The global point of care ultrasound systems market is projected to reach USD 7.36 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This growth is primarily driven by the increasing number of emergency visits to hospitals with undifferentiated signs and symptoms. Point of care ultrasound systems are becoming increasingly valuable in such settings due to their ability to quickly and effectively assess critical conditions, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment.

Point of care ultrasound devices are versatile, serving as therapeutic devices, diagnostic devices, and even guiding tools for medical procedures. These devices are widely used in various medical fields such as cardiology, musculoskeletal disorders, vascular surgery, and urology. The popularity of ultrasound devices in these point of care settings is rapidly growing due to several advantages, including low cost, broad application scope, and safety when compared to other imaging alternatives, such as X-rays or CT scans. This trend is expected to foster substantial growth in the market. Additionally, the integration of advanced technologies in ultrasound systems, which provide clearer images and more accurate diagnoses, is expected to significantly enhance the adoption of point of care ultrasound systems across multiple healthcare facilities.

In response to the growing demand, major market players are continuously introducing innovative technologies with integrated features to maintain their competitive edge and expand their market share. Moreover, the establishment of echocardiology societies and the development of government and non-government programs aimed at supporting the training, education, and research of point of care ultrasound systems are also expected to play a pivotal role in driving market growth throughout the forecast period.
