Market Size

The Global Ultrasound Needle Guides Market reached US$ 372.53 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 866.31 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period 2025-2033.

Ultrasound needle guides are instruments used in ultrasound-guided procedures to align a needle with the ultrasound beam, ensuring it is within the ultrasound's field of view. This improves needle visualization, reduces procedure time, and enhances intervention accuracy, facilitating safe and efficient needle puncture.

 

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rise in Technological Advancements

The global ultrasound needle guides market is growing due to technological advancements in imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), and device design. High-resolution ultrasound systems with improved image quality and penetration depth enable precise needle guidance and visualization. Advanced features like elastography and Doppler imaging enhance diagnostic capabilities, making ultrasound-guided procedures more versatile and effective. AI and machine learning in ultrasound devices improve efficiency by assisting with real-time image analysis, needle trajectory prediction, and automatic adjustments based on patient anatomy.  

For instance, in September 2024, RIVANNA secured a patent for an advanced ultrasound-guided needle insertion system, aiming to significantly improve the accuracy and safety of needle-based medical procedures.

High Cost and Limited Accessibility in Low-Income Regions

Ultrasound systems and needle guide accessories are expensive, especially in low- and middle-income countries, which often face limited healthcare infrastructure and budget constraints, hindering widespread adoption and creating disparities in access to advanced ultrasound-guided interventions.

Market Segment Analysis

The global ultrasound needle guides market is segmented based on product type, application, end-user, and region.

Product Type:

The disposable needle guides from the product type segment is expected to dominate the ultrasound needle guides market with the highest market share.

Disposable needle guides are medical accessories made from medical-grade plastic, pre-sterilized to ensure safety and minimize cross-contamination. They assist in precise needle direction during ultrasound-guided procedures, aligning the needle path with the ultrasound beam, improving accuracy, and reducing procedural errors.

The disposable needle guides market is being driven by product launches, increasing focus on infection control and hospital-acquired infection prevention. Regulatory bodies and healthcare institutions are promoting single-use devices to reduce sterilization costs and comply with safety standards. The convenience and time efficiency of disposable guides, coupled with increasing procedure volumes, are driving market demand.

Market Geographical Share

North America is expected to hold a significant position in the ultrasound needle guides market, with the highest market share

The ultrasound needle guides market in North America is fueled by advanced healthcare infrastructure, high imaging technology adoption, and minimally invasive procedures. The region benefits from significant healthcare investments, skilled professionals, and supportive reimbursement policies. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular conditions, which often require image-guided biopsies or catheter placements, further increases the demand for needle guides in clinical settings.

For instance, in November 2023, DeepSight Technology introduced its ultrasound-guided needle technology, NeedleVue, which offers safety in directed interventional tool guidance. It combines advanced sensor technology with interventional devices, enabling real-time placement verification and reducing procedural guesswork.

Major Global Players

The major global players in the ultrasound needle guides market include CIVCO Medical Solutions, GE Healthcare, Aspen Surgical Products, Inc., FUJIFILM Sonosite, Inc., Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD), Argon Medical Devices, Remington Medical Inc., GEOTEK Medical, Rocket Medical, and BIRR, among others.

Key Developments

  • In July 2024, Intelligent Ultrasound (IU) launched NeedleTrainer 2.6, a new training solution for ultrasound-guided needling. The all-in-one training tool offers improved applicability across various needling practices and a new mode and e-learning for common vascular access procedures. It uses non-invasive needle insertion during real-time scanning on a real subject.
