Ultrasound technique is widely used for diagnostic imaging procedure to visualize internal organs and body structures, such as lungs, kidney, liver, female reproductive system, vascular system, tendons, muscles, joints, etc. In ultrasound imaging technique (also called sonography), probe transmits high-frequency sound wave pulse to the tissues. Ultrasound is considered safe with no or very-low-risk and is widely used for disease diagnosis. Both internal and external probes need proper cleaning and disinfection to avoid infection or disease transmission. Ultrasound probe disinfection has become the standard practice among healthcare practitioners, owing to the risk of disease transmission and as a part of government guidelines compliance.

In order to give the users of this report a comprehensive view of the ultrasound probe disinfection market, we have included a competitive landscape and an analysis of Porter’s Five Forces Model for the market. The study encompasses a market attractiveness analysis, wherein product type, disinfection process, probe type, and end-user segments are benchmarked based on their market size, growth rate, and general attractiveness.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Growth Analysis

Ultrasound imaging has a minimal or very-low-risk and is non-invasive, thus offers advantages over other imaging procedures, such as X-ray imaging, MRI, etc. The demand for minimally invasive imaging procedures is growing worldwide, owing to the preference for minimally invasive imaging procedure among the patients. Thus, a surge in the ultrasound imaging examinations is observed and is likely to continue in the upcoming years. Increasing number of ultrasound imaging examinations, in turn, is projected to drive the ultrasound probe disinfection market. Other factors contributing toward this market’s growth include increasing hospital-acquired infections (HAI), growing need for better hygiene practice in developed countries as a part of government guidelines, rising acceptance of automated disinfection systems. Although automated disinfection systems are widely adopted, high costs might hinder this market’s growth. Additionally, the reluctance to shift to automated disinfection systems from the manual systems might act as another restraint for this market. The surge in the birth rate, owing to better healthcare facilities may act as an opportunity for the ultrasound probe disinfection market.
