Ultrasound Gel Global Market Report 2022: Increasing Numbers of Pregnancies Worldwide Driving Sector Growth – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Ultrasound Gel Market, By Type, By Application, By End-use, and By Region Forecast to 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global ultrasound gel market size is expected to reach USD 126.2 Million in 2030 and register a revenue CAGR of 3.4% over the forecast period, according to a latest report. A rapid increase in the number of diagnostic procedures is projected to propel market growth over the forecast period.

Ultrasound gel is a colorless, transparent, and viscous substance used as a coupling agent between the transducer and patient’s skin during diagnostic imaging procedures such as ultrasounds and echocardiography. The gel provides uniform contact between the transducer and patient’s skin, which is necessary for clear ultrasound images. In addition, ultrasound gel prevents air bubbles from forming between the transducer and patient’s skin, which can distort images.

The rapid increase in the world population, implying an increase in number of pregnancies throughout the world, is the key factor estimated to fuel the demand for ultrasound gel during the forecast period. According to United Nations, the world population was 7.7Bn in 2019 and is projected to reach 9.7Bn by 2050.

Technological advancement in healthcare industry is another important factor that is expected to support the market growth over the next few years. Additionally, increase in awareness about benefits associated with ultrasound gel is expected to create new opportunities for market players operating in the ultrasound gel market over the forecast period.

Non-sterile ultrasound gel is widely used in the diagnostic imaging market as a coupling agent between the patient’s skin and the transducer. The global ultrasound gel market is growing due to the increase in the number of diagnostic centers and hospitals, and the rise in research and development activities by leading manufacturers.

Moreover, the surge in public awareness about early diagnosis is also expected to fuel market growth. However, the stringent regulations regarding the manufacturing and approval of ultrasound gel are expected to restraint market growth during the forecast period.
