Transrectal Ultrasound Market Research, 2031
The global transrectal ultrasound market size was valued at $207.5 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $313.8 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2022 to 2031. A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), also known as prostate sonogram or endorectal ultrasound, is a device used to perform an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy evaluation of prostate gland in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen.
The transrectal ultrasound sonography guided biopsy helps to reveal benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer, and other kidney problems. In addition, it is used to diagnose other diseases of the rectum and can be used in detection of rectal cancer. Furthermore, transrectal ultrasound system is one of the various medical imaging modalities present in the market. Transrectal ultrasound is equipped with transducers, which transmit the high frequency ultrasonic sound waves into the body of the patient. These transmitted waves are then taken to a display machine, which generates the image with the help of echoes.
The growth of the global transrectal ultrasound market size is majorly driven by increase in prevalence and incidence rates of prostate cancer. For instance, according to National Cancer Institute (NCI), the rate of new cases of prostate cancer was 112.7 per 10,000 men per year globally. In addition, as per the same source in 2019, about 3,253,416 men were living with prostate cancer in the U.S.
In addition, rise in adoption of imaging systems in the healthcare facility and introduction of new and technologically advanced systems in the market are expected to increase the demand for transrectal ultrasound systems during the forecast period. Furthermore, high diagnostic rates of benign prostatic hyperplasia, rise in prevalence of urological disorders, and surge in demand for transrectal ultrasound procedures in Europe are the key factors contributing toward transrectal ultrasound market growth.
Increase in research and development activities for developing innovative and advanced systems by key players such as GE Healthcare, Esaote SpA, and Exact Imaging will provide transrectal ultrasound market opportunity during the forecast period. However, high cost of transrectal ultrasound systems and transducers negatively impact the growth of the market.
The global market expansion is being fueled by factors such as rise in demand for transrectal ultrasound transducers, increase in incidences of urological disorders, and rise in healthcare expenditure in developing countries such as India and China. Moreover, increase in adoption of different strategies such as product launch and partnership among the key players in the field of transrectal ultrasound propels the growth of the global transrectal ultrasound market during transrectal ultrasound market forecast.. For instance, in May 2021, Esaote announced the launch of a new MyLab X75 ultrasound system to enhance daily productivity and comfort making ultrasound imaging easier. In addition, Sonablate Corp. extended partnership with Mayo Clinic to launch Sonablate HIFU Center of Excellence in Rochester, MN, in January 2021.
Impact of COVID-19 on the market
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector around the world. Nearly all industries have been impacted by COVID-19 including transrectal ultrasound industry. Coronavirus crises led to strict social distancing rules and visits to hospitals only for emergency needs which have resulted in a significant decline in demand for transrectal ultrasound systems. Furthermore, transducers and ultrasound machines can serve as vector for transmission of infection which is the major cause for decline in the diagnostic tests performed for prostate cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The overall impact of COVID-19 pandemic remained negative for key players in the transrectal ultrasound industry. However, the market is anticipated to witness recovery in 2021 and beyond, and show stable growth in the coming future.
TRANSRECTAL ULTRASOUND MARKET SEGMENTATION
