COVID-19 had a severe impact on North America in 2020. Emergency legislation was introduced, including restrictions on business activities, leading to the shutdown of several manufacturing units, including those producing healthcare supplies like ultrasound gels. Limited availability of the workforce and raw materials resulted in lower production volumes of ultrasound gels. A decrease in hospital visits for ultrasound procedures also reduced the demand for ultrasound gels. However, the rising demand for ultrasounds to diagnose COVID-19-related lung conditions increased the demand for ultrasound gels. As a result, the overall market for ultrasound gels grew significantly in 2020. The market is expected to continue growing in 2021 and beyond due to the adoption of wireless-based portable ultrasound solutions and increasing demand for patient monitoring systems in home care settings. Online sales of ultrasound gels will also boost the growth of the regional ultrasound gels market during the forecast period.
Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Ultrasound gel is essential for ultrasound scans, and healthcare facilities require it. The increasing use of ultrasound during scans has led to a surge in demand for ultrasound gels. Ultrasound is a highly utilized and cost-effective imaging modality for diagnosing and treating various medical conditions. It is widely used for early detection and verification of complex disorders, including cardiology, cancer detection, obstetrics, and gynecology. The global increase in birth rates and the adoption of in-vitro fertilization methods requiring high-resolution imaging also support the growth of the ultrasound gels market. Additionally, the rising incidence of cancer worldwide is expected to drive demand for ultrasound gels as ultrasound technology is popular for early cancer detection and staging. Overall, the broad applications of diagnostic ultrasound in these three major therapy areas are likely to drive the demand for ultrasound gels, boosting the market's growth during the forecast period.
Growing health awareness has led to increased use of preventive measures like early diagnosis through ultrasound imaging. This has reduced the recurrence of diseases by detecting and treating them in their early stages. Ultrasound plays a major role in proper diagnosis by physicians. Chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obstetrics and gynecological disorders can be prevented and managed through early detection and improved lifestyle habits. Chronic diseases are prevalent not only in high-income but also in low and middle-income countries. Early diagnostic measures and advanced ultrasound technology can lower mortality rates. Increasing demand for ultrasound imaging will drive the demand for ultrasound gels and boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Ultrasound gels play a crucial role in ultrasound procedures, but they come with some side effects, including dry and flaky skin or a greasy residue. Oil-based gels or those containing propylene glycol are more likely to cause these issues. While it is rare for ultrasound gel to contain bacteria, the FDA restricts the use of multi-use bottles to prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, some individuals may experience skin allergies from the gel, but this is uncommon. These side effects could deter customers from using ultrasound gels, hindering the growth of the global market in the forecast period.
Vendors are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
