Compact Ultrasound Equipment Market Outlook in
Hospitals, Clinics, and Home Settings 2032
The compact ultrasound equipment market focuses on portable ultrasound devices used for medical
imaging across various specialties such as cardiology, obstetrics, and emergency care. These systems are
smaller and more mobile than traditional machines, making them ideal for point-of-care use in hospitals,
clinics, and remote settings. The market is growing due to the increasing demand for quick and non-invasive
diagnostics, advances in imaging technology, and the expansion of telemedicine. North America currently
leads in adoption, while the Asia-Pacific region is witnessing rapid growth due to improving healthcare
access and rising awareness of portable diagnostic tools.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global compact ultrasound equipment market was valued at USD
2.65 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 2.97 billion in 2025 to USD 6.40 billion by 2032,
exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6% during the forecast period. In 2024, North
America led the market with a 35.84% share.

Industry Development
In March 2024, Butterfly Network, Inc. launched its first specialty compact ultrasound product in the U.S.—
the iQ+ Bladder. This bundled solution includes an iQ+ Bladder probe, user-friendly software, a compact
rolling cart, tablet, and power splitter—designed to facilitate automated bladder volume measurements and
3D visualization by nursing staff in seconds.
Market Drivers & Restraints
The compact ultrasound segment is gaining momentum due to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases,
rising emphasis on early detection and preventive healthcare, and demand for portable imaging systems in
diverse clinical settings. High burden of cardiovascular disease and other non-communicable diseases
globally is fueling adoption of mobile diagnostic tools.
However, further adoption faces constraints such as image-quality limitations compared to full-scale console
systems, along with cost considerations and slower deployment in settings with constrained budgets—and
these factors may moderate growth.
