According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Instrument market size was valued at US$ 5402 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 7533 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.9% during review period.
A Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Instrument, commonly referred to as a color ultrasound, is a medical imaging device centered on fully digital color Doppler ultrasound technology. It obtains two-dimensional anatomical information of human tissues and organs through ultrasound beam scanning, and uses the Doppler effect to display blood flow direction and velocity in real time with red and blue colors. From an industry perspective, this field encompasses three major product forms. Trolley-based color ultrasound systems are fully featured and powerful, serving as the primary equipment for comprehensive systemic examinations in ultrasound departments. Portable color ultrasound systems weigh less than 7 kilograms and are suitable for mobile diagnostic scenarios such as emergency rooms, ICUs, and grassroots outreach. Handheld color ultrasound systems connect to smartphones or tablets, enabling ultra-compact bedside rapid screening. Based on clinical application, they are mainly divided into general-purpose, cardiac, and obstetric/gynecological systems, with high-end OB/GYN systems requiring 4D probes to meet the clinical needs of fetal anomaly screening. In recent years, with the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology into ultrasound imaging and the accelerated implementation of medical equipment renewal policies, the Color Ultrasonic Diagnostic Instrument is evolving from a traditional auxiliary examination tool into a core infrastructure for clinical diagnosis and treatment decision-making.
Market Development Opportunities and Key Drivers
The global ultrasound market size is nearly 9 billion US dollars, with the Chinese market accounting for approximately one quarter. National county-level medical community equipment renewal projects are accelerating, with Hebei, Jiangsu, Henan and other provinces successively disclosing ultrasound procurement plans exceeding 100 million yuan. Xinjiang alone plans to renew 1,777 devices, with a procurement budget of over 300 million yuan for color ultrasound systems. Artificial intelligence is redefining ultrasound as an industry consensus. United Imaging Healthcare, after six years of investment exceeding 600 million yuan, launched its uSONIQUE full series of ultrasound products equipped with an AI technology platform in November 2025, achieving self-developed core components including probes, main units, and circuit boards. Mindray has surpassed the former market leader among imported brands to become the number one domestic ultrasound market manufacturer, while domestic companies such as Sonoscape continue to increase their market share.
Market Challenges and Risks
The high-end market has long been dominated by multinational brands including GE Healthcare, Philips, and Siemens. In a recent procurement project at the Shunyi District Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Beijing, the winning bid price for a high-end color ultrasound system was 1.64 million yuan, with the brand being Philips and GE Healthcare. Compliance requirements on the procurement side are becoming increasingly stringent. A county-level medical community ultrasound procurement project in Hebei Province was canceled due to a bid challenge, with Philips subsequently awarded the contract at a higher price. Hebei, Heilongjiang, Guangdong and other provinces have successively introduced new regulations for handling government procurement disputes, clearly listing eleven categories of supplier challenge scenarios covering the entire procurement, evaluation, and award process. Furthermore, ultrasound is a discipline heavily dependent on experience, and the implementation of artificial intelligence technology is not an easy task, with all manufacturers competing from the same technological starting line.
Downstream Demand Trends
The Thousand Counties Project is driving an increase in equipment configuration rates at county-level hospitals, with medical equipment procurement scale at county-level hospitals growing by 52.48 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025. Jiangsu, Henan, Fujian and other provinces have successively issued county-level medical community ultrasound procurement announcements covering multiple categories including general-purpose, OB/GYN, cardiac, and portable systems. The proportion of cataract surgeries performed in private hospitals continues to rise, and ultrasound, as a routine configuration device for ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, and cardiovascular departments, enjoys stable demand growth. The share of high-end and ultra-high-end ultrasound systems continues to increase, with Mindray's share of high-end and ultra-high-end models in its domestic ultrasound revenue having risen to 63 percent. Sonoscape stated in its 2024 annual report that the market share of domestic ultrasound is continuously increasing, breaking the monopoly position of imported brands in the high-end ultrasound segment.
Regional Trends
The global ultrasound market size is nearly 9 billion US dollars, with the Chinese market accounting for approximately 25 to 30 percent. United Imaging Healthcare has established an ultrasound research and development center and an overseas ultrasound marketing team in Seattle, USA, and plans to launch its full line of ultrasound products at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in early December 2025. The European market imposes stricter technical standards and clinical requirements on ultrasound equipment, with Germany and France maintaining leadership in ultrasound probe materials and signal processing. China and the broader Asia-Pacific region are the core growth engines of the global ultrasound market. The trend of domestic substitution is particularly evident in 2025, and United Imaging Healthcare's entry into the ultrasound field has completed the last piece of its medical imaging product portfolio.
