Portable Ultrasound Scanners Market By Type (Mobile Ultrasound scanner, Handheld Ultrasound scanner), By Application (Radiology and General Imaging, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cardiology, Urology, Vascular, Others ), By End User (Hospitals and Clinics, Diagnostic labs, Maternity Centers, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032
The portable ultrasound scanners market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2022 and is estimated to reach $4.1 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2032. Ultrasound is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that utilizes high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of internal structures within the body. It is commonly used in the field of medicine for diagnostic purposes, providing valuable insights into organs, tissues, and blood flow without the need for surgical intervention. Portable ultrasound scanners offer the convenience of mobility and accessibility. These portable scanners are designed to be easily carried from one location to another, contrary to traditional bulky ultrasound machines found in hospitals and imaging centers, which makes them ideal for use in various medical settings, including emergency rooms, ambulances, clinics, and even remote or resource-limited areas.
The portable ultrasound scanners market is driven by rise in prevalence of cardiovascular disease, technological advancement in portable ultrasound scanners, high adoption of diagnostic ultrasound devices in obstetrics and gynecology field and rise in adoption of intraoperative ultrasound. The rise in prevalence of cancer has emerged as a significant driver for the portable ultrasound scanners market. According to WHO, in 2020, it was estimated that globally 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and about 685,000 deaths occurred due to breast cancer. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving survival rates and treatment outcomes, and ultrasound imaging has proven to be a valuable tool in early diagnosis of breast cancer. According to a study conducted by the National Library of Medicine, in 2022, breast cancer screening was conducted using portable ultrasound scanner by Clarius, a medical technology company.
The experimental results in this study show that the accuracy of breast tumor segmentation reaches 98%, the accuracy of benign (non-cancerous growths) and malignant (cancerous growths) classification reaches 82%, and the system is accurate and reliable. Thus, the accuracy of the portable ultrasound scanner in breast cancer detection is expected to drive the growth of the market.
Furthermore, the technological advancement in the portable ultrasound scanner is expected to drive the growth of the market. One of the most significant advancements is the miniaturization of ultrasound technology. Traditional ultrasound machines were large and stationary, limiting their use to specific settings. However, advancements in electronics and transducer design have allowed manufacturers to create compact and lightweight portable ultrasound devices. The portable scanners are anticipated to be easily carried by healthcare providers to bedside, clinics, remote locations, and even disaster-stricken areas, facilitating point-of-care imaging of the patient. For instance, Mindray Medical International Limited, a medical devices company offers M9 handheld ultrasound scanner which is used for cardiac diagnosis.
In addition, portable ultrasound scanners have integrated wireless connectivity options, such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This enables seamless data transfer to electronic health record (EHR) systems, cloud storage, or other devices such as smartphones and tablets. Real-time sharing of ultrasound images and reports with specialists or colleagues for consultation has become possible, fostering collaboration, and improving patient care. For instance, Butterfly iQ+, is a handheld, point-of-care ultrasound device developed by Butterfly Network, Inc., a portable ultrasound scanner manufacturer. Butterfly iQ+ connects wirelessly to a mobile app on a compatible smartphone or tablet. The app acts as the interface for the device, displaying real-time ultrasound images and allowing healthcare professionals to control settings of the device.
Thus, the miniaturization and wireless technology of portable ultrasound scanners facilitates the working of healthcare professionals in limited areas, which drives the demand for portable ultrasound scanners. Moreover, the high adoption of portable ultrasound scanners in the obstetrics and gynecology field has emerged as a major driving force behind the rapid growth of the portable ultrasound scanner market. Obstetricians and gynecologists widely utilize ultrasound technology due to its non-invasive nature and its ability to provide real-time imaging of the reproductive system, including fetal development during pregnancy. For instance, Z60, by Mindray Medical International Limited, a medical technology company, is used for fetal monitoring. Thus, the rise in adoption of portable ultrasound scanners in obstetrics and gynecology for diagnosis purposes is expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
In addition, the rise in the use of intraoperative ultrasound devices is expected to boost market growth. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is a valuable tool which provides real-time diagnostic information in surgery, which has the potential to alter patient management and decrease complications. However, limited battery life of portable ultrasound scanners might function as a restraint for the growth of the market. On the other hand, the emerging healthcare market in developing countries and low-income countries lacking access to basic healthcare is expected to present lucrative growth opportunity for portable ultrasound scanners market.
