What is unique about the ultrasound market?

Healthcare market dynamics include a push towards more real-time information, cost containment and noninvasive procedures. An aging population and greater global demand for healthcare underscore this. Ultrasound provides real-time information, is non-ionizing and is highly reimbursable, positioning it favorably over other modalities to take advantage of these market trends in the healthcare space. Growth in the Ultrasound market will come from the demand for images that provide diagnostic confidence, reliable measurements and faster workflow.

Ultrasound can be deployed in a number of settings from small hospitals to large research facilities and from urban clinics to remote rural villages. Clinical applications include cardiology, radiology, OB/GYN, breast care and more. Ultrasound is an opportunity for you to provide your healthcare customers with cutting edge imaging technology at a price point that makes sense for their size and clinical use.

The specialty segments with growth rates in excess of 15% per annum include:

Anesthesiology
Musculoskeletal (MSK)
Critical Care
Emergency Care

The overall Ultrasound market exceeds € 3B. Mid-range systems represent approximately 60% of this total.
