. Additionally, the flat panel C-arm market is witnessing a growing trend towards systems that offer high-definition 3D imaging with large fields of view, seamlessly integrated into existing surgical workflows for improved precision and efficiency.

The “Flat Panel C-Arm Market Report - Forecast (2025-2031)” by IndustryARC, covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments in the Flat Panel C-Arm Market.

Key Takeaways

Mobile C-Arms the Largest Segment

Mobile C-Arms are largest segment in the Flat Panel C-Arm in terms of type due to their versatility across diverse clinical settings. Mobile C-Arms are a kind of angiography x-ray system that can be used for a variety of diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive surgeries.  One of the greatest advantages of a mobile C-arm is its ability to move around the patient which is lacking in conventional imaging equipment. Additionally, in order to lower the risk of complications and enhance patient outcomes, real-time imaging capabilities are critical for many medical operations. In this regard, portable X-ray C-arms are beneficial because they enable healthcare professionals to identify and treat diseases more rapidly and effectively. Technological advancements in mobile c-arms are driving the growth of the segment globally. In September 2024, Tahoe Forest Health System in Truckee, California, became the first U.S. healthcare facility to install the Ciartic Move, a fully motorized mobile C-arm from Siemens Healthineers with self-driving capabilities. The system accelerates and standardizes 2D fluoroscopic and 3D cone-beam CT imaging, supporting procedures in orthopedic, trauma, spine, thoracic, vascular, cardiovascular, urology, and interventional pulmonology. The manufacturers also stated that users can experience time savings of almost 50% during spine surgery and 55% during pelvic surgery compared with traditional mobile C-arms. Such advancements are driving the growth of mobile c-arms segment in the Flat Panel C-Arm market globally. 

Full Size C-Arm is the Largest Segment  

Full size c-arm is the largest segment in the Flat Panel C-Arm market in terms of size. Full-size C-arms offer the highest level of image quality and functionality, making them suitable for a wide range of complex surgical procedures. These C-Arm machines are usually used for swallow tests, spine and torso studies, cardiology, pain management and surgery. The open space in the regular full-size C-arm is 26 inches, making it large enough to fit a table and patient between the image intensifier and the tube. Full-size C-arms are equipped with advanced features such as high-resolution detectors, 3D imaging capabilities, and advanced image processing algorithms, which allow surgeons better visualization and image quality, improving surgical accuracy and patient outcomes. Additionally, Integration with advanced imaging systems is driving the growth of the market. In March 2024, Body Vision Medical announced the successful validation of its LungVision system with FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation's Persona C-arm line and FDR Cross fluoroscopy C-arm and portable digital radiography solution. The AI-powered LungVision system converts X-ray images from any C-arm into real-time intraoperative CT scans, enabling bronchoscopists to biopsy smaller and harder-to-reach lung lesions at earlier stages. Thus, the validation of LungVision with Fujifilm's C-arm systems signifies a growing trend towards integrating AI and advanced imaging technologies which is propelling the market growth. 

North America Dominates the Market

The North America region dominates the Flat Panel C-Arm market with a share of 40% in 2024. The market in this region is driven by the factors such as rise in adoption of advanced imaging solutions and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Many chronic diseases require surgical interventions, either for diagnosis or treatment. Flat Panel C-arms are essential tools for guiding minimally invasive procedures, reducing the need for large incisions and associated risks. For instance, according to data from American Heart Association, approximately every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a heart attack. Each year in the U.S., there are about 605,000 new heart attacks and 200,000 recurrent attacks. Of these, it is estimated that 170,000 are silent, without significant symptoms. C-arms facilitate minimally invasive cardiac procedures that offer several benefits over open-heart surgery, such as a shorter recovery period, less pain, and a lower risk of problems. Additionally, the continuous advancements in C-arm technology, such as improved image quality and 3D imaging capabilities are driving the growth of the Flat Panel C-Arm market significantly. 

Increasing Adoption of Minimally Invasive Procedures 

The increasing adoption of minimally invasive procedures are driving the growth of the Flat Panel C-Arm market significantly. Minimally invasive procedures rely on real-time imaging guidance provided by C-arms for precision and accuracy. In interventional radiology, FPD C-arms are frequently used to guide surgeons in precise positioning during minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive procedures increased drastically due to the increase in the usage of sophisticated equipment in surgical procedures. It involves less pain and fewer complications compared to general surgery. The hospital stay time is also very less due to the minimal intervention with the body. For instance, in February 2023, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), 2023, 82% of the total number of procedures performed in 2022 were minimally invasive; the remaining 18% were surgical. This data reveals that the number of minimally invasive surgeries has increased in the US. Such factors are driving the growth of the Flat Panel C-Arm market.
