- Portable ultrasound systems, offering compact and mobile diagnostic imaging solutions, are becoming increasingly vital components of point-of-care diagnostics in both hospital and non-hospital settings due to their real-time imaging capability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use across diverse medical applications such as emergency care, obstetrics, cardiology, and musculoskeletal assessments
- The escalating demand for portable ultrasound systems is primarily fueled by the growing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases, a rising geriatric population, and increased need for rapid and accessible diagnostic tools in remote and underserved regions
- North America dominates the portable ultrasound system market with the largest revenue share of 38.2% in 2024, characterized by advanced healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and strong adoption of point-of-care imaging technologies, with the U.S. seeing substantial growth driven by demand in emergency departments, home care, and outpatient settings
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the portable ultrasound system market during the forecast period due to increasing investments in healthcare infrastructure, rapid urbanization, and growing awareness of early diagnosis benefits in rural and semi-urban populations
- Trolley/ cart-based ultrasound systems segment dominates the portable ultrasound system market with a market share of 66.4% in 2024, driven by its superior imaging capabilities, larger screen size, and versatility for use in various clinical settings such as hospitals and diagnostic centers
