The global ultrasound equipment market was estimated at US$ 7.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach over US$ 14.3 billion by 2030, poised to grow at a noteworthy CAGR of 7.3% from 2021 to 2030.
Growth Factors
The ultrasound equipment market is driven by the extensive use of this equipment in the diagnosis of various chronic diseases related to various body parts such as heart, joints, abdomen, and blood vessels. It is considered to be the most convenient equipment used for the diagnosis of the internal organs. The rising burden of chronic diseases, growing geriatric population, and increasing government investments to develop healthcare facilities is positively boosting the market growth. The increasing demand for the diagnosis among the population is fostering the demand for the ultrasound equipment. According to the CDC, in 2019, there were 45 million outpatient surgeries, over 900 million physician visits, and 155 million emergency department visits in US. Further, according to the American Heart Association, more than 40% of the US adults are expected to be affected with hypertension by 2030. According to the International Diabetes Federation, by 2025, the number of diabetic population is expected to reach around 228 million in the developing nations. Hence, the rising number of patients is significantly boosting the demand for the ultrasound equipment and is expected to rise further during the forecast period.
Furthermore, the rising number of research and developmental activities have led to the integration of latest technologies like artificial intelligence in the ultrasound equipment that presents a new growth prospect to the market players. The introduction of AI in the ultrasound helps to overcome several limitations associated with the previous equipment such as unclear images and long duration. This technological development is expected to boost the market growth in the upcoming years. Moreover, various developmental strategies adopted by the key market players like new product launches with innovative features is expected to drive the market growth. For instance, Samsung Medison launched RS85 Prestige ultrasound solution with improved and efficient scanning features at the Radiological Society of North America in order to expand their market share in the global market.
