Global Portable Ultrasound Equipment Market Growth Forecast Mar-2017 | Page 2

One challenge in portable ultrasound equipment market is growing end users' preference toward refurbished equipment. The steady growth in the sales of refurbished equipment indicates that a good number of customers prefer buying them. In the today's dynamic healthcare landscape, it is difficult to decide on investing in a new medical device. To combat that, refurbished medical equipment is an attractive option for many end-users, who are eager to cut down on the extreme costs, yet obtain the necessary medical devices. On an average, the customer can get a saving of around 20%-80% of the selling price, and gets quality items, if one chooses them from a trusted supplier of refurbished medical products. Used and refurbished portable ultrasound equipment are available at lower prices than new ones. In addition, many of this equipment come with vendor warranties. Further, customers from developing countries have low awareness about refurbishment process and purchasing power. Refurbished devices thus allow them to access the latest technology at a significantly lower price. In addition, many end- users prefer buying products from local vendors because doing so allows them to access better after- sales services. All these factors are compelling large vendors to scale down the prices of their portable ultrasound equipment, hampering their profitability.
