The report analyses the Ultrasound Probe Disinfection market’s drivers and restraints and their impact on demand throughout the projection period. In addition, the report examines global opportunities in the Ultrasound Probe Disinfection market.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market: Overview

A medical gadget called an ultrasound probe uses sound waves to create images of the body’s internal organs. Internal organs reflect sound waves in the form of echoes, which are picked up by the probe and delivered to the computer. Sonograms are the representations created by these echoes.

Ultrasound probes for usage in bodily organs come in various sizes and shapes. Due to their storage in an unprotected open environment, ultrasound probes are susceptible to bacterial infection. Because soaking a probe in a solution for disinfection purposes contaminates the solution, it may harm the patient’s health. The most recent technique for cleaning ultrasonic probes is high-level disinfection (HLD). The ultrasound probe can be cleaned quickly, affordably, and safely while protecting patients and hospital workers.

 Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis

The need for medical supplies is growing due to the infected population. One of the most common medical devices in first-line clinical therapy is respiratory support equipment, such as an oxygen generator, life-support system, or monitor. A significant increase in demand for medical products, including masks, gloves, and protective eyewear, has also been brought on by COVID-19. Medical supplies are increasingly needed by healthcare professionals and the general public due to the increase in COVID-19 instances worldwide. To maintain an adequate and ongoing supply of personal protective equipment in the market, manufacturers of these items have the opportunity to benefit from the rising demand for medical supplies. 

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing in-vitro fertilization procedures

The need for ultrasound is predicted to increase due to the rising rate of in-vitro fertilization procedures in several nations, which is therefore anticipated to fuel the ultrasound probe disinfection market’s expansion. Furthermore, because it improves vision of the coronal plane in breasts with thick tissues, 3D/4D ultrasound is increasingly being advised for breast cancer screening.

Surging incidences of infections in hospitals

Hospital-acquired infections are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity throughout the globe. C Catheter-associated urinary tract infections, Central line-associated bloodstream infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Common hospital-acquired bacteria include difficult, Klebsiella, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Pseudomonas species, and Enterococcus. The increasing global incidence of HAIs is the predominant growth engine for the Ultrasound Probe Disinfection market.

According to the CDC, up to 1.7 million hospitalized patients in the United States each year contract healthcare-associated infections when treated for other health issues, and over 98,000 of these patients die from these infections. Furthermore, UTIs account for 32% of all healthcare-associated infections in the nation, surgical-site infections account for 22%, lung infections account for 15%, and bloodstream infections account for 14%. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of individuals 65 and up was approximately 52.3 million in 2019 and is predicted to rise to 83.7 million by 2050.

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market: Segmentation Analysis

In our research scope, the Ultrasound Probe Disinfection market is segmented into product, disinfection process, and end-use. Instruments led the market for the product segment. Due to the high price of these instruments compared to consumables and services, the instruments category held the biggest market share of over 35% in 2021.

Automated reprocessors, UV-C disinfectors, manual reprocessors/soaking stations, and ultrasound probe storage cabinets are some of the devices on the market for ultrasound probe disinfection. However, owing to the increasing demand for these products, as they are disposable, the consumables segment is predicted to grow at the quickest rate throughout the projection period. Both enzymatic and non-enzymatic detergents are employed in the disinfection process. Based on formulation, disinfectant wipes, liquids, and sprays have been further divided into the consumables market.
