Bulgaria Ultrasound Device Market Synopsis
The Bulgaria Ultrasound Device Market is projected to rise significantly in the future. In 2019, the Bulgarian healthcare system was facing significant challenges due to corruption and insufficient funding. However, during the pandemic in 2020, Bulgaria realized the necessity for medical imaging technology, and trade barriers were loosened, which resulted in a 21% rise in imports. Moreover, the development of a new advanced medical device manufacturing facility in Plovdiv with an investment of $12.1 million by BTL Industries coupled with measures taken by the Bulgarian government to privatize the healthcare sector would further contribute to the growth of the Ultrasound Devices Market in Bulgaria.
According to 6Wresearch, Bulgaria ultrasound device market revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2023-29. The demand for ultrasound devices would increase on account of the high rate of adoption of hospitals and clinics as well as different projects in the healthcare sphere receiving funding worth $350 million from the European Resilience and Recovery fund in forthcoming years. Older population share in the country is projected to increase from 21.3% in 2018 to 32.7% of the country’s population by 2060 and as the majority of the older population suffer from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and musculoskeletal disorders they are more likely to undergo ultrasound guidance which would result in fuelling the demand for ultrasound devices in the coming years, which will stimulate the Bulgaria Ultrasound Device Market Share.
Market by Portability
On the basis of portability, cart/trolly ultrasound devices accounted for both the highest revenue and volume share in 2022 owing to more advanced software and versatility as they can be used in a wide range of medical specialties. However, the compact/handheld ultrasound devices segment is expected to grow at a higher rate in future years on account of advancing technology increased adoption of point-of-care applications, and the preference for home treatment by Bulgarian citizens
Market by Display
Based on the display, the black & white segment dominated the market share in the year 2022 owing to its inexpensiveness, and ability to emit no radiation making it safer for pregnant women. Further, the market for color ultrasound devices is anticipated to witness significant growth in the coming years due to the advantages of color Doppler imaging as it allows guidance of needles to precise locations within the body, which can reduce the risk of complications and increase the success rate of the procedures.
Market by Type
Based on type, the diagnostic ultrasound systems segment dominated the market in 2022 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period due to their application in many medical specialties including gynecology, cardiology, and radiology. It also provides versatile, non-invasive imaging modalities that can produce high-quality images of internal body structures. However, the therapeutic segment of the ultrasound device market is expected to experience rapid growth during the forecast period, primarily due to its ability to promote fast and effective healing and its use in conjunction with other treatments such as physical therapy.
Market by Application
On the basis of application, the radiology/general imaging segment contributed the highest revenue share in 2022 owing to images being produced in real-time, allowing radiologists to see the movement of organs and blood flow as well as advanced imaging techniques allowing for more accurate and detailed imaging of the body.
