The global cardiovascular ultrasound market size was valued at $2.4 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $4.2 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2023 to 2032. The cardiac ultrasound, or echocardiogram, uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the heart. These images allow doctors to visualize the chambers, valves, walls, and blood vessels. Thus, rise in prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is expected to fuel the demand for ultrasound echocardiogram. Therefore, this factor is anticipated to fuel the growth of market. For instance, according to American Heart Association, globally, it was estimated that in 2020, 244.1 million people were living with ischemic heart disease (IHD), and it was more prevalent in males than in females (141.0 and 103.1 million people, respectively).
Cardiovascular ultrasound, also known as echocardiography, is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart and its surrounding blood vessels. This non-invasive procedure allows healthcare professionals to visualize the structure and function of the heart, providing valuable information for the diagnosis and management of various cardiovascular conditions. Cardiovascular ultrasound is widely used in assessing the size, shape, and function of the heart chambers, valves, and walls. It is also used in identifying conditions such as heart valve disorders, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathies, and other structural abnormalities. Also, it evaluates blood flow patterns and detects abnormalities such as regurgitation, stenosis, or blood clots.
The cardiovascular ultrasound market growth is driven by an increase in prevalence of cardiac disease, rise in geriatric population, and presence of large market players who manufacture cardiovascular ultrasounds. Moreover, fetal echocardiography is prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD). This allows the baby to have faster access to medical and surgical intervention after birth. In some cases, prenatal diagnosis has been shown to improve overall outcomes in babies with complex heart disease. Thus, rise in prevalence of congenital heart disease is anticipated to fuel the demand for cardiovascular ultrasound and fuel the growth of the market. For instance, according to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it was reported that, congenital heart disease affects about 40,000 births per year in the U.S.
In addition, rise in the geriatric populations is anticipated to increase the prevalence of cardiac diseases. Thus, this factor is expected to fuel the demand for echocardiography or cardiovascular ultrasound and boost the growth of cardiovascular ultrasound market. This is attributed to the fact that the geriatric population is highly susceptible to cardiac diseases due to a variety of factors such as lack of physical activity, frailty, obesity, and other diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis. Aging is associated with a natural decrease in the elasticity of arteries, which further leads to blockages in the coronary arteries.
In addition, alarming increase in prevalence of comorbidities such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, which can further increase their risk of developing cardiac diseases. Therefore, rise in aging population coupled with sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing heart diseases. For instance, according to the British Heart Foundation, Heart, and circulatory disease statistics, in 2023, it was reported that around 25,971 population of age group 65 to 74 years, 48,619 population of age group 75 to 84 years, and 71,455 population of age group above 85 are suffering from heart and circulatory diseases in the UK. Thus, rise in number of geriatric populations boosts the demand for diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases, thereby driving the growth of the market.
On the other hand, high cost of cardiovascular ultrasound or echocardiogram is anticipated to hinder the growth of market. For instance, in large hospital facilities such as Community Memorial Hospital the cost of echocardiogram is $4,443. In addition, the cost of echocardiogram in large hospitals in U.S. such as Mayo Clinic Hospital and Cleveland Clinic Florida is $1,831, and $2,273, respectively. In addition, lack of awareness among rural areas and developing countries such as India, China, South Africa, and others is anticipated to hamper the demand for cardiovascular ultrasound and expected to hinder the growth of market.
