Global Ultrasound Devices Market was valued at USD 6.76 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 6.82% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027 to reach USD 10.05 billion by 2027. The Ultrasound Devices market is witnessing positive growth owing to the rising incidence of severe chronic diseases such as cardiovascular, urology, and others, further rapid technological developmental activities, growing awareness for early detection, increasing geriatric population across the globe who are more susceptible to developing chronic disorders, and rising adoption owing to no radiation exposure, thereby contributing to the growth of the Ultrasound Devices market during the forecast period.
Ultrasound Devices Market Dynamics:
The Ultrasound Devices market is witnessing a growth in product demand owing to various reasons. The major advantage that Ultrasound Devices offer is their ability to screen images depicting the causes of pain, swelling, and infection in the body's internal organs, which helps in the detection of various disorders in the patient.
In addition to chronic diseases, the rising prevalence of cancers is another important factor responsible for the growth of the Global Ultrasound Devices market. Ultrasound Devices have a consistently strong demand these days in the field of medical imaging as an ultrasound helps doctors look for tumors in certain areas of the body that don't show up well on X-rays. It is an effective imaging technique that helps physicians to diagnose various types of tumors.
As per WHO 2020, the leading cause of death worldwide was cancer which accounted for nearly 10 million deaths in 2020. As per the same statistics for the year 2020, the most common causes of cancer death were lung (1.80 million deaths); colon and rectum (935,000 deaths); liver (830,000 deaths); stomach (769,000 deaths); and breast (685,000 deaths).
Moreover, according to Cancer Research UK 2018, the population suffering from cancer is expected to increase in the future. As per their 2018 report, if recent trends in the incidence of major cancers and population growth are consistent, it is predicted that there will be 27.5 million new cancer cases worldwide each year by 2040.
Hence, early detection is essential for a cure because survival is dependent on the treatment pathway for the disease. With proper scan, diagnosis becomes better. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of cancer is projected to result in the growing demand for Ultrasound Devices, thereby contributing to the growth of the Ultrasound Devices market during the forecast period.
Another key factor responsible for the growth of the Ultrasound Devices market is the increasing geriatric population base across the globe. According to the data provided by the World Health Organization, in 2020, about one billion people across the world were over the age of 60. The source further stated that by 2050, the elderly population in the 60 and above age group is expected to double in number representing about 2.1 billion people, and people in the age group of 80 and above are estimated to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million. Age is considered as one of the key risk factors associated with the development of various disorders such as examining internal and bone injuries, diagnosing spinal problems and skeletal injuries, detecting osteoporosis, therefore, the rising elderly population is expected to lead to a rise in the patient population of chronic diseases across the world, which in turn would lead to an increase in demand for Ultrasound Devices in the forecast period, which will drive the Ultrasound Devices market growth.
Additionally, another key factor responsible for the boost in the growth of Ultrasound Devices is innovation in product development which ultimately leads to the growing adoption of minimally invasive procedures worldwide. For instance, on September 30, 2021, Samsung Medison introduced the V8, a new high-end ultrasound system that provides enhanced image quality, usability, and convenience for all medical professionals. Therefore, this may indicate that the key manufacturers are involved actively and may result in the higher demand for Ultrasound Devices, thereby taking the Ultrasound Devices market growth forward during the forecast period.
Real-time processing and no radiation risks help in the significant adoption of these devices by end-users, as compared to other imaging devices like CT or MRI, which eventually creates a positive impact on the Ultrasound Devices market. Along with the factors mentioned above, multiple new and exciting technologies are emerging with these devices that promise rapid, safe, and effective diagnostics. The development of new techniques such as 3D or 4D imaging enhances the output and diagnostic accuracy are also expected to aid in the growth of the Ultrasound Devices market.
However, stringent regulatory approval and recent product recalls may be certain limiting factors of the Ultrasound Devices market growth.
Also, the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak had slowed down the overall Ultrasound Devices market. This is due to the temporary halt in a reduction in the screening process of various disorders due to the imposing of lockdown restrictions across the globe. However, vaccine development of COVID-19 has initiated the process of economic recovery with the easing of lockdown restrictions and the return of normalcy in the economic landscape which has initiated the process of resumption of regular healthcare services such as outpatients visits and resumption of healthcare services, thereby bringing the demand for products on track in the Ultrasound Devices market.
