The global market for disinfecting ultrasound probes is poised to experience significant growth, with a projected value of USD 936 million by 2027, up from USD 501 million in 2022, representing a robust CAGR of 13.3%
This comprehensive report delves into the ultrasound probe disinfection market, aiming to assess its size and future growth potential by examining various segments, including product types, processes, probe types, end users, and regions. Additionally, the report offers a product portfolio matrix showcasing the variety of ultrasound probe disinfectants available. A competitive analysis of key market players is also included, complete with their company profiles, product offerings, and key strategies.
The market’s expansion is primarily driven by the rising incidence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), attributed to inadequate reprocessing of ultrasound probes, along with stringent government regulations and guidelines in developed markets. Nonetheless, the market faces growth constraints due to the reluctance to transition from manual disinfection methods to automated probe reprocessing.
Within this market landscape, consumables emerge as a pivotal segment, benefiting from the growing demand for high-level disinfectants for critical and semi-critical ultrasound probes. They also require relatively modest capital investment for adoption in healthcare and diagnostic centers. Furthermore, the high-level disinfection process segment continues to dominate, aligning with the increasing regulatory standards and the demand for automated disinfection systems.
North America is anticipated to seize the largest share of the ultrasound probe disinfection market in 2022. Factors driving this regional dominance include the presence of major market players, rising healthcare expenditures, and a well-established regulatory framework.
Key players in the ultrasound probe disinfection market comprise Nanosonics, Tristel plc, STERIS plc, Ecolab, Advanced Sterilization Products, Metrex Research, LLC., CIVCO Medical Solutions, CS Medical LLC, Virox, Germitec, Schulke & Mayr GmbH, and Parker Laboratories, Inc. Stay informed about this dynamic market’s developments and opportunities.
