The Europe Point-of-care Ultrasound Market would witness market growth of 13.6% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).In the year 2020, the Europe market's volume surged to 36,203.1 units, showcasing a growth of 14.6% (2019-2022).

The rising use of point-of-care ultrasound in emergency rooms, rising birth rates, technological advancements in developed economies, an increase in the burden of disease, and a rapidly growing geriatric population are some of the primary factors driving this market. In conclusion, market expansion will be aided by the rise in chronic diseases and the need for point-of-care in emergency rooms.

Growing health expenditures in emerging nations will favour the market. Additionally, the continuous demand for portable point-of-care ultrasound devices to improve clinical outcomes and operational effectiveness positively affects market expansion. Point-of-care ultrasound devices will be encouraged, and practitioners from all disciplines will be educated through marketing initiatives sponsored by groups like the Society of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS).

Focused cardiac ultrasonography (FoCUS) and lung ultrasound (LUS) are two examples of POCUS applications that anesthesia providers should be aware of. POCUS is also used to determine the gestational age, number of babies (twins/triplets), fetal viability, and intrauterine pregnancy. Additionally, this technique gives medical professionals the real-time information they need to manage and treat injured patients in emergencies, military medicine, and remote care facilities.

According to a United Nations (UN) assessment of the French aging policy, France, like other European countries, has experienced a continuous and significant increase in the population of seniors. In France, there were 15 million people over 60 in 2012. Twenty-four million individuals will be a component of this in 2060. Growth prospects are anticipated to be favourable due to the rising probability of conditions that could require ultrasound among the aging populations in European countries.
