到 2030 年超音波导电凝胶市场预测:按产品、最终用户和地区分類的全球分析Ultrasound Conductivity Gel Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Non Sterile Gels, Sterile Gels and Other Products), End User and By Geography |
根据 Stratistics MRC 的数据,全球超音波传导凝胶市场在预测期内将以 6.7% 的复合年增长率成长。
超音波传导凝胶是一种水性物质,设计用于使用超音波技术进行医学影像处理。它充当将超音波探头的声波传输到体内的介质,确保内部结构的清晰可视化。它的配方具有高导电性,有利于超音波的有效传输,并提高诊断成像的品质和准确性。该凝胶具有低过敏性、不沾黏且易于清洗,适合患者使用。
影像诊断需求不断增加
超音波影像成像因其多功能性、安全性、成本效益和即时影像处理功能而成为首选方式。确保最佳的声音传输,减少影像扭曲的气穴,并提高超音波扫描的清晰度。因此,超音波成像的日益广泛使用将直接导致医院、诊所、诊断中心和其他医疗机构对超音波传导凝胶的需求增加,从而进一步推动该市场的发展。
製造成本高
凝胶配方和成分是导致高製造成本的两个因素。凝胶通常包装在无菌容器或管中,并附有产品资讯、使用说明和安全警告,这增加了製造成本。此外,研发投资、持续产品测试和临床评估等因素增加了超音波传导凝胶实施的总成本,并严重阻碍了市场扩张。
提高医疗保健意识和可近性
随着医疗保健意识的提高,人们越来越多地寻求预防性护理和医疗状况的早期诊断。超音波影像使用的增加将直接导致对超音波凝胶的需求增加,这对于获得清晰准确的超音波影像至关重要。此外,超音波影像是一种安全、非侵入性且广泛使用的诊断工具,因此成为常规医疗筛检和诊断程序的一个组成部分,逐渐推动了市场的成长。
对环境造成的影响
製造过程中的能源消耗和用水会导致温室气体排放,使当地水资源紧张,并导致污染和污染。处理用过的超音波传导凝胶也存在环境问题。此外,不当处置,例如丢弃到正常废弃物中,可能会导致凝胶进入水道和土壤,造成污染并损害水生生物和生态系统,从而阻碍市场规模。
COVID-19 的影响
COVID-19 大流行对超音波传导凝胶市场产生了一些负面影响。这场大流行导致非必要的医疗保健服务中断,包括超音波等选择性诊断程序。此外,国际贸易限制、边境关闭和封锁措施扰乱了全球医疗用品供应链,导致超音波凝胶产品短缺和供应延迟,阻碍了市场供应方。
预计无菌凝胶领域在预测期内将是最大的
无菌凝胶部分估计占据最大份额,因为某些类别的超音波凝胶经过灭菌过程以确保它们不含微生物并适合用于无菌医疗程序。这涉及伽马射线照射和环氧乙烷 (EtO) 灭菌等方法,这些方法可能会在超音波导引手术期间损害患者的安全。此外,这些凝胶通常用于关键的医疗环境,逐渐推动了这一领域的发展。
预计医院业在预测期内复合年增长率最高。
由于每天进行大量超音波手术,医院部门对超音波传导凝胶的需求很大,预计在预测期内复合年增长率最高。慢性病盛行率的增加和超音波影像技术的进步等因素导致医院对超音波凝胶的持续需求。此外,医院可能更愿意从提供稳定的产品品质和可靠的客户支援的值得信赖的供应商那里购买,以确保不间断的工作流程和患者照护,这导致了我们正在推广的这一细分市场的增长。
由于先进的医疗基础设施和强有力的法律规范,欧洲在预测期内占据了最大的市场占有率。该地区的主要企业包括 Parker Laboratories, Inc.、Medline Industries, Inc. 和 Eco-Med Diagnostic Imaging, Inc.。此外,超音波影像成像设备的技术进步提高了诊断程序的准确性和效率,进一步刺激了该地区对高品质超音波凝胶的需求。
由于人口基数大和中阶不断壮大,人口红利显着,预计亚太地区在预测期内将呈现最高的复合年增长率。中国、印度、日本、韩国和东南亚国家等国家对诊断影像(包括超音波检查)的需求正在增加。此外,政府的计划和计划正在促进亚太地区超音波传导凝胶市场的成长。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ultrasound Conductivity Gel Market is growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. Ultrasound conductivity gel is a water-based substance designed for medical imaging procedures employing ultrasound technology. It serves as a medium to transmit sound waves from the ultrasound probe into the body, ensuring clear visualization of internal structures. Formulated to possess high conductivity, it facilitates efficient transmission of ultrasound waves, enhancing imaging quality and accuracy. This gel is hypoallergenic, non-greasy, and easily washable, making it suitable for patient use
Rising demand for diagnostic imaging
Ultrasound imaging stands out as a preferred modality due to its versatility, safety, cost-effectiveness, and real-time imaging capabilities. It ensures optimal acoustic transmission, reduces air pockets that can distort images, and enhances the clarity of ultrasound scans. Therefore, the expanding utilization of ultrasound imaging translates directly into higher demand for ultrasound conductivity gel across hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and other healthcare facilities, thereby propelling this market further.
High production costs
The formulation and composition of the gel are two of the factors contributing to high production costs. The gel is typically packaged in sterile containers or tubes with product information, instructions for use, and safety warnings, leading to increased production costs. Furthermore, factors such as research and development investments, ongoing product testing, and clinical evaluations can increase the overall cost of introducing ultrasound conductivity gel, significantly impeding market expansion.
Growing awareness and accessibility of healthcare
As healthcare awareness increases, individuals are more likely to seek preventive care and early diagnosis of medical conditions. This increased utilization of ultrasound imaging translates directly into a higher demand for ultrasound gel, as it is essential for achieving clear and accurate ultrasound images. Moreover, ultrasound imaging, being a safe, non-invasive, and widely accessible diagnostic tool, becomes an integral part of routine healthcare screenings and diagnostic procedures, which gradually boosts market growth.
Environmental affects
The energy consumption and water usage during production can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and strain local water resources, potentially leading to pollution and contamination. The disposal of used ultrasound conductivity gel also presents environmental challenges. Additionally, improper disposal, such as disposal in regular waste streams, can result in the gel entering waterways or soil, causing pollution and potentially harming aquatic life and ecosystems, thereby hindering the market size.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has had several negative impacts on the ultrasound conductivity gel market. The pandemic led to disruptions in non-essential healthcare services, including elective diagnostic procedures such as ultrasound examinations. Further, restrictions on international trade, border closures, and lockdown measures disrupted the global supply chain for medical supplies, leading to shortages and delays in the availability of ultrasound gel products, hampering the market's supply side.
The sterile gels segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The sterile gels segment is estimated to hold the largest share, due to a specific category of ultrasound gels that have undergone a sterilization process to ensure they are free from microorganisms and suitable for use in sterile medical procedures. This involves employing methods such as gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization that could compromise patient safety during ultrasound-guided procedures. Furthermore, these gels are typically utilized in critical medical environments which gradually drive this segment.
The hospitals segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The hospitals segment is anticipated to have highest CAGR during the forecast period due to their demand for ultrasound conductivity gel in significant quantities due to the high volume of ultrasound procedures performed daily. Factors such as the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and technological advancements in ultrasound imaging contribute to the sustained demand for ultrasound gel in hospitals. Additionally, hospitals may prefer purchasing from reputable suppliers that provide consistent product quality and reliable customer support to ensure uninterrupted workflow and patient care, which is driving this segment's growth.
Europe commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to advanced medical infrastructure and robust regulatory frameworks. This region is home to some of the major key players, such as Parker Laboratories, Inc., Medline Industries, Inc., and Eco-Med Diagnostic Imaging, Inc.
