The rising incidence of cardiovascular and respiratory disorders is expected to drive the growth of the ultrasound transducer market in the coming years. Cardiovascular and respiratory disorders encompass a range of medical conditions that affect the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and airways. Ultrasound transducers are widely used in the diagnosis and management of these disorders, playing a vital role in imaging and evaluating the structures and functions of the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and related organs. For example, in September 2024, data from the British Heart Foundation, a UK-based cardiovascular research charity, revealed that approximately 7.6 million people in the UK are affected by heart and circulatory diseases, with around 4 million men and 3.6 million women living with these conditions. These diseases account for about 27% of all deaths in the UK, resulting in over 170,000 deaths annually - roughly 480 deaths each day, or one death every three minutes. Furthermore, in March 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based government agency, reported an increase in tuberculosis cases, rising from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, an increase of 1,295 cases. Therefore, the growing prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory disorders is fueling the growth of the ultrasound transducer market.

The expected increase in the number of ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures is set to propel the growth of the ultrasound transducer market. Ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures utilize high-frequency sound waves to create real-time, non-invasive images of internal body structures. The ultrasound transducer is a critical component in these procedures, generating and capturing ultrasound waves. According to The National Health Service in England, diagnostic ultrasonography recorded 10.3 million imaging activities in 2021/22, indicating a 1.8% increase. Consequently, the rising number of ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures is contributing to the growth of the ultrasound transducer market.

Leading companies in the ultrasound transducer market are actively developing innovative technological products to meet the demands of clinicians in challenging environments, such as critical care and emergency medicine. The TEX20 Series, for example, is a point-of-care ultrasound system designed to assist clinicians in delivering improved patient care in demanding situations. In June 2022, Mindray Global, a China-based medical device company, launched the TEX20 Series, incorporating several innovative technologies to enhance image quality, clinical confidence, and workflow efficiency. The TEX20 series is equipped with ZST, AI-powered Smart Tools, an information integration system, an ergonomic design, a wireless transducer, advanced imaging modes, high-frequency imaging, and a portable design.

In March 2022, Observe Medical ASA, a medtech company based in Norway, acquired Biim Ultrasound AS for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows Observe Medical to strengthen its product portfolio and expand its distribution network in the US, facilitating the global commercialization of its innovative medical technologies. Biim Ultrasound AS is a medical technology company based in Norway that specializes in the production of ultrasound transducers.

An ultrasonic transducer is a device that utilizes the piezoelectric phenomenon to convert electrical energy into mechanical (sound) energy and vice versa. It is employed for generating and detecting ultrasound waves in medical imaging, playing a crucial role in the production and reception of ultrasound waves within the handheld component of ultrasound machines. These machines are extensively used in healthcare for visualizing the internal structures of the body.

The primary types of ultrasound transducer products include linear, convex, phased array, endocavitary, continuous wave Doppler, and others. A linear transducer is a specific type or design of ultrasound transducer probe characterized by the arrangement of its transducer elements in a linear or straight line configuration within the probe. It finds applications in various forms, such as linear, convex, phased array, endocavitary, continuous wave Doppler, among others. These transducers cater to diverse end-users, including hospitals, diagnostic centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and clinics.
