Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Ultrasound Imaging Devices Market Definition

Ultrasound imaging devices are devices that use high-frequency sound waves to produce images inside of the body. The ultrasound system uses ultrasonic imaging technology. Ultrasound equipment can generate real-time images of biological components that demonstrate how the body moves. A transducer and an ultrasonic detector, or probe, make up an ultrasound system. This minimally invasive diagnostic technology does not use ionizing radiation to diagnose or treat body illnesses.

Ultrasound Imaging Devices Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising prevalence of diseases

The increasing frequency of acute and chronic diseases and disorders around the world as a result of a variety of reasons is one of the key factors driving the market's rise. For example, the increasing prevalence of cancer tumours, gallstones, fatty liver disease, and other disorders has a direct and positive impact on market growth. In 2015, USD 415 million individuals worldwide have diabetes; by 2040, that number will rise to 642 million.

• Research and development proficiencies

Rising research and development expenditures, particularly in developed and developing nations, in the field of medical equipment and devices, will provide even more profitable market growth prospects. The market growth rate is further bolstered by research and development capabilities relevant to developments in medical imaging technologies.

• Growing investment for healthcare facilities

Another major element driving market expansion is a renewed focus on improving the state of healthcare facilities and the overall healthcare infrastructure. The growing number of public-private partnerships and strategic cooperation on funding and deployment of new and enhanced technologies is providing even more profitable market prospects. Furthermore, increased government measures to raise awareness about the necessity of early diagnosis are boosting the market's growth rate once again.

• Demand for ultrasound imaging devices

With rising demand for minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic uses of ultrasound imaging devices, as well as the launch of more technologically advanced ultrasound equipment, ultrasound imaging device demand has increased compared to the previous year. Furthermore, government measures to raise awareness about the need of early diagnosis have increased demand for ultrasonic imaging instruments.

Opportunities

Chronic disease incidence is predicted to rise, resulting in an increase in the number of patients who will require enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic options. Emerging markets would be the most affected, as population growth in developing countries, particularly India and China, is expected to be large, increasing healthcare expenditure in these countries. Advances in disease identification and diagnosis will also help keep the expense of treating chronic illnesses in check. According to the World Health Organization, chronic illness prevalence is anticipated globally to increase by 57% by 2020, with obesity rates and incidences of diseases such as diabetes on the rise, driving need for ultrasound devices to identify patients. The use of ultrasound technologies to diagnose patients earlier helps to reduce total healthcare costs. The use of ultrasound devices is predicted to increase as the number of patients with chronic conditions rises, fueling the market's expansion.

Restraints/Challenges

On the other hand, market expansion is likely to be hampered by high costs associated with research and development capabilities, inadequate infrastructure facilities, uneven distribution of medical services, and a lack of awareness in backward nations. In addition, in the forecast period of 2024-2031, the market is expected to be challenged by a lack of favourable reimbursement scenario and technology penetration in developing economies, a decline in healthcare expenses in advanced countries, rising patent expiry, government pricing pressure, high cost of ultrasound devices, and a lack of suitable infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries.

The expansion of the Ultrasound system devices and equipment market is being hampered by stringent clearances and regulations by government entities such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Aside from the standard registration process, manufacturers must comply with a number of rules, including device quality control, labelling, premarket approval, device investigation, and reporting.

COVID-19 Impact on Ultrasound Imaging Devices Market

The market response to COVID-19 has been minimal. The decrease in the rate of medical device manufacture has had a negative impact on revenue. The demand for ultrasound equipment fell as the use of imaging systems fell due to a decline in the requirement for emergency treatment. On the other hand, the post-pandemic period is projected to put the market back on track. COVID-19 is a fluid disease that can damage a variety of tissues and organs as it develops. As a result, the impact of the disease at all stages and organs necessitates a functional and versatile imaging technology capable of dynamically detecting particularities or abnormalities. Ultrasonography meets all of these criteria and has various advantages over other imaging modalities, such as portability, affordability, and biosafety. Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, ultrasonography performed a critical role in triage, monitoring, detecting organ damage, and allowing patients to make tailored therapy decisions. This review focuses on the primary pathogenic outcomes associated with COVID-19-induced ultrasonography alterations in the lungs, heart, and liver.
