Asia Pacific Ultrasound Devices Market - 2024-2031

asia pacific ultrasound devices market - 2024-2031

Asia Pacific ultrasound devices market reached US$YY million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$YY million by 2031, growing at a CAGR ofYY% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Ultrasound is one of many medical imaging modalities available on the market. An ultrasound device employs high-frequency sound waves to see the body's interior organs. An ultrasound system includes a probe that sends high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves into the patient's body. The bodily organs then reflect these sound waves into the probe.

These transmitted waves are subsequently sent to a display system, which creates the picture via echoes. Ultrasound devices are used to see organs such as the liver, kidneys, blood arteries, heart, human fetus, and others.

The market is driven by factors due to technological progress, the emergence of major market participants, an aging population, and an increase in cancer cases. Ultrasound devices offer distinct echo patterns that distinguish fluid-filled cysts from solid tumors, thereby facilitating the visualization of certain soft tissue diseases.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Increasing healthcare expenditure and infrastructure development

The rising healthcare expenditure in many countries across the Asia Pacific region is leading to significant improvements in healthcare infrastructure. Governments and private sectors are investing in modern medical facilities, including advanced imaging technologies like ultrasound devices. The expansion of healthcare facilities is driving the demand for ultrasound devices across hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers.

Numerous healthcare experts and physicians have advised ultrasound examinations for a variety of diagnoses, which is increasing demand for ultrasound equipment. Doctors are requesting ultrasound technologies such as sonography machines to check the baby's development and anomalies. Ultrasound equipment is also used to diagnose urinary bladder, scrotal, prostatic, and kidney illness.

Asia Pacific has become a business-friendly and resilient hub due to relatively less stringent regulations and data requirements. The majority of players are shifting their attention to emerging countries as the U.S. and European economies mature.

The modernization of technology in emerging nations is greatly aided by the growing investments made in these nations by market participants. As an illustration, Conavi Medical Inc. signed finance agreements totaling US$ 20 million in December 2021 to assist the commercialization of its cutting-edge intravascular imaging guidance technology. Therefore, the rising potential of emerging economies supports the inclination toward CVDs diagnosis.

Asia Pacific ultrasound devices market is witnessing an increasing number of merger & acquisition (M&A) activities that are being undertaken by the prominent players. Several Asia Pacific ultrasound devices companies are adopting these strategies to upgrade their portfolio in the region. For instance, in August 2022, United Imaging Healthcare and Sunway Medical Centre announced their partnership. This partnership was aimed to optimize medical imaging products, leveraging AI-enabled reconstruction for diagnosis of cancer.

High cost of the Equipment

The tremendous cost strain on the healthcare industry is forcing the implementation of new healthcare compensation models. Key actors are attempting to shift their attention away from treatment-based compensation and toward value-based reimbursement. Digitalization and artificial intelligence will be critical facilitators for healthcare services.

Segment Analysis

The Asia Pacific ultrasound devices market is segmented based on type, technology, and application.

3D and 4D ultrasound imaging segment is expected to dominate the market growth

3D and 4D ultrasound imaging are anticipated to hold a major position in the market share. This is expected due to the increasing number of products of MRI systems for diagnosis. There are further benefits of using real-time 3D ultrasonography to guide interventional operations. These gadgets allow users to view tissue organs in three dimensions in real-time.

Similar to a three-dimensional ultrasound, a four-dimensional ultrasound produces an image that is updated continuously, resembling a moving image. The market for 3D and 4D ultrasound imaging is anticipated to grow significantly over the forecast period due to significant technological advancements in the development of 3D and 4D ultrasound devices, favorable reimbursements, a wide range of applications, and additional benefits of the devices, like high definition (HD) motion and 3D and 4D visualizations.

In addition, major players in the industry launch new innovative products helping to propel the market growth. For instance, in June 2022, Mindray expanded its portfolio with a new innovative, dedicated OB/GYN ultrasound machine, the Imagyn I9.

The Imagyn I9 Ultrasound System is Mindray’s first dedicated OB/GYN product slated to meet the rigorous demands of OB/GYN practices. The new system has unique design elements that focus on usability and ergonomics within the OB/GYN space, including elevated transducer ports, a fully free-floating user interface, and customizable E-Ink keys.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 has affected the market growth negatively. 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. Ultrasound devices meets all of these criteria and has various advantages over other imaging modalities, such as portability, affordability, and biosafety.

Throughout the COVID-19 epidemic, ultrasound devices 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 ultrasound devices alterations in the lungs, heart, and liver.
