Dublin, March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Portable Ultrasound Devices Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2019 - 2024)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Factors that are responsible for the growth of the portable ultrasound devices market include increasing spectrum of applications of the portable ultrasound, increasing advancements in technology, and the growing prevalence of chronic diseases.

The introduction of portable ultrasound devices has a variety of applications in many emerging fields, like emergency medicine, critical care medicine, and musculoskeletal. Portable ultrasound devices are used for easy access to ultrasound when limited space is there. Currently, these devices are being used in the major areas of diseases, such as cardiology, radiology endocrinology and gynecology. Since there is a rising need for ambulatory services across developing as well as developed countries, the demand for portable ultrasound devices is increasing, which is leading to the growth of the market.

Scope of the Report

Portable ultrasound systems are small devices compared to traditional ultrasound systems. These devices are lightweight and easy to handle.

Key Market Trends

Mobile Ultrasound Device is Expected to Grow with High CAGR

The mobile ultrasound device segment of the portable ultrasound devices market is expected to experience the fastest growth rate over the forecast period.

Mobile ultrasound devices are gaining attraction in the developing regions, due to the rising demand for ambulatory care. Although developed countries, like the United States, have a well-established market for handheld ultrasound devices, there is also a rising demand for mobile ultrasound devices. Due to its efficacy in providing mobile care, the segment is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period.

North America Dominates the Market and Expected to Follow the Same Trend Over the Forecast Period

North America currently dominates the portable ultrasound devices market and is expected to continue its stronghold for a few more years. In the North American region, the United States holds the largest market share. This can be majorly attributed to the increasing incidences of chronic disorders, rising demand for advanced ultrasound systems, and the presence of the developed healthcare infrastructure.

Competitive Landscape

The portable ultrasound devices market is moderately competitive and consists of several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. With the rising need of mobile health and the advancements in ultrasonography, few smaller players are entering the market and holding a substantial share.

Some of the major players of the market are Fukuda Denshi, Hitachi Ltd, Koninklijke Philips NV, Canon Medical Systems Corporation, and Siemens Healthineers, among others.
