Several technological advancements, such as increasing portability, enhancing image quality, improving battery technology, and improving overall performance, are synergistically evolving ultrasound technology into a high-performance and affordable imaging tool accessible to a wider user base. Similarly, extensive research and development are underway to incorporate miniaturization, intuitive interfaces, and software-driven platforms in this technology.
In the future, as ultrasound is becoming an integral aspect of healthcare, many private companies and public institutions are investing in research and development of novel technologies in the field of ultrasound imaging. The government is taking initiatives to spread awareness among the masses regarding breast cancer, fetal health, and other health-related issues, thereby creating awareness among the people.
In addition, the rising tide of the so-called grey tsunami with several chronic ailments coupled with the lower cost and relative safety are boosting market growth together. Improving healthcare infrastructure and increasing disposable incomes in developing countries further fuel the market growth.
Ultrasound has several applications in the fields of diagnosis and treatment, and unexplored areas of application are being identified, which has led to its wider adoption across the globe. However, the need for more skilled professionals is causing the under-usage of ultrasound devices. Also, stringent FDA regulations govern the usage of this technology.
Furthermore, in several developing countries, gender determination is illegal, and pre-natal diagnostic ultrasound is misused for child sex determination, which hampers the ultrasound device market growth. Novel fields of application, such as the use of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for treating prostate, breast, and kidney cancers, and ultrasound-medication drug delivery, and untapped markets in developing countries provide several opportunities for growth in the years to come.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the ultrasound devices market. While the demand for diagnostic imaging equipment like ultrasound devices remained strong, the pandemic resulted in a decline in non-urgent procedures and elective surgeries, leading to a temporary slowdown in the market. In addition, supply chain disruptions and restrictions on international trade due to lockdown measures led to delays in the production and distribution of ultrasound devices, causing a shortage of equipment in some regions.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Increasing demand for diagnostic imaging and treatment. This is fueled by a growing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle-related disorders, which require regular imaging and monitoring to manage effectively. Additionally, the rising demand for minimally invasive surgery drives the adoption of ultrasound devices, which can guide procedures and reduce the risk of complications.
Ultrasound devices are technological advancements in ultrasound imaging technology. These advancements have significantly improved image quality, enabling more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning. Furthermore, compared to other imaging technologies such as CT scans and MRIs, the safety and cost-effectiveness of ultrasound make it a valuable tool in medical imaging. For instance, In June 2022, Mindray introduced a new ultrasound machine called Imagine I9, specifically designed to cater to the requirements of busy obstetrics and gynecology practices.
Another important driver of the ultrasound devices market is the increasing adoption of ultrasound devices for point-of-care and emergency settings. Portable and handheld ultrasound devices are becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of use and ability to provide rapid diagnostic information in various stages. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring, leading to an increased demand for portable ultrasound devices that can be used for remote consultations and monitoring.

Diagnostic devices segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022
The diagnostic devices segment is a significant market driver, accounting for the largest revenue share. This segment is driven by the increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders and the demand for advanced diagnostic tools in various medical fields such as obstetrics, cardiology, and oncology. Diagnostic ultrasound devices offer a non-invasive and cost-effective method for diagnosing different medical conditions, making them an essential tool for medical professionals.
In addition, technological advancements such as miniaturized 2D and 3D/4D imaging have significantly contributed to the growth of the diagnostic devices segment in the market. These advancements have enabled healthcare professionals to obtain high-quality diagnostic images and provide accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Furthermore, the increasing demand for portable and handheld ultrasound devices for point-of-care and emergency settings has also driven the growth of the diagnostic devices segment.
Cart/trolley segment holds the largest revenue share
The cart/trolley-based segment holds the largest revenue share due to its ability to transport the machine to the patient's location, making it easier to diagnose and treat patients without transferring critically ill patients. Additionally, cart/trolley-based ultrasound devices are widely used in emergency departments and intensive care units, contributing to their high demand.
The compact/handheld segment is expected to grow faster during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for home healthcare and remote patient monitoring, where compact/handheld devices are used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, technological advancements such as miniaturization and improved imaging capabilities are expected to boost the adoption of handheld ultrasound devices.
Radiology/general imaging segment accounted for the highest share
The radiology/general imaging segment accounts for the highest revenue share. Increasing use of ultrasound devices for diagnosing abdominal disorders and the rising number of abdominal examinations. General imaging is less expensive and easy to handle technology. For diagnosis and treatment, clinicians require various body scans, including thyroid, musculoskeletal, spleen, small parts, liver, pancreas, bladder, urology, scrotum, kidneys, abdominal, and gallbladder.
During the forecast period, the obstetrics and gynecology segment is expected to experience the fastest growth. This growth is primarily due to ultrasound devices' preference as a diagnostic modality for obstetrics and gynecological conditions, such as pregnancy, reproductive, and fertility issues.
