Growth Outlook

Strong — India's cardiovascular disease burden is structurally growing (South Asians develop CAD 5-10 years earlier, 60M+ diagnosed CAD patients, hypertension epidemic in urban India), cardiology department capacity at tier-1 and tier-2 city hospitals is expanding faster than echo-trained technologist supply, and advanced echo modalities (3D, TEE, structural heart procedure guidance, strain imaging) are adding subspecialty layers that keep experienced echocardiographers in persistent short supply. BLS US growth estimate: 13% from 2024 to 2034 for diagnostic medical sonographers, well above all-occupations average. India echo lab expansion is running faster than this on a percentage basis due to lower starting penetration.
