It is estimated that the worldwide market for portable ultrasound equipment will grow at a CAGR of more than 9% over the period 2017-2021, driven by the three main emerging trends: broader applications, increasing demand and early diagnosis of the disease.

These are the latest discoveries of Technavio Research, (London, UK), a global research and technology consulting firm. According to Technavio, the following three factors are contributing to the growth of the global market for portable ultrasound equipment:

Larger applications for portable ultrasound equipment: For emergency departments such as ICUs, NICUs and UCCs as well as in outpatient departments, portable ultrasound equipment has become an important device. Portable ultrasound equipment has also gained increasing acceptance among cardiologists, radiologists and other specialists because of its light weight, mobility and compact features. According to Technavio, the growth of the ultrasound diagnostic imaging market is aided by rising birth rates and the adoption of in vitro fertilization methods among the high-end population, requiring high-resolution ultrasound imaging.

The Growing Demand for Portable Ultrasound Devices: Today’s portable ultrasound devices offer a highly sophisticated home care service for people through wireless functions such as Bluetooth and any near-field communication. Technological advances have also made it possible for portable ultrasound devices to be powered or remotely recharged through the use of fabrics and plastics. As a result, portable ultrasound devices improve mobility, connectivity and ease of transportation. In addition, according to Technavio, manufacturers are using semiconductor technology to develop portable ultrasonic devices that consume minimal power, thus reducing the overall price of the system by reducing energy consumption.

Increased use of ultrasound for the early diagnosis of the disease: Increased incidence of chronic diseases has led to increased knowledge of health among a certain segment of the population and a greater interest in preventive measures, including early diagnosis , By means of ultrasound images. This has led to a reduction in the incidence of recurrent and chronic disorders with respect to previous levels.
