Automated Breast Ultrasound Systems Market Poised to Reach USD 7.23 Billion by 2033 at a 14% of CAGR

Automated Breast Ultrasound Systems Market

The global automated breast ultrasound systems (ABUS) market, valued at approximately US$ 1.95 billion in 2023, is projected to experience substantial growth, reaching an estimated US$ 7.23 billion by 2033. This expansion is driven by a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% over the forecast period.

Automated breast ultrasound systems have emerged as a crucial tool in breast cancer screening, offering enhanced imaging capabilities compared to traditional mammography, especially for patients with dense breast tissue. The increasing prevalence of breast cancer, combined with rising awareness of early detection and advancements in ultrasound technology, is fueling demand for ABUS worldwide.

As healthcare providers prioritize patient comfort, accuracy, and early cancer detection, automated breast ultrasound systems are gaining traction as a preferred screening option. The technology’s user-friendly interface and ability to generate 3D images provide radiologists with more detailed insights, which can lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

ABUS offers several advantages over conventional methods, such as providing 3D images and reducing the dependency on operator expertise, leading to improved diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning have further enhanced ABUS’s capabilities, enabling automated lesion detection and characterization.

The market has also been bolstered by the rising adoption of digital healthcare solutions and telemedicine, allowing for remote interpretation and consultation, thereby improving access to healthcare services for patients in remote areas. Moreover, increased investments in research and development have resulted in the launch of more sophisticated and user-friendly ABUS devices, encouraging their widespread adoption among healthcare providers.

However, challenges persist, such as the high cost of ABUS equipment, which may limit its accessibility in certain regions. Moreover, despite the benefits, there remains a need for continued education and training of medical professionals to ensure optimal utilization of ABUS technology.

Key Takeaways from FMI’s Automated Breast Ultrasound Systems Market Study:

• Increasing government investment to promote breast cancer awareness among women will bolster demand across the U.S.
• The U.K is expected to experience noteworthy growth as governments and private organizations aim at curbing high mortality rate due to breast cancer.
• Presence of modern healthcare infrastructure will increase automated breast ultrasound system adoption across Germany
• Saudi Arabia will offer lucrative opportunities owing to rapid urbanization and emergence of advance diagnostics centers.
• India is expected to exhibit increasing demand owing to increase in per capita income and to growing incidence of breast cancer among women.
• Hospitals are expected to lead the market driven by faster accessibility modern tool and availability of skilled professionals.

What are the Major Challenges Hindering the Automated Breast Ultrasound Systems Market?

A radiologist with expertise in ABUS is required to correctly interpret the volumetric 3D images and identify the region of the breast lesion. The lack of skilled radiologists and the increased cost of standardized training hamper the market growth.

Lack of awareness in emerging economies regarding breast cancer and underdeveloped healthcare infrastructure in underdeveloped countries are also hindering the market growth.

According to Winship Cancer Institute, breast ultrasound is more susceptible to producing false positives than mammography. The breast ultrasound system is also not equipped to indicate whether the tumor is benign or cancerous. The inability to display calcification among women above 45 years is a major concern among the market players.
