The global ultrasound probe disinfection market size was valued at USD 499.7 Million in 2022 and is estimated to reach USD 1477.4 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 12.80% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. Rising number of hospital-associated infections (HAIs) and the increasing number of ultrasound procedures are propelling the market.

An ultrasound probe is a device used to view the internal organs of the body with the help of sound waves. Ultrasound probes are accessible in different shapes and sizes for use in the body organs and are prone to bacterial infection, as they are kept in open surroundings. Disinfection of ultrasound probes is a standard process by manually making them wet in a hygienic solution.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Outlook

Ultrasound probes are used in high-level disinfection procedures. Ultrasound probe disinfection guidelines and patient care sterilization tools are continuously upgraded with technological advancement. High level disinfection of ultrasound probes is conducted through technological solutions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive effect on the ultrasound probe disinfection market, owing to the rising demand for medical supplies. Moreover, the immediate rise in the COVID-19 infection rate affected the market positively, as ultrasound probe disinfection systems prohibit the risk of infection among patients and doctors.

Rising number of COVID positive cases led to an increase in hospital supplies such as mask, gloves, and disinfecting equipment. Manufacturers of these supplies registered huge demand in their business during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Dynamics

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Dynamics

Major Drivers

Increasing number of old age people receiving special care is driving the market, as the elderly are highly prone to infections. Technological advancement, especially in the healthcare sector, for effective medication and security & safety of patients, is estimated to drive the market.

Existing Restraints

Hospitals in emerging countries cannot afford to buy automated probe reprocessors to conduct high level disinfection of ultrasound probes, due to their high cost. The estimated cost of a UV-C disinfector is USD 15,000 to USD 35,000, whereas an automated reprocessor costs around USD 10,000 to USD 15,000. The use of consumables and automated reprocessors is low in developing countries, owing to their high cost. Low awareness regarding disinfection and absence of rules and regulations for using disinfectants prior to the procedure are projected to hamper the market growth.

Emerging Opportunities

Rapidly growing number of pregnancies and childbirth around the world is estimated to create opportunities in the market. According to a report from the World Health Organization, countries such as India and China accounted for the highest number of preterm births with 20.0 Million and 12.0 Million births, respectively, in 2020. High requirement for ultrasound procedures during pregnancy is creating opportunities in the ultrasound probe disinfection market in the forecast period.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Segment Insights

Probe Type Segment Analysis

Based on probe type, the ultrasound probe disinfection market is divided into convex transducer, linear, and TEE. The convex transducer segment accounts for a key share of the market during the forecast period. Convex transducers are used for abdominal diagnosis, obstetrics diagnosis, and vascular and nerve diagnosis. It has a curved shape, allowing a broad view of the place to be scanned.

Convex transducers need appropriate storage and proper disinfection. Linear probes are extremely precise and safe. They offer high-quality imaging results and are known as vascular probes. These probes help in saving time, owing to easy usage and low maintenance.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Probe Type

Product Segment Analysis

In terms of product, the ultrasound probe disinfection market is divided into consumable and instrument. The instrument segment is expected to hold a key share of the market in the coming years. Instruments used in ultrasound probe disinfection systems are priced more than consumables. Transducer storage cabinets, UV-C disinfectors, and manual and automated reprocessors are some instruments used in ultrasound procedures.

Process Segment Analysis

On the basis of process, the market is divided into high-level and low-level. The high-level segment accounts for a key share of the market, as it is an essential part of ultrasound procedures. High-level disinfection (HLD) removes microorganisms from hospital instruments. High level disinfection of ultrasound probes needs strong chemical materials, thus, it is essential to perform proper disinfection of probes to avoid unwanted repercussions.

End-user Segment Analysis

Based on end-user, the market is segmented into clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and hospitals. The hospital segment is anticipated to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period.

Demand for ultrasound procedures in hospitals is driving the segment. Ultrasound devices are used for medical imaging and allow doctors to see problems related to organs and vessels without making a cut. Moreover, proper disinfection of the transducer is essential after every imaging procedure. Therefore, the hospital staff needs to conduct proper disinfection of the transducers, which propels the disinfection of ultrasound probes.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market End User

Regional Analysis

In terms of region, the global market is fragmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period, owing to the highly-established medical infrastructure and the existence of large market players.

Increasing demand for high-level disinfectants and the rising number of abdominal, transrectal, and transvaginal procedures are fueling the market in the region. Moreover, the demand for automated probe reprocessors is rising to reduce the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections (HAI).
