Summary of the Report

Global ultrasound gels market was worth USD 89.7 millions in 2019. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 3.0%) between 2020 and 2027. To obtain clear images, an aqueous medium must be placed between the ultrasound probe & the skin. As an aqueous medium, ultrasound gel acts as a coupling media in these procedures. Its components include Carbopol and propylene glycol as well as phenoxyethanol and glycerin. The manufacturer can make them in different amounts and combinations. Healthcare facilities are in high demand for ultrasound gel, which is an essential component of the ultrasound scan. The market is expected to grow due to the growing volume of ultrasound globally. The market will also be boosted by the increasing use of ultrasound devices for point-of-care diagnostics and bedside monitoring.

Market growth will be aided by the introduction of superior ultrasound gels with better features, such as being odorless, colorless and formaldehyde-free. Aquasonic Clear Ultrasound gel from Parker Laboratories, for example, is an odorless and colorless gel that has a high coupling rate.

Market growth is expected to be restrained by the use of agents like guar gum and hand sanitizers, shampoo, lotion, gelatin, aloe vera, and surgical grease as an alternative to gel. Market growth will also be resisted by the introduction of ultramodern ultrasound probe covers and scanner pads that can be used with or without gel.

Type Insights

In 2019, non-sterile ultrasound gel accounted for 71.0% of the total revenue. The forecast period will see the fastest growth in the segment of sterile ultrasound gel. There are two types of ultrasound imaging: internal and external. External ultrasound probes are applied to intact skin. They require minimal cleaning and disinfection. Non-sterile ultrasound gel can be used for external probe procedures. Segment growth will be driven by the growing number of external probe procedures that can diagnose problems with the gallbladder, kidneys, or intestinal.

COVID19 Impact: Increased use of COVID-19 assessment with steep growth of 15% in 2020 starting in 2019.

Pandemic Impact

Outlook after COVID

Demand for ultrasound gel also increased, as it is used to assess lung damage in COVID-19 patients.

Due to the decline in births, the demand for ultrasound gel in OB/GYN applications will likely decrease until the pandemic is over.

During the pandemic, there was a significant increase in Lung Ultrasound procedures.

Long-term effects of COVID-19 will likely fuel the demand for ultrasound procedures, particularly for the lung and kidney.

You can buy sterile ultrasound gels in pocket-sized 20ml packets. These gels are used for ultrasound procedures that require sterility, such as when treating open wounds or during needle guidance. Because of contamination, the segment will grow quickly and there is a possibility of infection from multi-use nonsterile gel bottle.

End-user insights

In 2019, the hospital segment accounted for 53.5% of the total revenue and is expected grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period. Demand for ultrasound gels will rise due to the increasing number of hospital emergency visits reporting issues such as chest pain, acute abdominal pain, and vascular problems. The demand curve will also be driven by the use of the ultrasound device during follow-up visits. Because gel must always be applied before examination,

The market for ultrasound gels is expected to see rapid growth in clinics and ambulance centers during the forecast period. In clinics, the number of ultrasounds installed has increased due to the increasing awareness of the importance of early intervention to reduce healthcare costs. Small clinics have been able to take advantage of the affordable handheld ultrasound devices. The increasing number of ultrasound units available in clinics has led to a rising demand for gel.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for 39.7% of the total revenue in 2019, which was the highest ever. Market growth will be driven by factors like the development of healthcare infrastructure and simplified reimbursement policies. Market growth will also be supported by the acceptance of ultrasound at community-level clinics and home healthcare.

In 2019, Europe held the second largest market share. The market is expected to grow due to large medical consumables consumption, rising healthcare spending, and increasing medical imaging procedures. The annual statistics from the NHS for 2019 show that over 9.0 Million ultrasound procedures were performed in the U.K.

Asia Pacific will experience the fastest growth during the forecast period. Market growth will be boosted by large unmet healthcare needs, the development of healthcare facilities, and the presence small-scale domestic producers, especially in China and India.

Market Share Insights & Key Companies

The market for ultrasound gels can be fragmented. It is common to see the key players involved in growth strategies, such as product launches and innovation in existing products. They also participate in business development programs like conferences, trade fairs and tenders.
