Report Overview

The global ultrasound devices market was valued at USD 9.79 Billion in 2023. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.24% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 and attain a market value of USD 14.23 Billion by 2032. The market growth is driven by the increased use of ultrasound equipment for diagnostic imaging and treatment, as well as the rising prevalence of chronic and lifestyle illnesses. When compared to other diagnostic imaging technologies, ultrasound is the most cost-effective and fastest diagnostic tool in medical imaging. Since it does not use ionizing radiation or magnetic fields; it is safer than other imaging technologies. Such advantages have a significant impact on the patent activity for these devices.

  • The growing prevalence of chronic conditions such as liver cancer, cysts, tumors, fatty liver disease, and gynecological issues is expected to drive the demand for ultrasound devices.
  • Global regulatory agencies are implementing more stringent regulations regarding boosting the efficiency and accuracy of ultrasound devices. As a result, more sophisticated ultrasound device technologies are being used to abide by these rules and guarantee product safety.
  • Ultrasound equipment is increasingly being used in intraoperative situations, assisting surgeons in making informed decisions during surgeries. Intraoperative ultrasonography allows for real-time imaging of anatomical features, guiding surgical procedures with precision and minimizing complications. This increase in use has altered surgical techniques, improved outcomes, and reduced the necessity for invasive exploratory procedures. The capacity to examine tissue features and measure surgical progress intraoperatively boosts ultrasound equipment's status as a critical tool for surgical teams.

What are Ultrasound Devices?

Ultrasound devices are medical imaging instruments that use high-frequency sound waves to provide real-time visual images of the body's interior. These devices work by sending sound waves via a transducer, which then records the echoes as they bounce off interior structures. The reflected echoes are turned into electrical impulses and then processed to produce detailed images that are presented on a monitor. Ultrasound instruments are frequently utilized for diagnostic purposes, such as assessing organs, tissues, and blood flow, and are critical for applications like prenatal imaging, cardiac assessment, and musculoskeletal evaluation. They are valued for their non-invasiveness and absence of ionizing radiation. Advanced 3D/4D ultrasound systems provide three-dimensional, real-time imaging, whilst Doppler ultrasound instruments assess blood flow and cardiovascular problems. Furthermore, obstetric ultrasonography machines are specially designed for monitoring pregnancy.

Ultrasound Devices Industry Growth Drivers

Growing Investments in the R&D of Ultrasound Devices are Expected to Boost the Patent Industry Growth

Technological developments such as AI integration and improvement in the accuracy of handheld ultrasound devices have improved the precision and efficiency of diagnosis and imaging of diseases. For instance, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation awarded GE HealthCare a grant of more than USD 44 million to develop a user-friendly, AI-assisted ultrasound imaging auto-assessment tool which would help healthcare professionals in handling ultrasound devices without specialized training or experience with ultrasound. Moreover, it can also provide clinical decision information to support more effective obstetric and lung screening ultrasound scans across maternal and foetal care as well as paediatric, and lung health. The utilization of such technologies is anticipated to impact the patent landscape significantly.

Rising Incidences of Chronic Diseases and a Rising Geriatric Population are Expected to Propel the Ultrasound Devices Patent Industry

According to a National Council of Aging study released in October 2023, almost 95% of persons aged 60 and above have at least one chronic ailment, with nearly 80% having two or more. The rising frequency of chronic diseases has increased the demand for healthcare services, including a rise in patient visits, hospital admissions, and surgical procedures. For example, in 2021, the CDC reported that there were more than 1.0 billion physician office visits, 131.3 million emergency department visits, and 41.5 million outpatient procedures performed in the United States. The growing global elderly population and chronic illnesses have increased demand for medical imaging equipment, such as ultrasound, for diagnosis and treatment.
