Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Global Market Report 2024

The ultrasound probe disinfection market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.45 billion in 2023 to $0.51 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including heightened awareness of infection control practices, regulatory requirements, the increase in ultrasound procedures, and outbreaks of infectious diseases.

The ultrasound probe disinfection market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including increasing healthcare expenditure, the expansion of healthcare infrastructure, the growing geriatric population, and a heightened focus on patient safety. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass automation and robotics, UV-C disinfection methods, the adoption of single-use probe covers, chemical-free disinfection techniques, and the integration of ultrasound machines with disinfection protocols.

The projected increase in birth rates and pregnancies is set to drive the growth of the ultrasound probe disinfection market in the coming years. Elevated birth rates and a surge in pregnancies indicate population growth, influenced by factors such as improved healthcare, cultural norms, economic stability, and access to family planning services. In prenatal care, ultrasound probe disinfection is essential to prevent infection transmission between patients and ensure the safety of both mother and fetus during examinations. For example, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based public health organization, showed a 1% rise in registered births in the United States in January 2023, totaling 3,664,292 compared to the previous year. Correspondingly, there was a 1% increase in the general fertility rate, reaching 56.3 births per 1,000 women aged 15-44, with a total fertility rate of 1,664 births per 1,000 women. Hence, the growing birth rates and pregnancies will fuel the demand for ultrasound probe disinfection.

Key players in the ultrasound probe disinfection market are concentrating on developing high-level disinfection products, such as disinfecting foam, to streamline the disinfection process in healthcare facilities. Disinfecting foam, a foam-based solution, is utilized to clean and sanitize ultrasound probes between patient examinations, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and infection transmission. For instance, in June 2023, Parker Laboratories Inc., a US-based medical products company, obtained FDA clearance for Tristel ULT, an innovative disinfecting foam for high-level disinfection of ultrasound probes used in body cavities and on skin-surface transducers. Manufactured and distributed exclusively for the US market through Parker Laboratories' partnership with UK-based Tristel plc, Tristel ULT employs a proprietary foam formulation containing chlorine dioxide, ensuring safe and effective disinfection. It has demonstrated efficacy against various pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, making it an unmatched solution for ultrasound probe disinfection.

In January 2021, STERIS plc, an Ireland-based provider of infection prevention products and services, acquired Cantel Medical Corp. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition bolstered STERIS's infection prevention portfolio, expanding its presence in the dental market and reinforcing its commitment to global healthcare and life science innovation. Cantel Medical Corp., a US-based supplier and manufacturer of infection prevention and control products, including ultrasound probe disinfection, was the target of this acquisition.
