According to the Univdatos, the rise in prevalence of osteoporosis, growing advancements in medical devices, and increasing focus on preventive measures drive the bone sonometer market. As per their “Bone Sonometer Market” report, the global market was valued at USD 1,178.5 million in 2023, growing at a CAGR of about 5.7% during the forecast period from 2024 - 2032 to reach USD million by 2032.

Introduction

A bone sonometer is an instrument that diagnoses or supervises bone density and bone quality. it is generally applied for diagnosing illnesses such as osteoporosis. They work on the basis of ultrasonic waves, which determine how these waves propagate through bones. This examination makes use of two characteristic indices, namely the Speed of Sound (SOS) and Broadband Ultrasound Attenuation (BUA) in an effort to assess bone status. It is measured against some normative values based on age and *** of the patient; denser and healthier bones are better transmitters of sound waves. Bone sonometers are typically applied to peripheral areas of the body, for example, on the heel (calcaneum), fingers or forearm. As compared to methods like DEXA bone density measurement, bone sonometers are portable, non-ionizing, less expensive and therefore suitable as a first-line assessment and in clinical areas where DEXA is inaccessible. Although less accurate than the DEXA scans, they enable easy determination of subjects at risk of fractures or assessment of changes in bone density over time.

The increasing prevalence of Osteoporosis is driving high demand in North America

The North America bone sonometers market has emerged due to rising cases of osteoporosis and other bone disorders among elderly people. Osteoporosis involves frailty in bones, which increases the chances of fractures, and this disease has recently developed into a serious health issue involving millions of people in this region. With aging, osteoporosis rates rise, which increases the need for accurate assessment and diagnostic devices such as bone sonometers. Due to their non-invasive nature, absence of radiation, and compactness, bone sonometers offer a practical method of measuring bone densities and evaluating the risks of fractures, thereby deeming it crucial to address this problem. In addition, the increasing amount of attention given to the health of bones and preventive healthcare has enabled more people to get bone density tests, further leading to a significant demand for these machines. Policies and programs undertaken by various government healthcare departments, along with reimbursement policies supporting diagnostic tests have augmented the use of bone sonometers in North America.

For instance, according to the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, approximately 10 million Americans have osteoporosis and another 44 million have low bone density, placing them at increased risk of fracture. By 2025, experts predict that osteoporosis will be responsible for three million fractures resulting in $25.3 billion in healthcare costs.

Increased Focus towards Preventive Care in the United States

A major factor driving bone sonometers in the United States is the heightened interest in preventive healthcare, resulting from explicit governmental policies and health awareness campaigns. Since osteoporosis has become prevalent in the United States with millions of patients, especially postmenopausal women and the elderly, early diagnosis is considered an essential part of maintaining this chronic disease. The United States of America has leverage on the preventive type of care, and this has created a market demand for efficient diagnostic devices that do not involve invasive procedures, such as bone sonometers. Such devices are particularly useful as they are portable, radiation-free methods for bone density evaluation that can be effectively used in clinics, hospitals, and even in mass community health programs. The market receives a further uplift from the recommendation by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for rigorous screening for osteoporosis, especially in the elderly, leading to the growth of the United States bone sonometers market.

Increasing Government Support is driving high demand in Canada

Government support is an essential market driver for the Canada bone sonometers market. The government's focus on health promotion and disease prevention consequently influences the use of diagnostic equipment such as the bone sonometers needed in the detection of osteoporosis and other bone disorders. Government grants, subsidies, and reimbursement policies for diagnostic devices solve the financial pressure of bringing in better-adopted technologies. Also, programs like health campaigns for Osteoporosis and Bone Health, which are normally sponsored by the government, drive the market demand for regular bone density tests, enhancing the bone sonometer market progression. Overall, standardization and certification of medical devices on safety and efficacy also serve as a driving force for the growth of the market among healthcare givers and patients. Additionally, Canadian government spending more on research and innovation in medical technologies has also contributed to the improving market competition on availability of sophisticated bone sonometers. Therefore, governmental support ensures favorable conditions for market development by working on economic, infrastructural, and regulatory challenges.
