The third quarter of 2024,IGT Merges with GE Healthcare Ultrasound Business.GE Healthcare Merges $1.6 Billion Image-Guided Therapy (IGT) Business with Ultrasound Unit to Form Global Business with Over $5 Billion in Annual Revenue
According to GE Healthcare's financial report for the first half of the 2024 fiscal year, GE Healthcare's revenue was $9.849 billion, basically flat compared to the same period last year. However, revenue in China was only $1.180 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 15%.
Ultrasound business is GE Healthcare's second largest business, accounting for 17%, but in the second quarter of 2024, GE Healthcare's ultrasound business saw an organic growth of -1%. GE Healthcare attributed the cause to the impact of sluggish orders in the Chinese market.
Currently, China is carrying out large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-in programs, rapidly unleashing the demand for equipment renewal in medical institutions. In this context, could the key personnel appointments at GE Healthcare be aimed at driving revenue growth in the China region by leveraging this opportunity? Let's wait and see.
