What are the challenges faced by the ultrasound market presently?

There are certain factors and barriers for the growth of ultrasound machines in India. Strict implementation of pre-natal diagnostics tests act that would prevent deliberate abortion of fetus after determining the gender of the baby. This unjust practice has led to seriously-skewed male-female sex ratio. Hospitals, Nursing Homes etc. that carry out ultrasound tests are made to register and obtain a certificate to be allowed to do the testing. This certification is a tedious process that could take up to six months and more and becomes reason for withdraw of orders. Another reason is lack of awareness, skills and knowledge about the machines. A user should undergo a proper training before operating on ultrasound machine.
