Global Ultrasound Devices Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The value of the global ultrasound devices market is projected to grow to USD 9.99 billion by 2029 and USD 7.57 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. A significant rise in demand for minimally encroaching diagnostic and therapeutic devices is primarily driving the market's growth. Additionally, the increasing adoption of ultrasound techniques for various treatment procedures fuels the market growth.

Ultrasound devices are protruding diagnostic imaging devices capable of getting images of the body's internal organs. Healthcare professionals will use these ultrasound devices to conduct and examine the tests in diagnosis and therapeutic procedures. The critical nature of ultrasound devices has enlarged its scope to gynecological, cardiac, urological, cerebrovascular, abdominal, and breast examinations. In addition, smaller versions of these devices have led to their application in point-of-care settings. A significant rise in medical tourism will likely provide opportunities for the ultrasound devices market to expand.

The screening ultrasound is considered a standard for fetal screening globally. Thus, the rising birth rates and in-vitro fertilization treatment rates add to the demand for sonography devices. In addition, several organizations, such as the American Cancer Society, recommend periodic mammographic screening for women above 40 years to detect breast cancer. As a result, several new cases diagnosed with breast cancer are rising rapidly. Therefore, the usage of 3D ultrasound and 4D ultrasound is increasing in breast cancer screening. In addition, it provides better visualization of the coronal plane in breasts with dense tissues, as recommended by the government and health agencies.

Global Ultrasound Devices Market Drivers:

The rising demand for ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures and increasing investments in R&D are propelling the global ultrasound devices market. Technological developments, medical reimbursements, awareness for early disease detection, and healthcare expenditure are estimated to propel market growth further. In addition, Y-O-Y growth in the birth rate worldwide is estimated to accelerate the need for more ultrasound devices during the forecast period. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the total number of births in the United States was 3,978,497 in 2016. Moreover, the birth rate in the U.S. was 12.4 births per 1,000 population.

The accentuating number of pregnancies and an increasing number of childbirths every year are factors responsible for the ultrasound devices market growth. Additionally, the growing requirement for minimally invasive is another significant factor boosting the market growth. The minimally invasive procedures cause low pain and involve less stay in the hospital, and the significance of these methods is snowballing.

The escalating number of healthcare providers, rising funds and investments for R&D in ultrasound imaging, and the increasing number of chronic diseases are expected to expand the market growth soon. The advanced and inventive technologies resulted in the state-of-the-art medical devices industry. Medical device manufacturers are focusing on emerging high-quality images, which is expected to drive market growth. In addition, the flourishing number of hospitals ensuring demand for ultrasound imaging infrastructure augments the market development.

Global Ultrasound Devices Market Restraints:

Lack of awareness among the people and scarcity of expert sonography professionals for ultrasound devices hamper the market growth. In addition, the high cost of ultrasound devices and strict government rules and regulations obstruct market growth. Therefore, the latest product recall in the ultrasound devices market posed a significant challenge. For instance, in May 2020, Koninklijke Philips N.V. was given a class II product recall for the S83 compact by the U.S. FDA. The product recall initiation was due to the defective auto cool function of the Transoesophageal transducer that can harm the patient while examining.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global ultrasound devices market:

The sudden eruption of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has touched every corner of the world. Older adults and those with diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, hypertension, and other chronic diseases are more exposed to mild symptoms of COVID-19. The crisis has had a complicated and remarkable effect on the ultrasound devices market. In November 2020, GE Healthcare enlarged artificial intelligence (AI), digital, and imaging solutions and revealed a slate of new intelligently efficient solutions, including the LOGIQ E10 ultrasound systems. Due to the pandemic crisis, the ultrasound devices market has observed a negative impact. The demand for the usage of these devices is increasing enormously. Technology has become a frontline diagnostic tool for COVID-19 patients. The imposed guidelines concentrated on helping hospital administrators recognize the potential risks of exhibiting to patients and controlling the ultrasound processes and clinic visits during the pandemic crisis.

The global market for ultrasound devices market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on technology, device display, portability, application and region. 

Global Ultrasound Devices Market – By Technology:

  • Diagnostic Ultrasound
    • 2D Ultrasound
    • 3D & 4D Ultrasound
    • Doppler Ultrasound
  • Therapeutic Ultrasound
    • High-intensity Focused Ultrasound
    • Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy

Based on the technology, the diagnostic ultrasound segment is projected to occupy the largest share of the global ultrasound devices market during the forecast period. Of this segment, the 2D ultrasound sub-segment is widely used for women's health attainability of medical reimbursements for diagnostic ultrasound procedures, continuously advanced technologies in ultrasound imaging, and increasing applications for existing ultrasound techniques propelling the technology segment of the ultrasound devices market growth. As a result, the Doppler ultrasound segment is anticipated to show prominent growth during the forecast period. Doppler ultrasound provides great help in determining and diagnosing a blocked blood vessel and certain heart conditions. In addition, it uses sound waves to show blood moving through blood vessels, unlike a regular ultrasound, which does not show blood flow.

On the other hand, the therapeutic ultrasound segment is forecasted to show a promising CAGR over the forecast period. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU has been observed to be the most adopted type due to being a new cosmetic skin-tightening non-invasive replacement for facelifts, which uses ultrasound energy to produce collagen, since these results in firmer skin. Although it is highly used for tumor treatment, it has other cosmetic benefits, such as improvement of cheeks, reduction of wrinkles, improvement of jawline definition, tightening of sagging turkey neck, firming of cleavage, and overall skin smoothing, including eyebrows and eyelids.
