Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Expanding geriatric population, technological advancements in point-of-care ultrasound devices, and mounting healthcare expenditure is the primary growth drivers for the point-of-care ultrasound device market. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally in 2010 approximately 524 million people were aged 65 years and older and is expected to reach 1.5 billion in 2050.
The mounting occurrence of chronic diseases, refining healthcare infrastructure in developing countries, and escalating alertness about the advantages of portable ultrasound devices are also facilitating the growth of the point-of-care ultrasound device market. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 370,000 people die annually due to coronary heart disease in the U.S. It is the most common type of heart disease in the U.S. In addition, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) globally approximately 17.7 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2015
Rising Incidence of Chronic Diseases: The prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, respiratory conditions, and musculoskeletal disorders, is increasing globally. POCUS devices aid in the rapid diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions, driving their demand.
Growing Emphasis on Point-of-Care Diagnostics: Point-of-care testing and diagnostics are becoming essential in healthcare settings, as they enable prompt decision-making and reduce the need for time-consuming laboratory tests. POCUS devices offer immediate imaging and diagnostic capabilities, contributing to their rising adoption.
Technological Advancements: POCUS devices have witnessed significant technological advancements, such as improved image quality, wireless connectivity, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. These advancements enhance the accuracy and efficiency of POCUS devices, further driving market growth.
Increasing Focus on Telemedicine: The rise of telemedicine and remote patient monitoring has created a need for portable and easy-to-use diagnostic tools. POCUS devices, with their compact size and wireless capabilities, are well-suited for telemedicine applications, fueling their demand.
Cost-effectiveness and Efficiency: POCUS devices offer cost-effective imaging solutions compared to traditional ultrasound machines. They eliminate the need for patient transfers to dedicated imaging departments, reducing costs and improving efficiency in healthcare settings.
Challenges
Strict regulatory norms and a lack of skilled professionals are the major challenges to the growth of the point-of-care ultrasound device market.POCUS devices can be expensive, and the initial investment cost can be a barrier for healthcare providers, especially in resource-constrained settings. The high cost of devices, along with additional expenses for training, maintenance, and software upgrades, can limit their widespread adoption.
POCUS devices need to be user-friendly and ergonomically designed to facilitate ease of use at the point of care. Issues such as complex user interfaces, limited battery life, and suboptimal device ergonomics can affect user experience and hinder the seamless integration of POCUS into clinical practice. Maintaining consistent quality and performance standards across different POCUS devices is crucial. Establishing standardized protocols, quality assurance programs, and proficiency testing can help ensure reliable and accurate imaging results. However, the lack of universally accepted standards and guidelines can pose challenges in this regard.
Industry Ecosystem
Globally, manufacturing companies trying to enter the point-of-care ultrasound device market are required to maintain stringent regulatory standards. Moreover, the high level of capital requirement also poses a major barrier to the entry of new players. This offers an edge to the established players in the industry competition.
