The global ultrasound equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 6.3% from 2019 to 2026 and expected to reach the market value of around US$ 10 Bn by 2026.

Ultrasound is a medical imaging technology that uses sound waves to produce pictures of body’s inside part. It helps to diagnose swelling, pain, and infection in internal organs and to examine a baby in pregnant women. Ultrasound is also assist in performing types of biopsy and for therapeutic purpose. The equipment has a small probe, a transducer and gel placed on the skin. High-frequency sound waves travel through the gel from the probe into the body. The probe collects the sounds that bounce back from the internal organs. A computer system uses these sound waves to create an image. The image produced by the system can be color or black & white based on the technology. Ultrasound does not use radiations as used in x-rays and hence the procedure is safe and painless.

Market Dynamics

Large number of technological advancements including 3D & 4D imaging in ultrasound equipment, entry of various regional market players that offers cost effective compact devices, increase in prevalence of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, rise in awareness about early diagnosis, and demand for minimal invasive therapies are some of the key driving factors of the ultrasound equipment market.

Introduction of various innovative products by the multinational as well as regional players is anticipated to boost the market in coming years. Various regional players are present in the market, still GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, and Toshiba Medical captured about 55% of the overall ultrasound equipment market.
