Ultrasound Sensors Market - Global Industry Analysis 2012 - 2018


The increasing number of applications in healthcare such as Renal Denervation and Sonography along with the miniaturization of these devices particularly for minimally invasive procedures is predicted to drive the market for these sensors in the coming years. Other drivers are the non-invasive procedures performed by HIFU or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound devices which may not even require contact of the device. Acceptance in medical community particularly with regards to safety and efficacy of ultrasound is expected to be a significant driver for these sensors in the coming years.


Ultrasound has been an integral part of healthcare since its first use in 1942 when Doctor Karl Theodore Dussik of Austria published the first paper on medical ultrasonics on his research. In Sweden Inge Edler and Carl Hellmuth Hertz used ultrasound in cardiology. Ultrasound sensors are used for a variety of medical devices and healthcare. The use of medical ultrasound can be broadly classified into diagnostic ultrasound where high frequency waved penetrate the skin and are received back and converted by the transducer or sensor into an image with the help of an interface device. The other facet is the therapeutic ultrasound sensors which are used to damage tissue through a process called ablation. This ablation is used to removal of tumors, cauterization and other procedures.

The sensor consists of a core piezoelectric crystal placed inside the device. These crystals have the property of changing size when a current passes through them. Thus when an alternate current is passes through them, they increase and decrease in size at a very high rate of speed. This “oscillation” creates vibrations at a high frequency consequently emitting sound waves beyond the hearing range of most animals. Another property of these crystals is that the vibrations or severe change in size in turn create voltage which is converted by computer software to render images.

There are over 20 classes of crystals which are considered piezoelectric and are used for a variety of purposes. Therapeutic ultrasonic sensors are used in catheter based ablation or in treatment of gall stones, kidney stones and uterine fibroids. These devices are also used for numerous cosmetological applications such as acne removal, treating varicose veins and others such as disinfection and cleaning of equipment.

Some of the major companies producing these sensors make them for a variety of medical applications and range from sizes such as hand-held sensors to large ultrasound beds used for therapeutic purposes. Some of the major companies making ultrasound sensors are Migatron Corp, Rockwell Automation, Maxbotix, Pepperl+Fuchs, Omron, Blatek Inc, Vermon, Philips, GE, Acuson, Esaote,  among many others.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, And Forecast, 2012 - 2018


Continuous glucose monitoring systems are real-time monitoring systems for checking glucose levels in the body. The system consists of a tiny sensor inserted under the skin to test glucose levels in the tissue fluid. The sensor stays in place for several days to a week and then must be replaced. A transmitter sends information about glucose levels via radio waves from the sensor to a pager-like wireless monitor. The key advantage of continuous glucose monitoring is that it can help identify fluctuations and trends that would otherwise go unnoticed with standard HbA1c tests and intermittent finger stick measurements. 


Development in the multi-parameter mid-range patient monitoring devices can create a new opportunity for further expansion. Collaboration with established local companies can be helpful for manufacturers to provide effective services and maintain profit margins simultaneously. Further cost reduction by integration of continuous glucose monitors with insulin pumps can be helpful for CGMs to achieve significant popularity among the price sensitive Asian consumers.  

The CGM systems market is a highly specialized niche market; it can be further segmented into the market for transmitters-receivers and the one for glucose. The U.S. is contributing the maximum in terms of the total revenue earned from CGMs. The European market is still in a nascent stage and contributes a small amount to the total revenue. The Asia-Pacific region and Brazil also contribute very little to the global revenues.

The CGM systems markets in the U.S and Europe are growing at a fast pace and estimated to reach to a three digit (in USD million) market size globally at a CAGR of double digits. The rapid increase in the number of diabetes patients is the major driving force for the estimated growth. The most important driver for the CGM market in Europe is the need for a convenient, affordable, and patient-friendly device that facilitates superior therapy management for diabetes and this need can be fulfilled by CGM devices.

In the present scenario, the slow growth rate of the market in the Asian region is due to the late launch of CGM systems and a slow acceptance of these systems in low and middle income nations such as China and India due to the unaffordable price. In Japan and Australia, various regulatory approvals are a hindrance for the growth of the market. 
Some of the market players in this industry include Medtronic Inc., DexCom Inc., Abbott Diabetes Care Inc and others.

Global Oncology Devices Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, And Forecast, 2012 - 2018


Oncology is the study of Cancer. Oncology devices market consists of medical devices involved in diagnosing and treating the disease cancer. The Oncology devices market could be segmented into 2 major categories: by type and by applications. There are two types of Brachytherapy devices and the Endoscopic devices. The segmentation of the market as per the applications is as follows: external radiation beam therapy, Systemic radiation therapy, and the Brachytherapy 


According to a report by the American Cancer Society 50% of men and 30% women are likely to develop cancer in some form or the other in their lifetime. An increasing amount of cancer patients is the major driver of the sales of the Oncology devices market. The increasing amount of consumption of tobacco and the increasing amount of carcinogens present in the polluted air or in any other form, is also supposed to drive the oncology devices market in the future. Some of the driving factors of the oncology devices market are: rising disposable income, which enables the patient to avail expensive treatments, easily available medical insurance policies, rising medical tourism activities. 

The government policies such as the restrictions imposed by the FDA on medical devices acts as a restraint for the oncology devices market, inability to detect cancer at an early stage or ignoring the early symptoms reduces the chances of survival of a patient, this also acts as a restraint for the market.  The developing countries provide immense opportunities for the Oncology devices market as, such economies have a great demand and the supply is yet to match the demand. Heavy investments in R&D also act as an opportunity, as innovative and technologically advanced products always have the capability of substituting its predecessors.



One of the major factors restraining the growth of this market is that the new and technologically advanced products like con focal endomicroscopy are replacing the conventional endoscopy devices. The reason for such a substitution is the fact that a con focal endomicroscopy is helping scientists and medical practitioners to detect cancer at a much early stage.
