The introduction of mobile connectivity in handheld wireless cardiac ultrasound systems and patients’ growing preference for real-time imaging solutions supported the 5.9% year-over-year growth of the cardiac ultrasound systems market in 2021. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the global market for cardiac ultrasound systems saw a 6% increase in revenue between 2016 and 2020. Sales are expected to grow between 2021 and 2031 at a CAGR of 5.0%.
A recent turning point that has changed the performance of cardiac ultrasound systems is patients’ growing preference for connected ultrasound systems for real-time diagnosis.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 17 million people worldwide pass away from cardiovascular diseases each year. Rapid technological advancements to make the current cardiac ultrasound devices more compact and user-friendly will positively influence the market growth throughout the forecast period, as will an increase in referrals to cardiologists due to complications.
Due to increased efforts to build stronger distribution channels and manufacturers shifting to emerging nations to achieve a high return on investments, the market for cardiac ultrasound systems is expected to see positive growth prospects shortly.
In the coming years, a rise in the number of specializations in imaging and radiological technology as well as a sharp increase in the number of independent imaging centers will spur revenue growth.
Due to the rising popularity of bedside ultrasonography among people, portable cardiac ultrasound systems are predicted to experience impressive market penetration in the coming years.
Sales of cardiac ultrasound systems are being hampered, particularly in developing economies, by a lack of favorable insurance and reimbursement policies as well as high equipment costs.
The absence of sufficient government grants and the high upfront costs associated with installing contemporary cardiac ultrasound systems will restrain market expansion.
Key Takeaways from FMI’s Cardiac ultrasound systems Market Study
- North American cardiac ultrasound systems market will exhibit steady growth at 4.70% CAGR through 2031, driven by increasing demand for portable and attractive cardiac devices among cardiologists in U.S. and Canada.
- European cardiac ultrasound systems market led by Germany, France, and Italy is forecast to grow at 5.30% CAGR during the forecast period. The rise in growth can be attributed to increasing government spending on healthcare and the presence of top manufacturers in the region.
- Increasing cases of cardiovascular and lifestyle diseases in India will drive the demand for cardiac ultrasound systems in the country.
