These devices offer features like real-time imaging, Doppler capabilities, and compatibility with mobile devices, enhancing their versatility and usability.

The portable ultrasound market serves a wide range of applications across various medical specialties, including cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, musculoskeletal imaging, emergency medicine, critical care, and primary care. It caters to hospitals, clinics, ambulatory care centers, and other healthcare facilities

MARKET DYNAMICS

DRIVERS:

  • Increasing product launches is also a positive aspect of this market growth.

  • Increased use of these technologies in emergency departments will boost the global market.

The widespread use of these imaging systems in emergency treatment is one of the primary reasons driving the worldwide market's growth. For many patients who require immediate medical attention, emergency departments are the initial point of contact. The speed with which patients are cared for is determined by a variety of circumstances, including the technology and medical equipment available in the emergency department.

RESTRAIN:

  • Portable Ultrasound devices are costly as compare to traditional devices in the market.

  • Concerns about regulatory changes, along with limited reimbursement, will stifle market growth.

The restricted reimbursement for medical imaging is one of the key factors predicted to hinder the worldwide market's growth during the projected period. For example, payment for portable ultrasound operations is only available if the usage fulfills all of the payer's standards.

OPPORTUNITY:

  • Portable ultrasound devices are increasingly being utilized in various medical specialties beyond the traditional domains of radiology and obstetrics.

  • Telemedicine and remote monitoring are becoming increasingly popular.

Growing features such as remote cooperation, effective patient triaging, and expert consultations are driving the portable ultrasound market forward. The growing use of telemedicine and remote monitoring has enabled healthcare personnel to examine and monitor patients from a distance.

CHALLENGES:

  • Skilled operators are required to obtain accurate and dependable ultrasound pictures.

  • End-user interest in reconditioned equipment is growing. Due to this, this market will benefit more.

The urge for remanufactured ultrasound equipment arose as a result of the high cost of novel ultrasound technologies (such as focused ultrasound) and the financial constraints faced by small-sized healthcare institutions. In North America, for example, a conventional 3D/4D ultrasound system costs USD 20,500-75,500, but a reconditioned 30/4D ultrasound system costs USD 5,500-40,500. As a result, the increased desire for reconditioned systems is expected to offer a significant obstacle to market growth.

IMPACT OF RUSSIAN UKRAINE WAR

Most medical equipment is imported from the United States and Europe, the Russo-Ukrainian War will have a detrimental influence on Russia's Medical equipment business. There is also a social consequence associated with the financial choice to stop doing business with Russia.

The International Trade Administration, which is part of the United States Department of Commerce, predicted that the Russian medical device industry had been worth $ 8 billion in 2023. According to the survey, portable ultrasound accounts for around 20% of the market, while consumables account for 15% and orthopedic and prosthetics account for little more than 9%. But due to the war, the market share of portable ultrasound has come down from 20 % to 18 %.

IMPACT OF ONGOING RECESSION

Many factors, some of which are unknown, can influence the efficacy and expense of healthcare during the recession. Financial incentives for a medical practitioner, hospital, or other healthcare organization may meet or clash with the patient's need for healthcare.

During a recession, people are more inclined to postpone non-urgent medical care. This has a negative impact on the healthcare sector's revenue. Healthcare providers are facing further financial difficulties as the number of consumers who do not pay medical bills for services rendered has climbed. This compels the healthcare provider to either write off the sum or include it in the outstanding payments. Donations from charities and support from government agencies at the local, state, and federal levels may also fall, putting hospitals and smaller healthcare providers at risk.

According to statistical statistics, a typical hospital with 250-300 beds had a $ 3-3.53 million decrease in medical billing during the recession between 2009 and 2011. This was mostly due to the fact that patients who would otherwise have utilized commercial insurance were either jobless or underemployed.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
