Ultrasound Systems Market Global Briefing 2017

Ultrasound systems market comprises of ultrasound systems that are used in medical various medical applications. Ultrasound systems can be classified based on technology, portability, device display and applications. By technology, ultrasound systems are classified into diagnostic ultrasound (2D imaging, 3D imaging, 4D imaging, 5D imaging, and Doppler ultrasound systems) and therapeutic ultrasound (high intensity focused ultrasound and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy ultrasound). Based on device display, ultrasound systems are classified into color ultrasound devices and black and white ultrasound devices. Based on portability, ultrasound systems are classified into trolley/cart-based ultrasound devices and compact/handheld ultrasound devices (POC ultrasound devices).
Ultrasound systems are used in applications such as radiology/general imaging, orthopedic, cardiology, obstetrics/gynecology, vascular, urology, and other applications (breast imaging, hematology, anesthesiology, and emergency care).

The global ultrasound systems market was estimated to be around $6.5 billion as of 2016. The global ultrasound systems made up around 21% of the overall diagnostic equipment market in 2016. The ultrasound systems market was the second largest market in the global diagnostic equipment market in 2016.

Strategic Collaborations And Agreements
The market has witnessed multiple strategic collaborations and agreements in recent years. Top companies in the diagnostic equipment market are strategically partnering and collaborating with start-ups and mid-sized companies to broaden products and services. For instance, in April 2015, Agfa Healthcare and Hitachi Medical Systems entered into a strategic sales marketing alliance to market CR and DR systems in the US market. In August 2016, Insightec, the leader in MR guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) therapy, signed new distribution agreements with three new partners, Soelim in the Korean market, Unique Medical in the Slovakian market, and Spektramed in the Lithuanian market. In May 2016, SonaCare Medical enters into marketing alliance with Invivo in order to facilitate better tracking of appropriate targets for high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) prostate ablation.
Going forward, companies in the diagnostic imaging market need to reconsider their growth strategies and device a programmatic strategic initiative approach.
