The 3D/4D ultrasound segment dominated the market with the highest revenue share of around 46.69% in 2024, and it is expected to grow at the highest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.16% from 2025 to 2034. 3D and 4D handheld ultrasound devices are widely used in cardiovascular monitoring to determine blood flow through arteries and veins. In addition, 3D/4D units are increasingly being used in breast imaging for breast cancer screening, as they provide better visualization of the coronal plane. Therefore, the growing prevalence of cancer is likely to boost the demand for 3D/4D handheld ultrasound devices. For instance, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2022 about 2,380, 189 cancer cases were observed. Also, 3D/4D ultrasound imaging is gaining acceptance in obstetrics/gynecology. These factors are expected to propel the handheld ultrasound device market during the forecast period.
The 2D ultrasound segment is also expected to grow at a significant rate from 2025 to 2034. The demand for 2D handheld ultrasound is primarily attributed to its easy user interface and affordable cost. 2D handheld ultrasound devices are more commonly used in obstetrics, cardiology, and women's health. 2D handheld ultrasound devices create black-and-white images that show the baby's skeletal structure and make internal organs visible. The frequent launch of new products that offer improved imaging, workflow, and ergonomic capabilities is anticipated to drive this segment. For instance, in August 2023, Siemens Healthineers introduced a dedicated cardiovascular ultrasound system with 2D HeartAI and 4D HeartAI robust artificial intelligence (AI) features.
The hospital segment held the largest revenue share of 43.0% in 2024. This growth can be attributed to the higher number and type of ultrasound studies performed in hospitals than in any other healthcare setting. On average, a hospital may require at least three ultrasound scanners, one dedicated to general radiology, one for obstetrics and gynecology, and one for cardiac scanning. Also, the increasing number of private hospitals to address the growing burden of chronic illness is expected to drive the demand for handheld ultrasound devices. On the other hand, handheld ultrasound is becoming one of the key diagnostic tools during emergency visits and bedside monitoring.
In October 2020, GE Healthcare partnered with St. Luke’s University Health Network-a nonprofit, fully integrated, regional, nationally recognized network providing services at 12 hospitals-to install 76 ultrasound systems. The primary clinics segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.30% from 2025 to 2034. In primary care, POCUS has been shown to increase the physician’s ability to detect heart failure accurately, improving management. It was also more sensitive to identifying pneumonia than the combined chest X-ray and clinical examination. POCUS is the benchmark of care for procedural guidance and enables the clinician to quickly recognize a variety of life-threatening entities and guide the management of hemodynamically unstable patients.
Based on application, the musculoskeletal segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 21.53% in 2024. The identification, highlighting, and measurement of tendon structures in the foot, ankle, and knee are done automatically by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) used for musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging that operates with handheld point-of-care ultrasound devices. Technological advancements in products and the launch of novel products by industry key players are boosting the industry's growth. GE HealthCare's Vscan Air offers simple patient imaging at the point of care. It assesses diseases, such as joint effusion, tendon and ligament injuries, bone fractures, and inflammation (tendonitis) across the MSK system of the body. MSK ultrasound is utilized with Vscan Air to support injury identification and guided interventions in clinics, radiology, sports medicine, outpatient settings, or everywhere necessary.
The trauma segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 6.21% from 2025 to 2034. Trauma physicians use point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) as a helpful imaging method. Rapidly identifying injuries that threaten life and necessitate action is made possible by ultrasonography. A few ultrasound applications in the trauma department include obstetrics, soft tissue/MSK, abdominal ultrasonography of the right upper quadrant and appendix, and testicular and ocular ultrasonography. When traditional diagnostic techniques either take too long or put a person in more danger, ultrasonography is utilized to quickly diagnose a small number of injuries or pathologic diseases in the emergency medicine department.
