Ultrasound Probe Market Analysis and Size

As more people develop pulmonary artery-related illnesses, there is also expected to be an increase in the demand for ultrasound devices for lung imaging. As soaking a probe in a solution for disinfecting purposes contaminates the solution, it may harm the patient's health. The most recent technique for cleaning ultrasound probes is high-level disinfection (HLD). The ultrasound probe can be cleaned quickly, affordably, and safely while protecting patients and hospital staff as high-frequency sound waves from ultrasound probes travel through biological tissues and produce echoes. Transducers, also called probes, come in various sizes and shapes and are used to take pictures of different body parts. The transducer can be passed over the body's surface or inserted into an opening, such as the rectum or vagina.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the ultrasound probe market, valued at USD 383.61 million in 2022, will reach USD 514.98 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.75% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030.  In addition to the insights on market scenarios such as market value, growth rate, segmentation, geographical coverage, and major players, the market reports curated by the Data Bridge Market Research also include depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Ultrasound Probe Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

The ultrasound probe, also known as the transducer, is the part of the ultrasound system attached externally to contact the patient’s body per the diagnostic requirement. Unlike other imaging techniques, ultrasound doesn’t use radiation. It is responsible for transmitting and receiving the high-frequency sound waves used to produce images of internal organs, tissues, and blood flow

Ultrasound Probe Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase in the use of ultrasound technology

The rise in chronic diseases and cases of pulmonary artery-related disorders has led to increased demand for technologies, which is also expected to drive the ultrasound probe market over the forecast period. Doctors and other medical professionals can treat even the most severe illnesses using cutting-edge technology. One of the most significant developments in medical science is ultrasound. The increase in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), the use of diagnostic imaging, technological advancements, and the expansion of ultrasound imaging techniques. Several factors contribute to the growth, including the rise in hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), the use of diagnostic imaging, technological developments, and the expansion of ultrasound imaging techniques. Significant technological advancements have occurred in the market, which has created an increase.

• Increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure

In addition to positive market factors, government organizations want to strengthen the healthcare system by increasing funding, which benefits the ultrasound probe market. Additionally, through increased investments, the ultrasound probe market is anticipated to grow as a result of the rising number of product launches. Thus several significant players are focusing on developing potent, transportable, and single-use ultrasound transducers, which will further propel the market growth.

Opportunities

• Abnormalities in fetuses have provided chances to grow

Demand for ultrasonic diagnosis is anticipated to rise due to an increase in the frequency of abnormalities in fetuses brought on by pregnancy at a late age. The lack of harmful radiation, ultrasound devices are widely used for obstetric imaging. Chromosomal abnormalities affect about one in every 150 newborn babies, according to the March of Dimes Foundation. Therefore, early pregnancy treatment of chromosomal abnormalities requires fetus diagnostics. Demand for ultrasound imaging and, consequently, the use of ultrasound probes rises as the rate of indication of abnormalities also does.

• Expanding through the rising demand for minimally invasive treatments

The rising demand for minimally invasive therapies has created expansion. The gold standard for minimally invasive spinal surgery is expected to shift from X-ray fluoroscopy to ultrasound imaging, according to a study published in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging in 2021. Researchers are working to develop ultrasonic imaging for navigation, utilizing its distinct advantages of being user-friendly and radiation-free. Using ultrasounds in these minimally invasive surgical procedures in place of dangerous X-ray fluoroscopy will therefore result in a greater uptake, fueling market expansion.

Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of expertise restricts growth

When using an ultrasound transducer, a skilled sonographer is necessary to get an accurate, artifact-free recording with good clinical quality and diagnostic value. A trained sonographer must use an ultrasound transducer to take real-time pictures of the internal organs' movement and structure and blood flow through their blood vessels. However, an image is produced by the ultrasound transducer's high-frequency sound waves as they pass from the probe through the gel and into the body. Therefore, trained and experienced sonographers must operate imaging technology and soundwaves.
