Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 11/19/2018 --Ultrasound Devices Market – Snapshot

Ultrasound devices are utilized as both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic modality, and have wide range of applications in the medical field. The introduction of 4D ultrasound imaging has revolutionized the imaging industry in the last few years and has proven to be efficient in diagnosing cancer and other complex diseases. Additionally, this technology is proving its efficiency in imaging, while performing complex surgeries. The global ultrasound devices market was valued at US$ 6.5 Bn in 2017. It is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2018 to 2026. The diagnostic ultrasound segment dominates the global market. Rising prevalence of chronic diseases, technological advancements, increasing patient awareness and health care expenditure, and rising need for treatment of complex diseases are major factors driving the market. Considerable expansion of the therapeutic ultrasound segment is driven by significant expansion of the extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy sub-segment, which is due to the increasing need for effective treatment for kidney stone. The highly fragmented nature of the ultrasound devices market has prompted market players to shift focus toward relatively niche segments such as portable ultrasound devices.
