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.
Major players in the market include B-K Medical,
Esaote SPA, GE Healthcare, Hitachi Healthcare, Mindray Medical International
