攜帶式超音波機是移動式超音波系統,設計用於患者床邊的狹小空間,可以是推車式、平板式或手提式。攜帶式超音波是一種醫療超音波檢查方式,與先前的控制台式超音波機器相比,它使用小而輕的設備。
攜帶式超音波使用高頻聲波創建內臟或其他軟組織(例如血管)的即時圖片或影片。這些影像可用於診斷體內疼痛、腫脹和感染、指導活體組織切片、檢查心臟以及評估懷孕期間胎兒的健康狀況。
此外,技術進步、產品推出和投資增加等重要的成長動力將推動未來市場的成長。 GE醫療保健技術有限公司、CHISON醫療技術有限公司、Koninklijke Philips NV、邁瑞醫療國際有限公司等重要參與者都在市場上積極運作。
超音波探頭(稱為換能器)用於產生頻率高於人類聽覺閾值的聲波。大公司推出的產品有助於推動市場成長,而這些有效的研發有助於新診斷和治療的產品推出。
例如,2023 年 7 月,柯尼卡美能達醫療保健美洲公司推出了 PocketPro H2,這是一款新型無線手持式超音波設備,用於照護端應用中的一般成像。新型 PocketPro H2 線性無線手持式超音波系統針對肌肉骨骼 (MSK)、疼痛管理、血管通路和針頭引導應用進行了最佳化。
此外,2022年1月,EagleView Ultrasound推出了名為EagleView雙頭超音波的無線攜帶式超音波設備。它是一種連接到平板電腦或手機的無線超音波探頭。它透過全身影像技術提供高品質的 POCUS(照護端超音波)。因此,由於上述因素,預計市場在預測期內將會提振。
診斷超音波被用作一種對體內進行成像的非侵入性診斷技術。主要公司的主要投資有助於推動市場成長。這些來自國家組織和公司的有效資金有助於將研究發現轉化為慢性病的新診斷和治療方法。
例如,2023 年7 月,醫療器材公司PIUR IMAGING 獲得了490 萬歐元的A 輪融資,以擴展其人工智慧驅動的斷層掃描3D 超音波系統,該公司透過人工智慧驅動的斷層掃描3D 超音波解決方案獲得負擔得起的高品質醫療保健稱為 PIUR tUS Infinity。
此外,2021 年 7 月,Exo Imaging 獲得了 2 億美元的 C 輪融資,旨在將其手持式超音波設備和名為 Exo Works 的照護端工作流程平台商業化。新資金也為這家總部位於加州雷德伍德城的公司提供了超過 3.2 億美元的總投資。
攜帶式超音波設備的高價格預計將阻礙市場擴張,且中低收入群體無法負擔。例如,根據 Standard Ultrasound 的說法,一台基本的攜帶式超音波機器的價格從 10,000 美元到 50,000 美元不等。中級超音波機的價格可能在 50,000 美元到 100,000 美元之間,而高階機器的價格可能高達 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.
