According to data published by the World Cancer Research Fund, there were a total of 397,430 new prostate cancer cases globally and 230,125 in the U.S.

Endocavity Transducer Market Restraint

Limited Skilled Professionals May Hamper the Market Growth

Despite the growing demand for endocavity transducers, there is a shortage of skilled radiologists, especially in developing countries. This shortage can lead to delayed diagnoses and failure to meet the rising demand, which is further anticipated to limit the usage of endocavity transducers, hindering market growth.

• For instance, India faces a significant shortage of radiologists, which is approximately 20,000 radiologists for 1.4 billion people. (August 2023) Such a scenario can limit the volume of diagnoses through the endocavity transducers, which is anticipated to hamper the market expansion.

Analysis by Design

Based on design, the market is subdivided into convex/curvilinear, linear, and others.

The convex/curvilinear segment is expected to hold a major share of the global market. The segment's growth can be attributed to the high significance of this type of endocavity transducer in multiple applications such as abdominal imaging, vascular imaging, nerve imaging, and others, especially when in-depth visualization is needed.

• For instance, as per data published by Lenard Enterprises, Inc., in September 2024, convex/curvilinear design allows for better visualization of larger internal structures, making them ideal for deep imaging in abdominal imaging, vascular imaging, nerve imaging, MSK, and OB/GYN, which is anticipated to boost the segment growth.

Analysis by Resolution

On the basis of resolution, the market is divided into 2D and 3D/4D.

The 3D/4D segment is expected to hold a substantial share of the global market. The segment growth can be attributed to the significant capabilities of 3D/4D resolutions, such as enhanced visualization, improved diagnostic accuracy, and real-time imaging compared to 2D resolution, which is boosting their demand across the globe.

• For instance, according to an article published by Heart Medical in August 2024, 3D probes have a 7.5 MHz to 11 MHz frequency range, while 2D linear ultrasound probes have a 2.5 MHz to 12 MHz frequency range. These capabilities make them a valuable tool in modern medical diagnostics and interventions, thereby boosting the segment growth.

Analysis by Application

In terms of application, the market is subdivided into obstetrics & gynecology, urology, cardiology, and others.

The obstetrics & gynecology segment is expected to hold a substantial share of the global market during the forecast period. The segment growth can be attributed to the rising incidence of obstetrics & gynecology conditions such as ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and tumors, which may increase the diagnosis demand.

• For instance, according to the Journal of Transfusion and Apheresis Science in June 2023, the prevalence of ovarian cysts was estimated between 8.0% and 18.0% among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women globally. This is increasing the diagnostic rate and utilizing endocavity transducers, which is expected to fuel the segment growth.

Analysis by End-user

By end-user, the market is fragmented into hospitals & clinics, diagnostic imaging centers, and others.

The diagnostic imaging centers segment is projected to expand at the highest CAGR during the projection period. The growth is mainly attributed to the preferential shift of patients from hospitals to independent imaging centers, which may spur the demand for diagnostic products, including endocavity transducers, in these settings.

• For instance, according to data published by the Watson Imaging Center, out of inpatient imaging and outpatient imaging, 70.0% of prescribed imaging tests were performed in outpatient medical diagnostic imaging facilities. This surge in outpatient imaging is expected to boost the demand for endocavity transducers in diagnostic imaging centers, driving the segment growth.
