The global probe reprocessing market size was valued at USD 844.87 million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 10.55% from 2025 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of Hospital-acquired Infections (HAIs), growing awareness about the importance of infection control, and stringent regulatory guidelines set by health authorities. With the rise in the use of medical probes in diagnostic imaging, endoscopy, and other procedures, the demand for proper cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of these devices has significantly increased to prevent cross-contamination.
The rising demand for ultrasound procedures is projected to drive the growth of the probe reprocessing industry in the coming years. There is also an increasing need for research on the utilization of ultrasound technologies. For example, a study published by the National Library of Medicine in August 2022 analyzed ultrasound usage within the radiology department at Tygerberg Hospital (TBH). This study compared ultrasound volumes from 2013 to 2019, revealing a 12% increase in utilization. Ultrasound remained the second-most frequently performed specialized imaging procedure after computed tomography.
Moreover, the growing use of echocardiograms-ultrasound-based examinations of the heart-for cardiac diagnostics, driven by the rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, is expected to fuel the demand for ultrasound procedures. According to data released by MedStar Health in January 2024, over 7 million echocardiograms are conducted annually in the U.S. As a result, the rising need for cardiac ultrasound is anticipated to increase the demand for phased array or cardiac probes, further driving the need for probe reprocessing solutions to meet this growing demand.
In addition, technological advancements, including the development of high-level disinfectants and automated probe reprocessing systems, are expected to further propel market expansion. Key industry players, such as CS Medical LLC and Nanosonics, are introducing innovative solutions. For instance, in November 2022, Nanosonics launched four new products targeting the UK and Ireland markets: the Wireless Probe Holder, AuditPro, Soluscope Serie-TEE, and the UPS Bracket. AuditPro is a digital infection control management solution designed to enhance traceability and compliance. It is available in tailored versions such as the AuditPro Digital Logbook and AuditPro Infection Control Management Solution.
Moreover, the increasing emphasis on automation in probe reprocessing is expected to create significant opportunities for industry participants. Automated systems are gaining traction due to several advantages, including minimizing the risk of human error and inconsistencies across disinfection cycles, reducing the need for manual staff involvement, lowering personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, improving compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), and streamlining workflows for easier scalability across healthcare departments.
