GCC 3D and 4D Ultrasound Device Market Driver:

Rising Adoption of Advanced Fetal Screening – GCC has witnessed a continuous rise in the number of pregnant women in recent years. For instance, as per ART Fertility (2023), the total pregnancy rate in the region was about 70%, which is continuously improving due to advanced fertility technologies, which is further creating the demand for prenatal screening and contributing to the 3D and 4D Ultrasound Device Market in GCC. Additionally, the rapidly increasing genetic disorders are increasing the demand for fetal screening in GCC. It is because of the Consanguineous marriages in the region due to the cultural norms.

According to the National Library of Medicine (2022), the cousin-marriage rate in the GCC is more than 50%, which makes more than half the region's population vulnerable to genetic disorders. Thus, this region's demand for advanced imaging techniques involving 3D and 4D ultrasound devices is increasing.

GCC 3D and 4D Ultrasound Device Market Opportunity:

Government Encouragement for Mass Screening & Regular Health Check-Ups – The governments of different countries, such as the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, etc., are drafting policies to motivate individuals to regular full-body check-ups, creating opportunities for the market’s growth. Vision 2030, the National Program for Chronic Disease Control, and public awareness campaigns such as Know Your Numbers in Saudi Arabia are focused on healthcare awareness and early detection of diseases. It is increasing the demand for advanced imaging technologies, including 3D and 4D ultrasound devices in the country.

Additionally, the UAE has launched new initiatives for cardiovascular screening and early detection of hypertension. The Ministry of Health and Prevention (2023) has launched an initiative called Your Pulse which has already reached above 75% of the total targeted population in the country. Moreover, the Hypertension Campaign has provided screening to over 14,00,000 individuals in the country, which is further projected to increase its rate, thus contributing to the market growth.

GCC 3D and 4D Ultrasound Device Market Challenge:

High Initial & Operational Costs Hindering Market Growth – The 3D and 4D Ultrasound Device Industry is facing a high-cost challenge in this region. It results in low affordability rates for smaller hospitals and clinics with limited budgets. On average, these devices cost more than USD1,00,000 in the GCC countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Turkey, etc. Additionally, the budget-conscious diagnostic centers and clinics in rural areas in the GCC have limited accessibility and affordability to utilize advanced imaging medical devices, including 3D and 4D ultrasound devices.  

Moreover, there is a requirement for highly skilled labor which adds to the cost of training of professionals to handle these devices. Also, the cost of maintenance including, refurbishment of machinery parts, software upgradation, etc. are hindering the market growth.

GCC 3D and 4D Ultrasound Device Market Trend:

Integration of Artificial Intelligence in 3D & 4D Ultrasound Devices – The market is gaining traction due to the incorporation of the latest innovations, such as AI in medical devices. The integration enhances the efficiency and increases the automation of such devices, which is ultimately cost-effective, thus contributing to the market’s growth. Some of the major companies, such as GE Healthcare in Saudi Arabia, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Esaote, etc., have recently launched integrated AI-3D and 4D ultrasound devices in the region for advanced medical imaging.

For instance, GE Healthcare (2024), has recently launched Voluson Signature 20 and 18 ultrasound systems which are in collaboration with Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, in 2021, the Saudi Arabia medical firm Abdul Latif Jameel Health unveiled the world’s first handheld ultrasound device integrated with AI called Butterfly IQ+ for complete body check-up, thus contributing to the market’s growth.
