World Market for Ultrasound Imaging Equipment - 2007 Edition

SUMMARY

This is the second edition of InMedica’s report, ‘The World Market for Ultrasound Imaging Equipment’. This report analyses the world market for ultrasound imaging equipment in terms of revenues and unit shipments, split by product type and further, by geographic region. The statistics are presented for the different types of ultrasound imaging equipment without any service costs or any additional ‘optional’ equipment (i.e. equipment that is not essential for the operation of the ultrasound system).

The World Market for Ultrasound Imaging Equipment - 2007 Edition

Tables ES.1 and ES.2 present the world market for ultrasound imaging equipment by geographic region in terms of revenues and unit shipments respectively. Figure ES.1 presents the forecast change in the world ultrasound market for the period 2005 to 2010, in terms of revenues. The key points to note are:

• The world ultrasound market was estimated to be worth $4,618.7 million in 2005. By 2010, revenues are forecast to increase to $5,710.7 million representing a CAGR of 6.5%.
• 2007 is predicted to be the strongest year in the forecast period due to the introduction of a number of new “compact” (hand-carried and portable) ultrasound systems in 2006 and their rapid market adoption, especially in emerging applications.
• The impact of compact systems in 2007 is evident in the forecasts for cart-based systems for the same year. Forecasts for mid-range, high-end and premium cart-based equipment show the biggest slow down in growth occurring 2006 to 2007.
• Globally, the market maintains robust growth of between 6.4% and 6.6% for the forecast period. The market's 6.5% CAGR is fuelled by tremendous growth in the hand-carried segment, and the current ‘compact revolution’.
