Azure Insights Inc. is carrying forward the work started by its predecessor, the International Imaging Industry Association, or I3A. The former I3A’s Health Imaging Interest Group was the community for members that manufacture or have an interest in traditional radiography, computed radiography and digital radiography products and services.
Azure Insights continues the program started by I3A in 1989 to collect and then deliver actual market data on product unit shipments on a quarterly basis. Azure Insights is now delivering a wealth of trend, market size and market share data for our clients every quarter.
The unique market reports provide detailed information on a set of product categories across global regions for both health and industrial applications that are of interest to our clients. Our clients meet annually to discuss the report data, specialized insight regarding what data will specifically be covered in the reports, and how the geographic regions will be determined, ensuring that the value of the report is maximized for all concerned.
