Point of Care Ultrasound Global Market Report 2024

The point of care ultrasound market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.93 billion in 2023 to $4.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increase in point-of-care testing, heightened clinical utility of point-of-care ultrasound, the adoption of compact and portable devices, the implementation of training and education programs, and the overall cost-effectiveness of utilizing such technology.

The point of care ultrasound market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.7 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration of point-of-care ultrasound with artificial intelligence, the expanding applications in primary care settings, the influence of global health initiatives, and increased utilization in remote and rural healthcare. Customization and the use of specialized probes are also contributing factors. Key trends expected in the forecast period include technological advancements, miniaturization and portability of devices, wireless connectivity and cloud integration, the extension of applications beyond radiology, and improved access to healthcare in remote and rural areas.

The anticipated growth of the point-of-care ultrasound market is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, characterized by long-term medical conditions that persist over an extended period and often progress slowly. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) plays a crucial role in managing chronic conditions, supporting early detection, personalized treatment, and remote monitoring, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes. As reported by the World Health Organization in September 2022, approximately 74% of the 41 million annual deaths globally are caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases. Notably, cardiovascular diseases account for 17.9 million deaths, cancer for 9.3 million deaths, chronic respiratory diseases for 4.1 million deaths, and diabetes for 2 million deaths. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases underscores the significance of the point-of-care ultrasound market in addressing healthcare challenges.
