The Global Food Ultrasound Market Size is valued at USD 156.24 Mn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 310.45 Mn by the year 2031 at a 9.14% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- Developing specialized ultrasound applications for different food products presents an opportunity.
- The increasing emphasis on food safety and quality is a major driver for the adoption of ultrasound technology.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of global revenue in 2023.
- The diverse nature of food products in terms of composition, texture, and structure can make it challenging to develop standardized ultrasound applications.
Ultrasound is used in the food industry for many different purposes, including freezing, harvesting, drying, tampering, bleaching, and sterilizing. The number of germs in the food can be decreased by using sterilizing agents along with ultrasonic radiation. Ultrasound reduces processing costs and guarantees the purity of food products. The market is expected to be influenced by elements such as rising consumer desire for a longer shelf life, raising awareness of food quality, and optimizing nutritional content.
The market's expansion is also linked to the growing use of technology in the production of food items such as fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, baked goods, beverages, and confections, among others. Furthermore, a significant demand from the food processing industry is also anticipated for the market because of its high reliability.
Additionally, the rapid development of technology in the food processing sector in developing nations, the existence of standards and regulations governing food safety and quality in both developed and developing nations, and the rise in the consumption of processed foods are some of the major factors anticipated to significantly fuel the growth of the global food ultrasound market in the years to come.
However, the absence of competent labour and the stringent laws governing food safety may slow the market's expansion. The market for food ultrasonography would face additional challenges throughout the projection period due to high capital expenditure.

Market Segmentation:
The food ultrasound market is segmented into frequency, function and food product. Based on frequency, the market is segmented into low-frequency high-intensity, and high-frequency low-intensity. Based on function, the market is segmented into cleaning, microbial (enzyme) inactivation, quality assurance, homogenization & emulsification, cutting, and others. Based on food products, the market is divided into seafood & meat, vegetables & fruits, dairy, beverages, confectionery & bakery, and others.
Based On Frequency, The High-Intensity Detection Segment Is Accounted As A Major Contributor In The Food Ultrasound Market.
High-intensity detection is anticipated to dominate the market in terms of the frequency range throughout the forecast period. Great-intensity ultrasound produces emulsions, disrupts pathogenic cells, and provides high tenderization for meat products. The growth of the category can be ascribed to the expanding demand for affordable, easy-to-use, effective, and non-destructive methods of food quality control, as well as the growing usage of high-frequency ultrasonography to determine food attributes during processing. For instance, Fujifilm produces the Vevo MD ultra-high frequency machine series, which is fitted with a Power Doppler that can visualize even the most minor anatomical details that a routine ultrasound cannot. These innovative technologies are anticipated to pave the way for future developments in food processing.
The Quality Assurance Segment Witnessed Growth At A Rapid Rate.
The quality assurance category dominates the market for food ultrasound over the forecast period. The prevalence of strict rules and regulations surrounding food safety, and quality, the growing emphasis on preserving food standards, and also due to the significant demand from businesses to improve the efficiency of their business processes are credited with this rise. This can be linked to the increased emphasis on upholding food standards. Food ultrasound is utilized to enhance the yield and speed of extracting food components, assess food attributes, detect faults, control fruit ripening, and assess the condition of conservation. By lowering energy and chemical requirements, ultrasound has been used to enhance the operations of conventional food processing units, thus increasing the quality of the food.
In The Region, The Asia Pacific Food Ultrasound Market Holds A Significant Revenue Share.
The Asia Pacific market for food ultrasonography is expected to register the highest market share over the forecast period. India is predicted to become the most advantageous place for manufacturers due to an increase in food fraud. Due to the adoption of cutting-edge food processing methods in nations like Japan, China, and India to fulfil the rising food demand, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to have the quickest market growth over the forecast period. The Asia Pacific market is also expanding as a result of the expansion of emerging economies and the expansion of R&D for the introduction of new technologies. Besides, the North American food ultrasound market is anticipated to grow at a significant rate throughout the forecast period. Due to the presence of substantial vital players and rising consumer demand for packaged foods and beverages in this area, North America currently dominates the food ultrasound market and will maintain its dominant position throughout the projection period.
