6.Summary
In the domestic market from April through March in 2009, the recovery trend was shown from the bear market of the second half of 2008. There are some reasons for the recovery trend. Especially, the recovery in the second half of 2009 seems to have been mainly caused by supplementary budget. The increase of demand of cancer-related devices, devices for health check (diagnostic equipment, Mammography and FPD) and the rebound in demand of the large diagnostic equipemnt including the increase of MRI to 48.0 billion Yen (+ 14 %) revitalized the market. The total was an increase to 333.6 billion Yen (+ 6 %).
