To me, "healthy" means an abundance of arrangers, with following-up sales with educational user clinics, as well as informative promotions.
Generally, the most popular have been Yamaha and Roland (they're pretty "major")...Korg not so much...it has never really caught on...not sure why.
The music dealers in my territory are wise enough to go with proven product, not instruments that are still in the beta stage, or instruments that have poor factory support regarding repairs.
So, yes, we do have a very healthy arranger market.

Actually, that is a very unhealthy arranger market.
When you have a market that only has and knows 1-1/2 manufacturers then they do not know what is out there and may be suffering from arranger deficiencies.
