Global Portable Ultrasound Market to Surge at a CAGR of Around 4.6% to Reach USD7.4 Billion by 2030

The Global Portable Ultrasound Market size was valued at around USD 5.66 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 7.4 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 4.6% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report.

This market is experiencing significant growth, affiliated with various factors. The increasing incidences of chronic diseases around the globe are among the main factors driving the growth of this market. This has increased the market demand due to the need for non-invasive monitoring of these diseases.  The rising demand for point-of-care diagnostics is further boosting the market demand. This will enable real-time imaging in emergency care, ICUs, and remote healthcare. It is critical in rural and home healthcare settings, where conventional imaging equipment may be inaccessible. The shift towards personalized & home care for elderly and chronically ill patients is leading to the increasing demand for these devices. They increase the convenience of performing easy diagnostics away from hospitals with lesser healthcare costs. AI-oriented ultrasound imaging with wireless connectivity, 3D & 4D ultrasounds, and other technological advancements will open up new doors to development and diagnostic performance, thus enhancing operational efficiency.

Several trends & opportunities are influencing the market dynamics towards development. One of the major market trends is wireless connectivity & miniaturization, which enhanced integration with smart devices & portability, making ultrasound imaging more accessible. Portable ultrasound devices are increasingly becoming popular in various healthcare settings and cloud-sharing. This creates demand by improving remote consultations. Besides traditional healthcare, the market scope is also expanding with applications in veterinary care, sports medicine, and the military. Expanding markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America, and Africa are offering sizeable opportunities with growing healthcare expenditures and requirements for affordable diagnosis. Growth of both government and private sector funding for healthcare is accelerating the demand even further.

However, a few challenges are impeding the market growth. Despite advances in technology, these devices remain highly expensive and inaccessible for low-income regions and smaller healthcare facilities. While portable ultrasound equipment is easy to use, accurate diagnosis still depends on trained professionals. However, in certain regions, the limited availability of trained ultrasound operators restricts market growth. Some of these devices may yield images of lower quality when compared to traditional high-end ultrasound machines, raising questions regarding diagnostic accuracy and reliability. This further poses a challenge for market growth. Moreover, the integration of ultrasound imaging with cloud platforms and mobile applications causes trouble due to data security and patient privacy, leading to cybersecurity problems for both suppliers and healthcare providers, further states the research report, “Global Portable Ultrasound Market Analysis, 2025.”
