3D ULTRASOUND MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2024-2031)

Key Takeaways from Analyst

Global 3D ultrasound market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to rising demand for minimally invasive surgical procedures and advantages of 3D ultrasound over 2D ultrasound. 3D ultrasound provides high resolution images that help surgeons to better visualize internal organs and tissues during diagnosis and pre-surgery planning. This reduces the risks associated with surgeries and improves clinical outcomes. North America currently dominates the market, due to rapid technological advancements and increasing healthcare expenditure in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing market due to rising medical tourism, burgeoning middle class and improving healthcare infrastructure.

High costs of 3D ultrasound systems and lack of skilled radiologists can impede the demand. 3D ultrasound requires well-trained professionals to capture and interpret high quality images, which is difficult to find in developing countries. This is a major challenge, especially in price sensitive developing nations. Ongoing R&D activities to develop more portable, affordable and user-friendly 3D ultrasound systems offer lucrative opportunities for market players. Cloud-based technology for storing, sharing and remote collaboration of ultrasound images can also foster market growth.
