The ultrasonic laboratory equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth during the forecast period will result from the growing adoption in pharmaceutical research and development, rising need for high-frequency testing, increasing demand for portable ultrasonic devices, expansion of biotechnology research, and growing investments in laboratory automation. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in transducer technology, innovations in digital signal processing, progress in miniaturized ultrasonic systems, developments in nanotechnology applications, and integration of cloud-based data management.

The increasing funding for scientific research is expected to drive the growth of the ultrasonic laboratory equipment market in the coming years. Scientific research is the systematic and methodical process of investigating questions, collecting data, and drawing conclusions based on evidence and analysis. Funding for scientific research is rising due to the growing global emphasis on healthcare innovation, as governments and private organizations invest more to develop new treatments, improve diagnostics, and address emerging health challenges. Increased financial support for research enables laboratories to acquire ultrasonic equipment, allowing researchers to conduct experiments with greater precision and efficiency. For example, in April 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, the UK government’s spending on research and development (R&D) reached $23.3 billion (£17.4 billion) in 2023, up from $21.5 billion (£16.1 billion) in 2022, representing an 8.2% increase. Therefore, the rising funding for scientific research is fueling the expansion of the ultrasonic laboratory equipment market.

Major companies operating in the ultrasonic laboratory equipment market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as handheld ultrasound devices to minimize reliance on large, stationary instruments. A handheld ultrasound device is a portable, compact instrument that produces real-time images of internal body structures using high-frequency sound waves for diagnostic evaluation. For example, in September 2023, Mindray, a China-based health technology company, introduced the TE Air Wireless Handheld Ultrasound. This compact, portable ultrasonic device enhances laboratory efficiency by fitting easily into limited spaces while maintaining precise and consistent performance. It can connect seamlessly to multiple laboratory systems or instruments, increasing its versatility for various experimental setups. Designed for point-of-use applications, it supports diverse research and testing environments with reliable operation. Its portable design and flexible power options ensure readiness at all times, enabling researchers to perform experiments accurately and efficiently across different laboratory settings.

In August 2023, ALTANA, a Germany-based chemical company, acquired Imaginant for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ALTANA aims to strengthen its portfolio of testing and measurement instruments, particularly in ultrasonic technology, to enhance quality control and nondestructive testing capabilities. Imaginant is a US-based company that specializes in ultrasonic laboratory equipment.

North America was the largest region in the ultrasonic laboratory equipment market in 2024. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in ultrasonic laboratory equipment report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

This ultrasonic laboratory equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Ultrasonic laboratory equipment consists of instruments that generate high-frequency sound waves to interact with materials in a controlled environment. These sound waves create vibrations that can alter the physical or chemical properties of samples, enabling precise and consistent processing in laboratory applications.

The main product types of ultrasonic laboratory equipment include ultrasonic cleaners, ultrasonic probes, ultrasonic homogenizers, ultrasonic bath systems, and ultrasonic processors. Ultrasonic cleaners are advanced devices that utilize high-frequency sound waves to produce microscopic bubbles in a liquid cleaning solution, which then collapse with force to create a scrubbing effect capable of reaching small crevices and complex surfaces that traditional cleaning methods cannot access. This equipment employs various technologies such as ultrasonic technology, high-intensity focused ultrasound, ultrasonic dispersion technology, ultrasonic mixing technology, and ultrasonic imaging technology. It is applied in material science, biomedical research, food and beverage processing, chemical analysis, and environmental testing. Distribution channels include direct sales, online retail, third-party distributors, specialized equipment suppliers, and wholesale suppliers. It is used by multiple end users, including research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, academic laboratories, industrial manufacturers, and the food and beverage industry.
