The global contrast enhanced ultrasound market size was valued at USD 1.95 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 2.82 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period, 2023-2031.
Factors such as introduction of cost-effective contrast agents, increasing demand for contrast imaging modes in ultrasound systems, and increasing ultrasound procedure volume for diagnosis of various diseases is anticipated to boost the market.
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is defined as a technique that employs specialized imaging techniques and microbubble contrast agents. The technique is used to represent information regarding tissue perfusion and blood flow.
CEUS is safe and is performed easily. The technique does not require ionizing radiation and has no risk of nephrotoxicity. Contrast enhanced ultrasound is abbreviated as CEUS. CEUS is more radiation-free, cost-efficient, and patient-friendly as compared to other technologies. These factors are expected to propel the market.
Contrast enhanced ultrasound is employed, due to the advantages offered such as early diagnosis of COVID-19-related pneumonia. Rapid rise in the number of ultrasonography procedures related to lungs is expected to boost the demand for this process, which in turn, is projected to drive the market. Moreover, the rising incidence of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular diseases is estimated to boost the demand for contrast enhanced ultrasound in the near future.
The emergence of COVID-19 has positively affected the market, owing to the involvement of contrast enhanced ultrasound in one of the preferred grading systems for assessment of lung deterioration in COVID-19 patients. CEUS aids in identification of lung damage during the asymptomatic phase of the COVID-19.
Moreover, it is used as a bedside imaging tool to measure perfusion impairment in kidney, lung, and brain of pediatric COVID-19 patients. Considerable number of studies to detect the presence of microthrombi in COVID-19 patients is anticipated to increase the applications of CEUS and boost the usage of these devices in the near future.
