Robotic Ultrasound Systems Global Market Report 2025

The robotic ultrasound systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.52 billion in 2024 to $1.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. Growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising adoption of minimally invasive procedures, increasing clinical demand for workflow standardization, a growing emphasis on reducing operator dependency, expanding use of remote consultation services, and heightened focus on radiation-free imaging modalities.

The robotic ultrasound systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.25 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%. Growth in the forecast period can be linked to expanding investment in smart healthcare infrastructure, rising demand for remote and autonomous scanning capabilities, greater prioritization of resource-efficient imaging, increasing emphasis on patient-centric diagnostic pathways, and the accelerated adoption of decentralized care models. Major trends expected in the forecast period include improvements in robotic articulation mechanisms, advancements in real-time image optimization algorithms, integration of artificial intelligence for scan guidance, enhanced multimodal imaging compatibility, and the development of adaptive force-feedback systems.

The rising patient volumes are expected to drive the growth of the robotic ultrasound systems market going forward. Patient volumes refer to the number of individuals seeking medical evaluation, diagnostic services, or treatment within a healthcare facility over a specific period. Increasing patient volumes are mainly driven by growing pressure on emergency and inpatient services, as higher care demand often exceeds available clinical capacity, resulting in delays that accumulate and increase the number of patients waiting for timely assessment. Robotic ultrasound systems help address the challenges of rising patient volumes by improving scanning efficiency, enhancing workflow throughput, and enabling clinicians to manage a larger caseload with greater consistency and reduced operational strain. For example, in October 2025, the British Medical Association (BMA), a UK-based professional association and trade union, reported that the number of patients waiting more than 12 hours for emergency admission rose from 35,900 in August 2025 to nearly 44,800 in September 2025. Therefore, increasing patient volumes are contributing to the growth of the robotic ultrasound systems market.

Key companies operating in the robotic ultrasound systems market are focusing on developing technologically advanced products, such as robotic ultrasound platforms, to enhance scanning efficiency and reduce operator strain. A robotic ultrasound platform is a computer-assisted system that uses robotic actuation to position and control an ultrasound transducer, providing consistent imaging while minimizing physical effort for clinicians. For example, in May 2025, Life Science Robotics, a Denmark-based medical robotics solutions developer, introduced ARUS. This system features a robotic arm with joystick-based control, haptic feedback, and adaptive pressure management to support precise ultrasound scanning with reduced physical burden on sonographers. It is designed to improve image consistency, enhance scanning for patients with high body mass index, and reduce work-related musculoskeletal risks in obstetric imaging environments.

In December 2023, Butterfly Network Inc., a US-based provider of portable semiconductor-based ultrasound devices and imaging software, entered a commercial agreement with Mendaera Inc. to integrate its ultrasound-on-chip technology into Mendaera’s next-generation interventional robotic system. Through this partnership, Butterfly Network aims to expand the use of its Ultrasound-on-Chip technology in the robotic-intervention market by powering Mendaera’s image-guided, needle-based robotic platform. Mendaera Inc. is a US-based medical robotics company specializing in handheld robotic ultrasound-guided procedure systems.

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.

Robotic ultrasound systems are advanced medical imaging technologies that combine robotic mechanisms with traditional ultrasound to deliver precise, consistent, and often remote-controlled patient scanning. Their primary function is to enhance imaging accuracy, minimize operator dependency, and enable remote or automated ultrasound examinations, thereby improving diagnostic efficiency and patient care. They help support standardized imaging, remote or teleoperated scanning, and greater reproducibility in both routine and complex ultrasound procedures.

The key product types of robotic ultrasound systems include trolley-based robotic ultrasound systems and compact or portable robotic ultrasound systems. Trolley-based robotic ultrasound systems are mobile, cart-mounted units that use robotic components to position and control an ultrasound transducer, providing consistent and efficient clinical imaging. These systems come in automated and semi-automated technologies and are used for diagnostic imaging, interventional procedures, therapeutic applications, and more. They serve various end users such as hospitals, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical centers, research institutes, and others.
