HANDHELD ULTRASOUND DEVICE SYSTEM MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Handheld Ultrasound Device System Market size is USD 0.52 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.28 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 17.9% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

A number of medical imaging modalities are available on the market, with handheld ultrasound device system being one among them. To see the inside organs of the body, an ultrasonic device uses high frequency sound waves. It can be characterised as a gadget that uses high-frequency sound waves to take pictures of interior organs. The transducer and ultrasound detector, or probe, are the two main components of an ultrasound system. This non-ionizing radiation, minimally invasive diagnostic method can identify and treat physical illnesses without using radiation on the body. Expectant parents can employ portable ultrasound equipment that is versatile and simple to use. The market is being driven by a number of important factors, including increased medical technology improvements, a growth in patients' preferences for minimally invasive procedures, and widespread use of imaging equipment in emergency care.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Effectuated the Emphasize and Downsized the Market Demand

The COVID-19 epidemic affected the healthcare industry in a variety of ways, negatively affecting some markets like the one for fertility treatments while positively affecting others like the market for mechanical ventilators, where demand for these devices increased in 2020. Early on in the pandemic, certain nations enacted lockdowns that severely restricted the capacity to carry out standard medical procedures. As a result, there was a large decrease in hospital visits and the use of many diagnostic techniques, including ultrasound imaging, was discontinued. As a result, the number of patients seeking diagnoses and treatments substantially decreased, having a detrimental effect on the global market. However, in some circumstances, the use of imaging systems for the diagnosis of COVID-19 compensates for this fatal consequence.

LATEST TRENDS

The Advancements and Development Made in the Device to Inflate the Market Demand

The rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases such cancer tumours, gallstones, and fatty liver disease among others, together with excessive spending in the healthcare business, are the main factors driving the global economy. Moreover, the primary factors that are projected to enhance the market's demand throughout the forecast period are the growth in awareness of early disease detection and technological developments in ultrasound imaging technologies.

By Application

Based on the application; the handheld ultrasound device system market is divided into hospital, clinic, home care and others.

DRIVING FACTORS

The General Imaging Segment Contributing Highest Revenue to Advance the Market Share

The radiology/general imaging area generated the most revenue. This is due to an increase in the number of abdominal examinations and the growing use of ultrasound technologies for diagnosing abdominal illnesses. Furthermore, the OB/GYN segment is expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period due to the preferred diagnostic modality for obstetrics and gynaecological problems (pregnancy, reproductive, and fertility problems, among others), which is expected to propel the handheld ultrasound device system industry growth.

Rising Demand for Portable Devices to Drive the Market Growth

Handheld ultrasound device system is portable or mobile imaging equipment or scanners used to view internal organs or scan body components in order to diagnose various ailments and decide on the best course of therapy. The market for handheld imaging devices is seeing an increase in demand for lightweight, portable scanners that can do whole-brain MRI scans for patients with mobility issues. This huge share is owing to the system's benefit of providing important insights for soft tissues without exposing patients to ionising radiation. As a result, it is the most commonly used medium of diagnosis in gynaecology and obstetrics. It provides more realistic and comprehensive imaging of interior organs. Furthermore, ultrasound is less expensive than CT, MRI, and hysterosalpingogram, making it more accessible to a large proportion of patients. The use of these portable imaging equipment for disease screening has increased recently due to their portability and ease of use.

RESTRAINNG FACTORS

The High Cost of the Devices to Restrain the Market

Handheld ultrasound device system that may be used in hospitals and clinics and are designed to make healthcare professionals' jobs easier. However, the high cost of ultrasound devices is anticipated to limit the use of ultrasound imaging devices and impede the growth of the ultrasound imaging devices market over the forecast period. Over the course of the forecast period, the aforementioned reasons are anticipated to constrain the handheld ultrasound device system market growth.
