Canon Inc. Realigns Global Medical Business Strategy
December 02 2019 - 9:30AM
Business Wire
Further cements Canon’s efforts to prepare for
future growth of its medical business
As part of Canon Inc.’s global medical business strategic
realignment, the X-ray business operations within Canon U.S.A.
Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary Virtual Imaging, Inc. will transfer
to Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc. (CMSU) effective January 1,
2020.
The global medical imaging market is anticipated to expand
extensively year over year by 2025, fueled by the aging population
coupled with the need for early stage detection of chronic disease.
As the leading medical imaging market globally, the U.S. represents
the largest opportunity for future growth.
Canon U.S.A. Inc., introduced the flat panel detector into the
US market in 1997 and Virtual Imaging, Inc. incorporated these
detectors into their portfolio of X-ray systems. Today’s
announcement of business realignment will build on this strong
legacy. This transfer will help Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc.,
accelerate additional opportunities for growth while continuing to
elevate the customer experience by providing a single entity from
which to access significant technology advancements and purchase
equipment, as well as obtain service and applications support.
As a result, Canon Medical Systems USA, Inc., will add vital
digital radiographic and mobile offerings to its current X-ray
portfolio of multipurpose and fluoroscopic systems, significantly
expanding its product line to be one of the broadest in the
industry.
“This strategic move offers customers Canon Medical Systems USA,
Inc.’s world-class and unified experience for equipment purchases,
service and education solutions,” says Toshio Takiguchi, senior
managing executive officer, Canon Inc., and president and CEO,
Canon Medical Systems Corporation. “At Canon Medical Systems USA,
Inc., our priority is always focused on supporting our customers by
providing them with consistent, industry-leading X-ray systems
sales, service and applications support.”
