Europe Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market

Europe Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market Size and Growth Analysis:

Europe ultrasound probe disinfection market was valued at USD 89 million in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of around 20% over the next few years to reach USD 319 million over the forecast period 2025.

Ultrasound probe disinfection is large level cleansing substances employed for sterilizing the devices and instruments used in hospitals for medical application. The disinfectants are applied to prevent the ultrasound probes from bacterial contamination. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information in November 2014, it was reported that 22.6% of probes were contaminated by bacteria, and 28.6% of probes were showing bacterial growth. So, the increasing contamination by bacteria can support the use of ultrasound probe disinfection market.

Growth Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities:

The key factors responsible for influencing the European market are growing number of ultrasound imaging procedures, growing awareness about maintaining a sterile and disinfectant environment in hospital and an increase in the technological developments in ultrasound probes. Also, the increasing number of patients for sonographic imaging and rising population boost this market growth during the forecasted period.

Additionally, factors such as high cost of automated probe reprocess and less focus on ultrasound disinfection devices companies, difficulty in shifting from manual disinfection technique to automated probe preprocessors are expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period.

The European market is growing, owing to the increasing prevalence of rising incidence of bacterial infection, increasing research & development in ultrasound probe disinfection and growing healthcare expenditure.

Geographical Analysis of Europe Ultrasound Probe Disinfection Market:

Europe is the second largest market for ultrasound probe disinfection around the world and will retain its place during the forecast period due to the increasing prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a skin to skin transmitted disease. According to the Oxford Vaccine group fact sheet, HPV infection causes cervical cancers. It was also reported that 99% of cervical cancers are caused due to this transferrable infection. Furthermore, it was also maintained that 3,126 new cases of cervical cancer were reported in the UK in 2015. The increasing prevalence of HPV infection supports the market growth in this region.

The European market is also supported by the increasing number of transvaginal, transracial, abdominal, and intraoperative ultrasound procedures; a growing number of trans oesophagal echocardiography (TEE) and ultrasound-guided interventional procedures (biopsies and venous access); rising adoption of high-level disinfectants; and the presence of leading market players in the region. However, the high cost of automated probe repressor and the reluctance to shift from manual disinfection methods to automated probe repressors are restraining the growth of this market.
