The global ultrasound devices market size was estimated at USD 9.79 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.24% from 2024 to 2030. The market growth is poised to be driven by the rising usage of ultrasound equipment for diagnostic imaging and treatment, along with the increasing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle disorders. Other factors influencing market growth include increased demand for minimally invasive surgeries and frequent developments in ultrasound imaging technology. Ultrasound is a leading diagnostic tool in medical imaging, compared to other diagnostic imaging systems, since it is less expensive and faster. Moreover, as it does not utilize ionizing radiation or magnetic fields, it is safer than other imaging technologies.

Both diagnostic and therapeutic uses for the ultrasonic medical device are extensive. Specific therapeutic applications of ultrasound, from oncology to cardiology, have grown in popularity. The development of wireless transducers, app-based ultrasound technology, fusion with CT/MR, laparoscopic ultrasound, and the expansion of ultrasound device applications in 3D imaging and shear wave elastography are expected to support market growth. For instance, in March 2023, KronosMD, INC., a division of Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc., confirmed its acquisition of all current and future properties and patents related to its planned breakthrough 3D ultrasonic dentistry imaging and diagnostic equipment.
