Ultrasound Market Size, Industry Analysis Report,
Regional Outlook from 2017 to 2024.: Global Market
Insights Inc.
Ultrasound Market size should witness significant growth due to rising need for early
detection of cancerous and benign tumors, growing aged population coupled with
amplified prevalence of heart diseases. Augmented birth rate over the last few decades,
growing need for visualizing fetus to assess its development, observing abnormal
development of the face and limbs and blood flow in various organs will fuel the global
industry size. According to CDC, approximately 3,978, 497 births where recorded in
2015. Availability of technical facilities as well as growing accessibility and use of
medical technology will drive the industry size.
Ultrasound is an imaging system that uses high-frequency sound waves to deliver cross-
sectional images of the body. Ultrasound defines sound of frequencies above 20 000
Hertz, which are outside the human hearing range. Diagnostic imaging relies on
computerized examination of reflected ultrasound waves, which offers non-invasively
build up images of inner body structures. Growing government initiatives for disease
prevention coupled with rising public awareness towards health care will increase the
number of imaging procedures performed. Furthermore, mounting trends in advanced
ultrasound offing increased utilization and better patient outcomes will create
enormous growth opportunities.
However, movement of particles in fluid, adverse effects occur in tissue due to kinetic
energy of ultrasound waves, direct mechanical mutilation to cells by acceleration,
cavitation, and accumulation of particles or cells may hamper the industry growth. Lack
of experienced and skilled technicians and proliferation of more complex system and
technologies can restrain the business expansion in future.
Doppler ultrasound holds larger revenue share due to added advantages over other
methods like diagnose discrepancies in the hemodynamics of the blood flow, high
understanding of severe cardiovascular conditions and improved diagnostic accuracy.
Growing awareness towards fetus and women’s health during pregnancy will boost the
women’s health market share. Increasing number of abnormal neonatal birth and fetal
deaths will fuel the ultrasound market growth.
