Report Description

Market Overview

The global ultrasound probe disinfection market is expected to reach a high CAGR of 11.5% over the Forecast Period 2025-2032, reaching a value of USD YY billion by 2032. North America currently dominates the market with a share of YY%. The market is driven by the increasing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), rising number of ultrasound procedures, and growing awareness about probe disinfection.

 

Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Dynamics

Market Trend Growing Adoption of Automated Disinfection Technologies

Healthcare establishments are increasingly embracing automatic disinfection systems for ultrasound probes. These systems standardise the disinfection process, decrease human error, increase efficiency, and provide better infection control than manual techniques.

 

Market Driver
Increasing Focus on Infection Control and Patient Safety

The ultrasound probe disinfection market is being driven by an increase in the number of HAIs and a greater emphasis on patient safety. Regulatory authorities such as the FDA and CDC have produced guidelines emphasising the importance of properly disinfecting ultrasonic probes between patients to avoid cross-contamination and HAI.

 

Market Restraint High Cost of Advanced Probe Disinfection Systems

The high upfront cost of automated probe disinfection systems is a barrier to market expansion, particularly for smaller healthcare facilities with limited resources. The necessity for ongoing consumables and maintenance raises the total cost of ownership, which may discourage adoption.

 

Segment Overview

High-Level Disinfection (HLD) is the most popular sector in the ultrasound probe disinfection industry. HLD is the gold standard for cleaning semi-critical equipment such as endocavity and TEE probes, which pose a higher risk of infection transmission. HLD deactivates all microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungus, and certain bacterial spores.

In recent news, Nanosonics gained FDA certification in 2022 for their Trophon2 disinfection system, which employs hydrogen peroxide mist to disinfect ultrasonic probes. The HLD category accounted for more than 60% of the market in 2023 and is expected to maintain its dominance until 2031.

 

Regional Outlook

Dominating Region: North America Well-established healthcare infrastructure and strict infection control protocols.

North America dominates the worldwide ultrasound probe disinfection market due to its advanced healthcare system, rigorous HAI prevention legislation, and widespread usage of ultrasound techniques. The existence of large market participants, as well as the widespread availability of HLD systems, help to cement the region's supremacy.

In a recent development, the US FDA reclassified ultrasonic probe disinfection devices from Class I to Class II in 2021, necessitating extra scrutiny and a 510(k) premarket filing. This is likely to increase the adoption of approved disinfection systems. North America accounted for 40% of the market in 2023, with a value of USD 450 million.

 

Competitive Intelligence

The ultrasound probe disinfection market is fairly consolidated, with a few big manufacturers controlling significant market share. To achieve a competitive advantage, companies are investing in technologically superior automated disinfection systems, global growth, and distribution network strengthening.

Nanosonics, Tristel, Ecolab, CIVCO Medical Solutions, and Germitec are among the industry's leaders. In 2023, Nanosonics and Tristel had a combined market share of more than 50%. Recent advancements include Nanosonics' acquisition of H-Sign in 2021 to broaden its disinfection portfolio, and Ecolab's release of OmniBAS in 2022 to disinfect all types of ultrasonic probes.

In the future years, the market is projected to see new product launches, strategic collaborations, and expanded R&D as companies compete for larger share of this rising industry. The long-term outlook remains optimistic, owing to HAI prevention activities and increased ultrasound procedure volume.

 

Analyst Opinion

The ultrasound probe disinfection market is poised for significant growth, driven by rising concerns about HAI risks and increasing ultrasound treatment volumes. While HLD presently dominates, the ILD segment is expected to grow faster in the coming years due to the introduction of novel disinfectants and increased implementation in non-critical applications.

Automated disinfection technologies will be a prominent market trend, providing benefits such as standardization, traceability, and increased efficiency over manual techniques. This shift towards automation will increase revenue for disinfection equipment. However, large system costs may be a barrier for smaller facilities.
