The global ultrasound probe disinfection market accounted for USD 0.576 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 2.29 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 13.36% during the forecast period 2024-2034. The market will grow as a result of factors such as the rising prevalence of hospital-acquired infections, increased awareness of infection control and prevention, technological advancements in disinfection solutions, and the growing use of ultrasound imaging in diagnostic and interventional procedures.
The non-invasive nature and adaptability of ultrasound imaging make it a popular tool for diagnostic and interventional purposes in many medical professions. Reliability and efficiency in probe disinfection treatments are becoming more and more important as ultrasonography operations are conducted worldwide and ultrasound imaging techniques become more widely used. For instance, in January 2024, STERIS successfully acquired Cantel Medical, a company that specializes in endoscope reprocessing systems and other infection prevention solutions.
By product, the instruments segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global ultrasound probe disinfection market in 2023 owing to the increased demand for advanced and automated disinfection systems, which offer efficient and reliable disinfection solutions for a wide range of ultrasound probes, ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory standards and guidelines. For instance, Germitec expanded its business in May 2022 thanks to a EUR 11 million financing round from well-known French health industry investors. Plans for both European and global commercial expansion were initiated to fortify the standing of UV-C-based high-level disinfection in a market valued at around EUR 245 million. Additionally, the consumables segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing awareness about the importance of regular probe maintenance and disinfection, leading to higher consumption of disinfectant wipes, solutions, and other consumables, particularly in healthcare facilities striving to minimize the risk of infections.
By process, the high-level disinfection segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global ultrasound probe disinfection market in 2023 owing to the growing emphasis on patient safety and infection control, prompting healthcare facilities to prioritize thorough disinfection methods that ensure the highest level of microbial kill and compliance with regulatory standards. For instance, Nanosonics stated in November 2023 that Trophon2, its newest ultrasound probe disinfection technology, would be available in the European market. Additionally, the intermediate/low-level disinfection segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing adoption of ultrasound probes in various clinical settings, driving demand for cost-effective disinfection solutions that provide broad-spectrum microbial reduction without the need for high-level disinfection processes.
By probe type, the linear transducers segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global ultrasound probe disinfection market in 2023 owing to the growing utilization of linear transducers in a wide range of diagnostic and interventional ultrasound procedures, leading to higher demand for effective disinfection solutions tailored to the specific design and material composition of these probes. For instance, CS Medical released an updated version of their TD 100® automated TEE probe disinfection system in October 2023, including additional capabilities to increase workflow productivity. Additionally, the phased array transducers segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increased adoption of phased array transducers in advanced cardiac and vascular imaging applications, driving the demand for specialized disinfection solutions designed to effectively clean and disinfect the intricate surfaces of these probes, ensuring patient safety and regulatory compliance.
By end-user, the hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global ultrasound probe disinfection market in 2023 owing to the increased volume of ultrasound procedures performed in hospital settings and diagnostic imaging centers, necessitating robust disinfection protocols and leading to higher adoption of advanced disinfection solutions tailored to the specific needs of these healthcare facilities. For instance, Tristel announced in February 2024 that its Tristel Trio Wipes System, a high-level ultrasonic probe disinfection system, would be available in the US. Additionally, the ambulatory care centers segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising trend towards outpatient services and minimally invasive procedures, driving the demand for portable and efficient ultrasound probe disinfection solutions suited to the unique requirements of ambulatory care settings.
North American region is anticipated to have the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the presence of well-established healthcare infrastructure, stringent regulatory standards promoting the adoption of advanced disinfection practices, and high healthcare expenditure supporting the demand for innovative ultrasound probe disinfection solutions Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rapidly expanding healthcare infrastructure, increasing investments in medical technology, rising awareness about infection control measures, and growing adoption of ultrasound imaging techniques across various clinical specialties in the region. For instance, ASP's STERRAD VELOCITY Biological Indicator System, intended to track the efficacy of sterilizing procedures, including those involving ultrasound probes, was approved by the FDA in March 2023.
This extensive research report concentrates on the size and projections of the global and regional markets from 2023 to 2034.
