What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Point of Care Ultrasound Market?
The escalating incidence of long-term health conditions is forecasted to boost the point-of-care ultrasound market's growth. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) plays a crucial role in managing these lasting diseases which typically persist and tend to progress at a slow rate. POCUS provides the benefits of early detection, personalized care, and remote supervising, making it an essential tool in the management of these persistent illnesses, leading to an improved prognosis for patients. For example, the National Institutes of Health, a US government agency, stated in January 2023 that by 2035, an estimated 35.66% (range: 33.36–36.04) of adults aged 50 and older would likely have at least one chronic illness - a number that's likely to increase to 47.81% (range: 46.09–49.71) by 2050. Hence, the increased prevalence of chronic illnesses is a significant catalyst for the point-of-care ultrasound market.
