Echocardiography Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Type (Transesophageal, Echocardiography, Transthoracic Echocardiography, Stress Echocardiography, Intracardiac Echocardiography and Other Types), Device Display (CCD Colour Display and Black & White (B/W) Display), Technology, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Echocardiography Market is accounted for $1.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.5 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. Echocardiography, commonly known as an echo or cardiac ultrasound, creates images of the heart using sound waves in order to look for any cardiovascular illness. With the use of this tool, blood clots may be found and the chambers and valves of the heart can be studied. Transthoracic, transesophageal, and stress cardiac ultrasonography are three different cardiac ultrasound examinations that are utilised for various diagnostic procedures. Due to its non-invasive nature, transthoracic cardiac ultrasonography is the most often utilised diagnostic procedure for identifying heart problems.
According to the British Heart Foundation data published in 2022, around 1.5 billion people in the U.K. have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.
Market DynamicsDriverGrowing demand for minimally invasive cardiac treatments and rising prevalence of heart disease
The rising incidence of heart disease and the rising demand for less invasive cardiac operations. Additionally, the development of integrated systems that combine ICE with other imaging modalities and technological developments in echocardiography systems, such as enhanced picture quality, are anticipated to further propel market expansion. Additionally there is an increasing demand for minimally invasive cardiac operations since they are less painful, require fewer hospital stays, and have quicker recovery times. During these surgeries, echocardiography is frequently utilised as a guide for inserting catheters and other devices into the heart.
RestraintLack of skilled professionals
The use of echocardiography requires specialized training and expertise. The shortage of skilled professionals who can operate these systems may limit its adoption. Moreover there are alternative imaging techniques, such as transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which may compete with echocardiography for market share.
OpportunityPulse doppler advances deliver high resolution heart images
The market for echocardiography is seeing an increase in interest in the idea of portable ultrasound. Nuclear cardiology for diagnostic purposes faces a significant competitive challenge from echocardiography. However, improvements in pulse doppler are making it possible to implant trustworthy probes into the oesophagus to increase the resolution of cardiac imaging. Companies in the echocardiography industry are investing more in research and development (R&D) for acoustic quantification methods that aid in identifying and keeping track of the line where the inner margin of the myocardium and blood pool meets is encouraging the doctors to much prefer echocardiography.
ThreatAssociated Limitations
Portable cardiac ultrasonography equipment has several restrictions. Despite being smaller in size, they have a smaller screen, which may affect the diagnosis. With fewer ultrasonic frequencies, the resolution is poorer, and the image optimisation is subpar. Additionally, they may only use 2D pictures. As a result, the bulk and expensive price of these gadgets may prevent widespread use in the years to come.
Covid-19 ImpactDuring COVID-19, the market experienced a decline in its growth. Fewer patients visiting the clinics and hospitals for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment and the postponement of non-emergency procedures were responsible for the decline. The global market experienced a decline of 8.3% in 2020 as compared to the past year. During this period, non-COVID-19-related diagnostic procedures were considered low-priority, which caused a significant decrease in the testing volume of cardiovascular disorders.
The Intracardiac Echocardiography segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Intracardiac Echocardiography segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the use of a tiny ultrasonic probe that is put within the heart, a medical imaging procedure known as intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) can produce pictures of the heart's chambers, valves, and blood veins. The market is fuelled by reasons such the increased incidence of heart illness, the need for less invasive cardiac operations, and improvements in ICE system technology that increase its accuracy and use.
The 3D & 4D (Three-Dimensional Echocardiography & 4DEchocardiography) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The 3D & 4D (Three-Dimensional Echocardiography & 4DEchocardiography) segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to The characteristics of this technology, including as good picture quality, realistic anatomical images, the capacity to offer volume measurement, and the ability to see septal abnormalities, have contributed to the segment's rise.
Region with largest shareNorth America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to widespread acceptance of new and innovative goods, great knowledge of the range of medical treatments available, and major infrastructure investment supporting medical treatments. Other significant drivers propelling the market in the area include favourable government assistance for healthcare infrastructure and research and development of echocardiography.
Region with highest CAGRAsia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the vast population suffering from cardiovascular illnesses in India and China, combined with the presence of unexplored potential and increased awareness of medical conditions in Asia Pacific, all contribute to the market's growth. Due to lifestyle factors including smoking, excessive weight, and elevated blood sugar levels, the risk of cardiovascular disease is higher in South Asia, India, China, and Australia.
