The ultrasound transducer market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the ultrasound transducer market has seen steady expansion. The market, which was valued at $4.39 billion in 2024, is expected to increase to $4.56 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%.
This historic period growth is largely due to factors such as the surge in demand for diagnostic imaging, the prevalence of chronic diseases, widened usage in obstetrics and gynecology, a growing elderly populace, and the evolution of global healthcare infrastructure.
The ultrasound transducer market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the ultrasound transducer market is projected to experience consistent expansion. It is predicted to increase to a value of $5.32 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%.
The expected increase in the forecast period can be linked with the growth of telemedicine services, emphasis on point-of-care diagnostics, greater availability in developing regions, the rise of applications in interventional procedures, and customization for particular medical fields. In the forecast period, significant trends comprise the reduction in size of transducer technology, growth in the use of point-of-care ultrasound (pocus), the creation of high-frequency transducers, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI), progress in transducer materials and the establishment of wireless and cable-free transducer connectivity.
The growth in the ultrasound transducer market is anticipated to be driven by the rising incidence of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. These ailments, which encompass various conditions affecting the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and airways, are often diagnosed and treated using ultrasound transducers. These devices are essential for imaging and assessing the condition of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. For example, British Heart Foundation data from September 2024 revealed that about 7.6 million people in the UK live with heart and circulatory diseases, with such diseases contributing to roughly 27% of all deaths in the country. Furthermore, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in March 2024 recorded a significant increase in tuberculosis cases, from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023. Thus, the growth of the ultrasound transducer market is closely tied to the rise in cardiovascular and respiratory disorders. The ultrasound transducer market is also stimulated by an increase in ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures. These procedures use high-frequency sound waves to generate real-time, non-invasive images of the body's internal structures, with the ultrasound transducer playing a critical role by generating and detecting these sound waves. To illustrate, per The National Health Service data from November 2023, the number of diagnostic ultrasonography activities in England rose by 1.8% to 10.3 million in 2021/22. Consequently, the increase in ultrasound diagnostic imaging procedures contributes to the expansion of the ultrasound transducer market.
