South America Ultrasound Devices Market - 2024 - 2031

Report Overview

South America Ultrasound Devices Market reached US$ 436 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 710.11 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

An ultrasound device employs high-frequency sound waves to see the body's interior organs. Ultrasound is a tool that radiologists and sonographers use to scan human bodies. An ultrasound system includes a probe that sends high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves into the patient's body. The bodily organs then reflect these sound waves into the probe.

These transmitted waves are subsequently sent to a display system, which creates the picture via echoes. Ultrasound devices are used to see organs such as the liver, kidneys, blood arteries, heart, human fetus, and others.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Increasing healthcare expenditure and infrastructure development

Growing healthcare spending in South American countries enhances healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers. This expansion fuels the demand for advanced ultrasound devices market. The country is establishing hospitals and diagnostic centers with advanced diagnostic equipment. The establishment of new hospitals and clinics, particularly in underdeveloped or rural areas, raises demand for medical equipment, including ultrasound machines.

Modernizing and improving the healthcare infrastructure ensures that more hospitals have advanced diagnostic tools. As hospitals and clinics modernize, they are likely to replace old ultrasound machines with newer models that provide greater imaging quality and additional functions. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the market growth.

High costs of advanced ultrasound devices

The high cost of advanced ultrasound devices is projected to limit market expansion. Apart from the original cost of purchasing, advanced ultrasound devices usually incur additional operational and maintenance costs. These challenges could discourage healthcare providers from investing in new technology. Hospitals and clinics have limited money and may prioritize investment in other areas, such as essential or important needs.

Market Segment Analysis

The South America ultrasound devices market is segmented based on type, technology, application, and end-user.

The cardiology segment is expected to dominate the market share

The cardiology segment is expected to hold a significant portion of the market share. Healthcare providers primarily recommend an ultrasound to check for structural abnormalities in the heart, measure the heart and its chambers' sizes and thickness, evaluate the motion of the chamber walls, and gauge the degree of damage to the heart muscle after a heart attack.

Cardiac ultrasonography is a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic technique that offers comprehensive hemodynamic data. Because of the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in South America, there is a growing need for ultrasonography, which is driving the segment's rise.
