Global Automated Breast Ultrasound Systems Market to Surpass USD 1.8 Billion by 2025
The global automated breast ultrasound systems (ABUS) market was valued at over USD 0.68 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR 16.1% during the forecast period, 2019-2025 to surpass USD 1.8 billion by 2025, driven by increasing government expenditure and rising awareness about breast cancer. Initiatives such as free check-up camps and symposiums for raising awareness regarding early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer will lead to greater adoption of ABUS in the coming years. However, stringent regulations and guidelines for the approval of ABUS, coupled with the high cost of diagnostic procedure, could hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
