Since CT equipment characterizes huge investment, long R&D and production cycle, strict technical requirements and high request on the comprehensive capabilities of manufacturers, the market is mainly monopolized by several giants. In 2010, the market share of GE Healthcare, Siemens, Philips, Toshiba and Neusoft totaled over 94%. At present, the new comers such as Neusoft, Mindray and Shenzhen Anke in China also occupy certain market share. It is predicted that China-made CT will enjoy a rising market share in the next five or ten years.
