Global Ultrasound Gel Market was valued at approximately USD 97.9 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 2.9% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Ultrasound gel, a coupling agent used in ultrasound imaging, facilitates the transmission of ultrasound waves to the tissues, aiding in the creation of clear and accurate images. The increasing adoption of ultrasound imaging, attributed to its cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and safety compared to other imaging methods, is driving the market growth. Additionally, the rising awareness towards screening for breast cancer and the increase in the target population are expected to contribute to market expansion.
The market growth is further bolstered by the surge in the procedural volume of ultrasound globally, coupled with rapid technological advancements in ultrasound gels. The availability of handheld ultrasound devices at reasonable prices has encouraged their adoption in small-sized clinics and hospitals, presenting significant growth opportunities. However, factors such as the cooling effect of ultrasound gels and inadequate healthcare resources are expected to impede market growth. The presence of surgical lube as an alternative to ultrasound gel also poses a challenge.
North America dominated the market in 2023, accounting for the largest revenue share of 39.2%, driven by the presence of major market players, developed healthcare infrastructure, and favorable reimbursement policies. The region's market growth is further supported by the increasing acceptance of ultrasound at community-level clinics and home healthcare. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period, fueled by large unmet needs, developing healthcare facilities, and the presence of several small-scale domestic manufacturers in countries like China and India.
