便携式超音波机是移动式超音波系统,设计用于患者床边的狭小空间,可以是推车式、平板式或手提式。便携式超音波是一种医疗超音波检查方式,与先前的控制台式超音波机器相比,它使用小而轻的设备。
便携式超音波使用高频声波创建内臟或其他软组织(例如血管)的即时图片或影片。这些影像可用于诊断体内疼痛、肿胀和感染、指导活检、检查心臟以及评估怀孕期间胎儿的健康状况。
此外,技术进步、产品推出和投资增加等重要的成长动力将推动未来市场的成长。 GE医疗保健技术有限公司、CHISON医疗技术有限公司、Koninklijke Philips NV、迈瑞医疗国际有限公司等重要参与者都在市场上积极运作。
超音波探头(称为换能器)用于产生频率高于人类听觉阈值的声波。大公司推出的产品有助于推动市场成长,而这些有效的研发有助于新诊断和治疗的产品推出。
例如,2023 年 7 月,柯尼卡美能达医疗保健美洲公司推出了 PocketPro H2,这是一款新型无线手持式超音波设备,用于护理点应用中的一般成像。新型 PocketPro H2 线性无线手持式超音波系统针对肌肉骨骼 (MSK)、疼痛管理、血管通路和针头引导应用进行了最佳化。
此外,2022年1月,EagleView Ultrasound推出了名为EagleView双头超音波的无线便携式超音波设备。它是一种连接到平板电脑或手机的无线超音波探头。它透过全身影像技术提供高品质的 POCUS(护理点超音波)。因此,由于上述因素,预计市场在预测期内将会提振。
诊断超音波被用作一种对体内进行成像的非侵入性诊断技术。主要公司的主要投资有助于推动市场成长。这些来自国家组织和公司的有效资金有助于将研究发现转化为慢性病的新诊断和治疗方法。
例如,2023 年7 月,医疗器材公司PIUR IMAGING 获得了490 万欧元的A 轮融资,以扩展其人工智慧驱动的断层扫描3D 超音波系统,该公司透过人工智慧驱动的断层扫描3D 超音波解决方案获得负担得起的高品质医疗保健称为 PIUR tUS Infinity。
此外,2021 年 7 月,Exo Imaging 获得了 2 亿美元的 C 轮融资,旨在将其手持式超音波设备和名为 Exo Works 的护理点工作流程平台商业化。新资金也为这家总部位于加州雷德伍德城的公司提供了超过 3.2 亿美元的总投资。
便携式超音波设备的高价格预计将阻碍市场扩张,且中低收入群体无法负担。例如,根据 Standard Ultrasound 的说法,一台基本的便携式超音波机器的价格从 10,000 美元到 50,000 美元不等。中级超音波机的价格可能在 50,000 美元到 100,000 美元之间,而高阶机器的价格可能高达 200,000 美元以上。
Portable ultrasound machines are mobile ultrasound systems that are designed to be used in small spaces at a patient's bedside, and these can be cart-based, tablet-based, or hand-carried. Portable ultrasound is a modality of medical ultrasonography that utilizes small and light devices compared to the console-style ultrasound machines that preceded them.
Portable ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time pictures or videos of internal organs or other soft tissues, such as blood vessels. These images are useful in diagnosing pain, swelling, and infection within the body, guiding biopsies, examining the heart, and assessing the health of a fetus during pregnancy.
Furthermore, significant growth drivers such as increasing technological advancements, product launches, and rising investments give rise to future market growth. Significant key players like GE Healthcare Technologies Inc., CHISON Medical Technologies Co. Ltd, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Mindray Medical International Limited, and others are actively operating in the market.
Ultrasound probes, called transducers are used to produce sound waves that have frequencies above the threshold of human hearing. The product launches by major companies help to drive market growth and these effective research and developments help in product launches for new diagnoses, and treatments.
For instance, in July 2023, Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc., launched the PocketPro H2, a new wireless handheld ultrasound device for general imaging in point-of-care applications. The new PocketPro H2 linear wireless handheld ultrasound system is optimized for musculoskeletal (MSK), pain management, vascular access, and needle guidance applications.
Additionally, in January 2022, EagleView Ultrasound launched its wireless portable ultrasound device called EagleView dual-head ultrasound. It is a wireless ultrasound probe that connects to a tablet or phone. It gives high-quality POCUS (point-of-care ultrasound) with whole-body imaging technology. Hence, due to the above factors, the market is expected to boost over the forecast period.
Diagnostic ultrasound is used as a non-invasive diagnostic technique to image inside the body. The major investments from key companies help drive market growth. These effective funds from national organizations and companies help transform research discoveries into new diagnoses and treatments for chronic diseases.
For instance, in July 2023, PIUR IMAGING, a medical device company that enables access to affordable high-quality healthcare through AI-driven tomographic 3D ultrasound solutions, secured €4.9 Million Series A funding round to expand its AI-driven tomographic 3D ultrasound system called PIUR tUS Infinity.
Additionally, in July 2021, Exo Imaging secured $200M in Series C financing aimed at commercializing its handheld ultrasound device and point-of-care workflow platform called Exo Works. The new funding also gives the Redwood City, California-based company over $320 million in total investments.
The high price of portable ultrasound is anticipated to hamper the market expansion and cannot be afforded by middle and lower-income groups. For instance, according to Standard Ultrasound, a basic, portable ultrasound machine can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000. A mid-level ultrasound machine may cost between $50,000 and $100,000, while a high-end machine may cost upwards of $200,000.
The global portable ultrasound market is segmented based on device type, application, end users, and region.
A handheld ultrasound system enables the flexible performance of whole-body scanning and delivers crystal-clear images. Handheld ultrasound devices are expected to hold the largest market share over the period forecast owing to increasing product launches.
For instance, in August 2023, GE Healthcare launched its Vscan Air SL handheld wireless ultrasound imaging system designed for use in rapid cardiac and vascular assessments to accelerate diagnoses and treatment decisions. The device features the company's proprietary SignalMax and XDclear imaging performance technology which enables high levels of penetration, resolution, and sensitivity with a single crystal transducer technology.
Additionally, in October 2022, Osang Healthcare Co., Ltd., a company specializing in in-vitro diagnostics, developed a 1MHz ultrasound portable device called PUM that is used for physical therapy. PUM is effective in relieving pain and relaxing muscles in topical areas such as the neck, shoulder, and knee through 1MHz ultrasound and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), which vibrates a million times per second.
North America has maintained a significant proportion of the portable ultrasound market in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in the United States, there is a growing need for portable ultrasound machines to diagnose abnormalities in heart function. These machines have become increasingly popular in cardiology centers as they provide significant value to the practice. Cardiologists can use portable ultrasound machines to diagnose a variety of conditions, including heart defects, valve issues, and damage from heart attacks, among others.
For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. About 695,000 people in the United States died from heart disease in 2021 this is 1 in every 5 deaths.
Hence, the above factors help to accelerate the region's growth.
The major global players in the market include: GE Healthcare Technologies Inc., CHISON Medical Technologies Co. Ltd, Koninklijke Philips N.V, Mindray Medical International Limited, Hitachi Ltd., Samsung Healthcare, FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., Siemens Healthcare Private Ltd., BenQ Medical Technology, Fukuda Denshi UK Ltd. among others.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global portable ultrasound market. The onset of the pandemic in early 2020 led to widespread lockdowns and restrictions, impacting regular check-ups, appointments, device launches, and consultations worldwide. Many hospitals are focused on COVID-19 cases, and this reduces the diagnosis of many patients suffering from various chronic diseases.
Moreover, the focus of research and development efforts shifted during the pandemic, with a significant emphasis on developing vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. Therefore, owing to the above factors, the portable ultrasound market is expected to be moderately affected over the forecast period.
The global portable ultrasound market report would provide approximately 69 tables, 70 figures, and 195 Pages.
