Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market Analysis And Forecast To 2031: By Application (Electrophysiology Procedures, Left Atrial Appendage Closure, Septal Defects), By End-use (Hospitals, Catheterization Laboratories), And Region
The global intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) market was valued at USD 804.2 Million in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 1,275.4 Million by 2031, at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is considered as advanced imaging system, enabling physicians in high-resolution conception of cardiac tissues, real-time monitoring of catheter positioning and early identification of procedural difficulties. Whereas intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) makes use of transducer/probe to create sound waves and yield pictures of the internal structure of blood vessels.
Market Trends and Drivers
Technological advancements are anticipated to strengthen the industry growth potential. The market growth is highly attributable to novel product launches. For instance, several industry players are currently focusing on the development of devices that can support both ICE and IVUS used in peripheral artery and coronary artery interventions for the visualization of stent positioning. Further, these advancements have transformed ICE imaging capabilities from 2D echo to 3D and further to 4D echo. As processing speed and computing power increases, ICE systems can process large volume of data to reconstruct the images in real time. Thus, with continued product innovations, the intracardiac echocardiography and intravascular ultrasound market will foresee tremendous growth opportunities.
Market Restraints and Challenges
The key restraints in the Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) market are the lack of skilled operators and the high cost of the devices. The lack of skilled operators is a result of the lack of training opportunities and the lack of awareness of the benefits of ICE and IVUS. The high cost of the devices is a result of the high cost of the technology and the lack of insurance reimbursement.

The report analyses the global intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) market based on application, end-user, and region
Global Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market by Application
Based on application segment, the intracardiac echocardiography and intravascular ultrasound market is segmented into electrophysiology procedures, left atrial appendage closure, septal defects and others. The septal defects segment accounted for significant market share in 2021. Product innovations and proven efficacy of novel devices is influencing the adoption of ICE technology as alternative to conventional technology i.e., transoesophageal echocardiography used to treat septal defect disorders. Moreover, ventricular septal defects and atrial septal defects are congenital disorders that might cause problems in the future. With advanced echocardiography using the ICE systems, treatment and visibility of septal structure can be improved. Thus, with continuous developments providing the ease in procedure, the segment will hold significant market share in coming years.
Global Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market by End-user
The intracardiac echocardiography and intravascular ultrasound market based on end-use is segregated into hospitals, catherization laboratories, and others. The catherization laboratories segment held lucrative revenue share in 2021. Improving healthcare infrastructure and spending on expansion of cardiac catheterization laboratories in developing countries is estimated to stimulate the segmental growth rate. Additionally, penetration of market players with advanced ICE and IVUS devices in developed countries along with spending on cutting-edge technologies will augment the product adoption rate in facilities.
Geographical Analysis of Global Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market
Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2021, North America held more than significant market share. Rapid adoption of efficient imaging modalities in catheterization laboratories and faster expansion of specialty cardiac centers are expected to impel the regional market outlook. Moreover, increasing prevalence of cardiac rhythm disorders with preference for minimally invasive procedures is projected to enhance the regional industry statistics. As per the data published by the American College of Cardiology in 2021, each year peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects more than 8.5 million individuals in America. Hence, larger patient population benefits the adoption of ICE and IVUS in North America region during the forecast period.
