According to FutureWise analysis the market for Handheld Ultrasound Scanners in 2023 is US$ 0.59 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 1.05 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 7.50%.
Handheld ultrasound machines are smaller and lighter than console-style ultrasound machines. They are medical imaging devices that use ultrasound for diagnostic purposes. For the most part, these portable ultrasound units can be powered solely by batteries for a short period of time. A handheld transducer is applied to the skin; the transducer sends out ultrasound waves and receives echoes back. The ultrasound machine uses the speed of sound and the time it takes for each echo to return to the transducer to generate an image of the area being examined. Handheld ultrasounds are painless, non-invasive, and don’t involve ionizing radiation.
During difficult medical operations like abdominal and cardiac surgeries, handheld ultrasound devices can be easily moved from one location to another because they are smaller than cart-based ultrasound systems. When employed in Point-of-Care (PoC) settings, these devices make imaging possible for patients experiencing severe injury or stomach pain due to gallbladder obstruction or gallstones. Due to the quick adoption of handheld ultrasonography, diagnostic imaging tests are seeing great demand as a way to examine data right away without sacrificing accuracy. Moreover, diagnostic imaging uses radiography, ultrasonography, and fluoroscopy to produce immediate visual depictions of a body's interior. By providing precise diagnostic imaging results, these visual representations assist in support of numerous chronic conditions.
Doctors can make images of a patient's internal organs using ultrasound equipment to diagnose a condition. Throughout an operation, these tools let surgeons control the movement of surgical instruments. The imaging of a patient's abdominal pain brought on by gallstones or a blocked gallbladder is made possible in point-of-care settings by handheld scanners. These tools also help patients with severe damage and direct a needle for a biopsy or tumour procedure to look at a breast lump. Hence, widespread adoption of these tools will boost global sales of handheld ultrasound scanners. Also, due to the healthcare sector's rapid modernisation and large investments in research and development (R&D) operations, non-radiologists are increasingly employing handheld ultrasound scanners frequently. The global handheld device market is anticipated to rise as a result of a wide range of factors, including the rising prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases, the increased usage of ultrasound portable devices, and technical advancements. A portable ultrasound bladder scanner's limited accuracy makes it difficult to monitor larger bladder volumes, which is expected to limit market growth. Needle insertion into interior body parts is assisted by ultrasound scanners. The possibility of placing a needle in the incorrect location because of false detection raises the possibility of fatalities. Together, these restrictions may have an impact on the industry globally and will hinder growth throughout the forecast period. Also, the market for handheld ultrasound devices is expanding as more ailments include cancer, endocrine neurological disorders is increasing.
