Portable Ultrasound Equipment Market - Global Industry
Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 – 2025
Diagnostic ultrasound has been widely used for fetal and maternal health. Full size ultrasound
machines have been in use for years. These are quite large and prohibitively expensive, which restricts
their use in community settings. Advancement in technologies has helped in the development of
compact, portable ultrasound technologies that enable health care providers to deploy this tool for fetal
and maternal health in community settings and smaller clinics. Portable ultrasound devices are
medical imaging devices that use ultrasound to visualize muscles, tendons, internal organs, and to
diagnose a range of medical conditions. These devices were first introduced in the 1980s and over
the years have progressively undergone changes in their features. Presently, these devices are lauded
for being small, durable, and light weight. These provide high resolution, high quality images at a cost
significantly lower as compared to conventional ultrasound devices in critical care unit or emergency
department. These devices also aid in better monitoring and faster interventions in acute events. In
rural or remote areas where manpower and resources are limited, these devices have proved their
value by improving the level of treatment by transferring images to central locations.

The portable ultrasound equipment market is driven by early stage diagnosis of diseases. Early
disease diagnosis has helped in the detection of cardiovascular diseases, gynecological disorders,
and cancer. Early detection of these diseases enables physicians and clinicians to provide patients
with quick treatment options, thereby reducing mortality rates. Portable ultrasound equipment are
increasingly finding applications in vascular access, DVT surveillance, gallbladder visualization,
abdominal assessments, and urinary bladder dysfunction. Rising geriatric population and new product
launches have also fueled the growth of the portable ultrasound equipment market. Demand for these
devices has increased significantly due to growing adoption of minimally invasive procedures and
increasing use of these equipment for antenatal and prenatal care for mothers who do not have access
to large health care facilities. The market is projected to grow in the next few years; however, stringent
government regulations, cost associated with equipment, and lack of well trained and skilled personnel
are the major restraints of the portable ultrasound equipment market. Expanding applications of
ultrasound devices and growth in the emerging economies are some of the opportunities that could
drive the market.
The global portable ultrasound equipment market has been segmented based on product type,
application, end-user, and region. In terms of product type, the market has been divided into hand-
carried systems, hand-operated or handheld systems, and bedside systems. In terms of application,
the market has been categorized into gynecology, radiology, cardiology, urology, ophthalmology,
critical care medicine, musculoskeletal, emergency medicine, and anesthesiology. Based on end-user,
the global portable ultrasound equipment market has been segmented into hospitals, clinics,
ambulatory care centers, maternity centers, long-term care, home care, and others.
