Increasing birth rates in countries such as Russia, China and Germany will serve to be another positive impact rendering factor that will drive business growth over analysis timeframe. Ultrasound scans provide medical practitioners with vital information pertaining to the progress of pregnancy and baby’s health. Capability of diagnostic ultrasound to detect anomalies in baby’s position and actions inside the mother’s womb will further propel industry growth.

2D imaging segment is expected to witness 2.7% CAGR during the forecast timeframe. High acceptance for 2D ultrasound technology in middle to lower income countries will augment the segmental growth. For instance, China and India are contributing substantially to medical imaging equipment market with an effort to create a modern healthcare system. Thus, growing acceptance for 2D techniques in developing economies will further propel segmental growth.

Trolley segment accounted for more than 70% revenue share in 2018. These systems have been conventionally used for diagnostic ultrasound examinations prior to the introduction of the portable systems. Better image quality, easy-to-use structure and built-in advanced features render these systems useful in medical practice. Trolley systems are more durable and require less technical assistance thus, driving segmental growth in developing and underdeveloped regions.

Obstetrics and gynecology segment accounted for over USD 1 billion in 2018. Growing adoption of real-time imaging in obstetrics and gynecology, especially for imaging mobile subjects, such as fetus heart or fetus as well as for quick viewing of an organ from different orientations will boost diagnostics ultrasound business growth.

Maternity centers segment held significant share in 2018 and is estimated to show 3.7% CAGR in the foreseeable future. Rising birth rate globally coupled with increasing complication in pregnancy and growing awareness towards safety of fetus will accelerate segmental growth over the forecast period. Moreover, growing access to ultrasound in maternity centers, rising availability of ultrasound services in developing countries and increasing emphasis on routine ultrasound during pregnancy will further spur revenue size.

Europe diagnostic ultrasound market will experience 2.6% CAGR during the analysis period. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases coupled with rapidly ageing population in the region will drive Europe diagnostic ultrasound market growth. Moreover, high technological adoption and healthcare advancement in countries such as Germany will favor industry growth. Favorable reimbursement policies with respect to fetal ultrasound imaging as well as cancer screening will escalate regional business growth.

Asia Pacific diagnostic ultrasound devices market accounted for more than 35% revenue share in 2018 due to presence of large patient pool in the region. According to WHO by 2050, around 80% of elderly population will be living in low and middle-income countries. Rising geriatric population base prone to various chronic diseases will favor regional growth. Developing healthcare infrastructure and increasing healthcare spending will support Asia Pacific diagnostic ultrasound business growth over the forecast timeframe.

Notable players operating in diagnostic ultrasound market includes Koninklijke Philips, Analogic, Chison, Arthrex, C.R. Bard, Esaote, FujiFilm, GE Healthcare, Mobisante and Promed, Fukuda Denshi, Hitachi and Kalamed. The major industry players adopt strategies such as mergers, acquisition and new product launch to sustain market position and broaden existing customer base.
