The Global Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Size is expected to reach USD 1785 Million by 2032, at a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period 2022 to 2032.

 

Market Overview

An ultrasound probe is a medical instrument that uses sound waves to image the interior organs of the body. Sound waves reverberate from interior organs as echoes, which are detected by the probe and transmitted to the computer. The pictures created by these echoes are referred to as sonograms. Ultrasound probes of various sizes and shapes are available for usage in human organs. Ultrasound probes are susceptible to bacterial infection since they are stored in an open environment without protection. Soaking probes in solutions for disinfection might be harmful to patients' health owing to contamination of the solution by the probe while soaking. High-level disinfection (HLD) is a new technique for cleaning ultrasonic probes. It is a simple, inexpensive, and rapid means of cleaning the ultrasound probe while protecting the patient and medical staff.

Driving Factors

Advances in diagnostic ultrasonic imaging methods have aided in diagnosis by providing timely clinical information. As a result of the ease of use of fast diagnostic data, total healthcare expenses have been reduced by replacing more expensive diagnostic examinations. A wide range of ultrasound imaging methods has significant potential prospects for the ultrasound probe disinfection industry. Another key reason contributing to the increased number of ultrasonic imaging operations conducted is the world's growing elderly population. Because the aged (65 and over) are more vulnerable to hospital-acquired infections and chronic illnesses including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other malignancies, the need for disease diagnostics and treatments is predicted to grow significantly. Furthermore, the increasing number of in-vitro fertilization procedures in some countries is predicted to fuel demand for ultrasound, which is expected to drive the expansion of the ultrasound probe disinfection market. Furthermore, 3D/4D ultrasound is increasingly being advocated for breast cancer screening since it allows for greater imaging of the coronal plane in densely tissued breasts.

 

Restraining Factors

The majority of hospitals in impoverished countries are unable to supply automated probe reprocessors for high-level disinfection (HLD) due to the high cost. UV-C disinfectors cost between USD 15,000 and USD 35,000, while automated reprocessors cost between USD 10,000 and USD 15,000. Because of the expensive cost of automated reprocessors and consumables such as wipes and liquids in underdeveloped nations, they are not widely used. In underdeveloped nations, radiologists believe that employing these consumables raises the cost of imaging facilities, hence they opt for lower-cost alternatives such as probe covers. The lack of stringent laws for the minimal knowledge of diseases caused by contaminated probes among radiologists and patients, as well as the use of disinfectants before operations, are also inhibiting the adoption of proper disinfection processes in developed nations such as China, Brazil, Mexico, and India.

 

Market Segmentation

• In 2022, the instruments segment is dominating the market with the largest market share during the forecast period.

Based on product, the global ultrasound probe disinfection market is segmented into instruments, consumables, & services. Throughout all segments, the instruments segment has the biggest revenue share over the predicted period due to the high cost of these devices in comparison to consumables and services. There are various types of ultrasound probe disinfection equipment on the market, including automatic reprocessors, UV-C disinfectors, manual reprocessors/soaking stations, and ultrasound probe storage cabinets.

 

The consumables category is expected to grow at the quickest rate over the projection period because these goods are disposable. The detergents employed in the disinfection process are both enzymatic and non-enzymatic. Consumables are further subdivided into disinfection wipes, liquids, and sprays based on formulation.

 

• In 2022, the linear segment is influencing the largest market share over the forecast period.

On the basis of probe type, the global ultrasound probe disinfection market is classified into linear, convex, & TEE (transesophageal echocardiography) transducers. Among these segments, the linear segment is dominating the market owing to the increased use of linear probes in vascular tests, breast and thyroid imaging, and intraoperative and laparoscopic operations.

 

• In 2022, the low-level disinfection segment is influencing the market with the largest market share revenue during the forecast period.

Based on the process, the global ultrasound probe disinfection market is segmented into high-level & low-level disinfection. Among these segments, the low-level disinfection segment has the biggest revenue share over the forecast period. As intermediate/low-level disinfection is the basic process that is performed as a normal practice in healthcare facilities, the sector is expected to maintain its dominant position during the forecast years.

 

The high-level disinfection procedure is expected to have the quickest CAGR throughout the projection period due to increased sanitation awareness. Moreover, the emergence of potentially lethal diseases in recent years has spurred scientists to create technologically improved disinfection processes to eliminate germs from medical instruments and devices.

 

• In 2022, the hospitals and clinics segment is dominating the largest market share during the forecast period.

On the basis of end users, the global ultrasound probe disinfection market is bifurcated into different segments such as hospitals and clinics, diagnostic imaging centers, & others. Among these segments, the hospitals and clinics segment is leading the market. This can be ascribed to an increase in diagnostic imaging and in-vitro fertilization techniques. Furthermore, growing investment in healthcare infrastructure by public and private organizations throughout the world is expected to drive category expansion.

 

Diagnostic imaging facilities are expected to rise significantly throughout the projected period due to an increase in breast cancer incidence and an increase in demand for diagnostic imaging techniques. Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women, according to the World Cancer Research Fund International.
