Suni Medical Imaging is expanding its sales operations into China and is now seeking distributors there.
SuniRay, Suni's flagship digital sensor product, has received official clearance to be marketed throughout China, where digital growth is expected to continue at a rate of 12% to 15% per year, according to the company.
China ranks as the 11th largest market for medical devices and equipment with more than $16 billion in sales at the end of 2011, Suni noted. In addition, there is one dentist to every 26,000 patients in China, and the dental products market is estimated to top $1.2 billion in 2012 -- $321 million in equipment and $962 million in consumables according to Arya Azimi, marketing manager at Suni.
