The diagnostic ultrasound market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.95 billion in 2025 to $8.4 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited adoption of advanced imaging technologies, reliance on traditional 2D ultrasound devices, increasing awareness of prenatal and cardiac diagnostics, growing hospital and diagnostic center infrastructure, demand for non-invasive imaging solutions.
The diagnostic ultrasound market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in ai-powered ultrasound systems, rising adoption of handheld and portable devices, increasing geriatric and maternal healthcare requirements, integration with telehealth and cloud-based diagnostics, development of high-resolution 3d/4D and doppler imaging systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of portable and hand-held ultrasound devices, increasing use of 3D and 4D imaging in obstetrics and gynecology, growing application of doppler imaging in cardiology and critical care, integration of ultrasound with telemedicine and remote diagnostics, focus on non-invasive and radiation-free diagnostic methods.
The increasing preference for minimally invasive surgeries is anticipated to drive the growth of the diagnostic ultrasound market in the coming years. Minimally invasive surgeries involve medical procedures conducted through small incisions using specialized tools and imaging technologies, resulting in less bodily trauma than conventional open surgeries. This demand is rising mainly because these procedures typically offer quicker recovery times, reduced pain, and fewer complications. Diagnostic ultrasound plays a vital role in supporting minimally invasive surgeries by providing real-time imaging guidance, which helps ensure accurate targeting, enhances surgical precision, and reduces the need for more invasive diagnostic techniques. For example, in August 2023, The Aesthetic Society, a US-based plastic surgery and cosmetic medicine organization, reported that Americans spent over $11.8 billion on minimally invasive procedures, a 2% increase from the previous year. As a result, the growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries is fueling the expansion of the diagnostic ultrasound market.
Major companies in the diagnostic ultrasound market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as AI-enhanced compact echocardiography systems, aimed at improving imaging precision, streamlining examination workflows, and broadening access to high-quality cardiac diagnostics across various healthcare settings. AI-integrated compact ultrasound systems are portable imaging platforms that combine automated measurement features, intelligent guidance, and high-resolution imaging to enable rapid and dependable cardiac evaluations at the point of care. For example, in March 2025, Royal Philips, a health technology company based in the Netherlands, introduced its AI-enhanced Compact Ultrasound 5500CV, a next-generation echocardiography system designed to allow clinicians to conduct exams up to 50% faster using automated cardiac measurement tools, while providing advanced imaging capabilities in a portable design to support efficient, high-quality cardiac assessments in multiple clinical environments.
In October 2024, GE HealthCare, a US-based medical technology firm, acquired the clinical artificial intelligence (AI) division of Intelligent Ultrasound for $0.053 billion. The objective of this acquisition is to enhance GE HealthCare’s ultrasound imaging capabilities by incorporating advanced AI technologies that enable real-time image analysis and assist in clinical decision-making. Intelligent Ultrasound, based in the UK, is a medical software company that develops AI solutions to improve the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasound diagnostics.

Diagnostic ultrasound is a medical test that uses sound waves to produce images of the inside of the body. It allows doctors to visualize organs, tissues, and blood flow without making any incisions. This technique is safe, painless, and does not involve harmful radiation. It is commonly used to evaluate medical conditions and monitor pregnancies.
The primary technologies in diagnostic ultrasound include two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging, three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) ultrasound imaging, and Doppler imaging. Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound imaging is a method that generates flat, real-time cross-sectional images of internal structures using high-frequency sound waves. These systems are available in portable formats, including trolley-based and handheld devices. They are utilized in various fields such as anesthesiology, cardiology, gynecology or obstetrics, musculoskeletal radiology, critical care, radiology, and others, and are used by end-users such as hospitals, maternity centers, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical services, and more.
The diagnostic ultrasound market consists of revenues earned by entities by providing services such as ultrasound imaging services, tele-ultrasound services, and training and education services. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. The diagnostic ultrasound market also includes sales of portable ultrasound systems, laptop-based ultrasound systems, linear array probes, transesophageal probes, needle guidance probes, and elastography ultrasound systems. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values; that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
