Latin American Imaging Market: Opportunities in the Low-Medium Range Segment

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Healthcare Group at Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce its Exclusive Healthcare 2006 Quarterly Analyst Briefing Presentation on the Latin American Imaging market to be held on Wednesday, October 18, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. EDT/10:00 a.m. CDT.

As clients in Latin America face tight budgets both in the public and private sector, the industry is seeking to provide medium to low range solutions that fit client needs. Economy recovery combined to an old installed base pushes equipment sales. The competition from used and refurbished market has propelled manufacturers to develop low cost solutions.

Highlights of the briefing include: an analysis of imaging market dynamics in Latin America, market sizing and growth by modality and products trends for the region. This briefing will benefit medical devices manufacturers, distributors, hospitals and imaging clinics by discussing key dynamics as well as growth and technological trends for the Latin American Imaging market.

"To seize the opportunities Latin America presents, medical equipment providers must offer the right solutions to fit client needs, finding a balance between technology and cost for each type of client. Independently of the end user tier being focused, the offer of financing options is undoubtedly a competitive advantage," observes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Virginia Dutra.
