The global ultrasound market is forecast to grow by 27% in the next five years, despite ongoing economic challenges, according to a new report from IMS Research.
The report, titled "The World Market for Ultrasound Imaging Equipment -- 2013," finds factors that will boost the ultrasound market include strong growth in China (due to that country's 2020 Health Plan, which seeks to provide equal access to healthcare), increased government investment to modernize healthcare in Russia, and health improvement goals in Brazil and southeast Asia, IMS Research said.
