The global ultrasound devices market Size is expected to exhibit a strong 8.1% CAGR over the forecast period, rising to a valuation of USD 10.37 billion by 2023, according to a new report from Market Research Future (MRFR). The report elaborates on the major drivers and restraints for the global ultrasound devices market in detail by analyzing their impact on the market’s trajectory over the forecast period.
The growing demand for ultrasound devices for diagnostic purposes is likely to be the major driver for the global ultrasound devices market over the forecast period. Ultrasound devices work by sending out high-frequency sound waves that provide a picture of the targeted area based on the response of various bodily tissues to the sound waves. Since different tissues react differently to the same sound waves, the technique has become popular in the healthcare sector. The lack of invasion in the use of ultrasound equipment manufacturers has also become a key plus point for the market due to the growing obsession with minimally invasive and noninvasive medical procedures. Therapeutic applications of ultrasound include targeting a specific patch of tissue for stimulation or removal by bombarding it with high-frequency sound waves. This application is also likely to remain a key factor for the global ultrasound devices market’s growth over the forecast period.
The growing demand for more advanced ultrasound devices in the gynecology sector is likely to be a major driver for the global ultrasound devices market over the forecast period. The development of 3D and 4D ultrasound imaging has allowed for the diagnosis of congenital defects clearly and earlier in the pregnancy, which has made the procedures widely popular in the healthcare sector around the world. 4D imaging also allows live action viewing of the fetus, which allows physicians to detect more abnormalities. This is likely to be a major driver for the global ultrasound devices market over the forecast period.
