What Key Factors and Trends Are Driving The Growth 3D And 4D Ultrasound Devices Market?
The growth of the 3D and 4D ultrasound devices market is anticipated to be driven by the rising incidence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are long-term health issues that last over a long period and typically necessitate continuous management and medical attention. The rise in chronic diseases can be mostly ascribed to inactive lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and an aging demographic. 3D and 4D ultrasound devices play a crucial role in diagnosing and tracking chronic diseases by offering comprehensive three-dimensional images, thereby improving the visualization and evaluation of impacted organs and structures. For instance, the National Library of Medicine, a US-based agency, stated in January 2023 that by 2050, the population in the US aged 50 and above with at least one chronic condition would surge by 99.5% to 142.66 million. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) 2022 Highlights, a Switzerland-based international health organization, reported in September 2022 that 74% of all deaths worldwide, or 41 million each year, result from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases. Consequently, the surging prevalence of chronic diseases is propelling the expansion of the 3D and 4D ultrasound devices market.
