Portable Ultrasound Revolution Comes as a Shot in the Arm for the Global Medical Ultrasound Equipment Market

Expanding clinical utility, technology advancements, and increasing affordability of handheld, point of care ultrasound systems are poised to drive the global market for Medical Ultrasound Equipment to reach US$8.8 billion by 2024.

Medical ultrasound, also known as sonography or ultrasonography is a diagnostic imaging technique involving the use of high frequency sound waves to view the organs and structures inside the body.  The modality is today considered one of the most widely used medical imaging techniques worldwide for diagnosing and imaging various structural deformities and anatomical abnormalities. Demand for medical ultrasound equipment worldwide is spurred by expanding clinical utility and availability of high quality solutions. Factors, such as aging population, shift from X-ray and CT due to radiation concerns towards ultrasound, and technological advancements are enabling ultrasound equipment maintain a positive growth momentum. Future growth in ultrasound equipment market would also be driven by the strong demand for portable ultrasound devices, and increasing demand from clinical applications that require point-of-care (POC) imaging. Growth is further expected to be spearheaded by 3D /4D ultrasound imaging, which provides benefits, such as sharper images, low cost and minimal radiation as compared to the other imaging modalities.

Ultrasound has emerged as an important tool for treatment planning for trauma patients in emergency situations, and also offers image guidance while performing procedures such as biopsies and regional anesthesia. As ultrasound systems for point of care become affordable, lighter, more accessible, and easier to use, their adoption is expected to increase significantly in future. Technology trends dominating the new product launches include incorporation of artificial intelligence capabilities, introduction of compact handheld ultrasound systems, and improved device ergonomics. The ultrasound market is now abuzz with innovations such as automated ultrasound scanning, tissue harmonic imaging, 3D/4D imaging, color doppler imaging, ultrasound elastography, Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and wireless, cable-free transducers and tablet-based ultrasound systems.

As stated by the new market research report on Medical Ultrasound Equipment, Asia-Pacific represents the largest and fastest growing market worldwide. Growth in the region is led by factors such as increasing focus on preventative care, rise in healthcare spending, improving standard of healthcare facilities, and continual shift towards high-end cart-based and compact ultrasound equipment.

The global market for Material Handling Equipment is projected to reach US$190.3 billion by 2025, driven by the strong emphasis shed on production and operational efficiency and worker safety. The concept of “last mile” is widely popularized in supply chain management and transportation planning for its ability to increase customer satisfaction and profitability. Automation, optimization and delivery route planning are therefore vital strategies adopted by companies to improve their last mile performance. Of equal importance are the “first mile” operations involving indoor material handling on the plant floor. Raw material being the primary and most importance element in manufacturing needs to move through multiple stages of production and final packaging in a smooth and seamless manner to prevent logistical bottlenecks in production. Timely handling of materials is important to ensure that right materials in right quantities are delivered to the right locations at the right ti...
