Research Highlights

Ultrasound machines are becoming lighter, more portable, and compact due to advances in a number of areas of technology (e.g., scan mode, image retrieval, operation system, and so on.), and especially by the incorporation of laptop computer technology. Conventional breast ultrasound technologies are criticized as being too operator-dependent and user-biased. Hence, advancements in ultrasound technology have led to the drive toward automation in ultrasound procedures. As the system is software-controlled, it minimizes human intervention, thereby, reducing false readings, human errors, or biases. These factors determine the growth of the ultrasound market.

The growth of the ultrasound market is driven by the emerging clinical segment, as the established clinical segment has reached a saturation stage in most developed countries. With the introduction of portable and game-changing ultra-portable ultrasound, the market is witnessing tremendous unit shipments every year.

Growth of cart-based systems is primarily driven by India, China and eastern European countries, while developed regions use portable and ultra-portable ultrasound scanners. Growing awareness about the harmful effects of radiation exposure from other imaging modalities and delivery of ultrasound services at the site of patients who are immobile, increasing utility in emergency care settings are driving the uptake of ultrasound systems
