Endoscopy Devices Market

Global Endoscopy Devices Market Size (2024 to 2032)

In 2023, the global endoscopy devices market was valued at USD 35 billion and it is expected to reach USD 63.27 billion by 2032 from USD 37.38 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 6.80 % during the forecast period.

Endoscopy is a medical technological solution through which healthcare professionals can examine the inside parts of a human body. In this medical procedure, a long and flexible tube with a light and camera on the end is used to view the inside environment of a human body. Endoscopy helps identify the diseased organ's condition and aids in surgical procedures. Endoscopy is in the usage from across the world as these procedures are minimally invasive and cost-effective. The tube used in endoscopy procedures is inserted either from the mouth or through the anus and can be used to view the body organs such as the stomach, intestines, and other internal organs. Endoscopy diagnoses and treats various diseases such as GI problems, cancer, and others. In some countries, endoscopy procedures are covered by the health insurance provider; in such countries, the adoption of endoscopy is growing consistently. On the other hand, the preference for endoscopy from doctors and patients is increasing.

MARKET DRIVERS

The growing patient population suffering from gastrointestinal diseases is one of the key factors propelling the endoscopy devices market growth.

The number of people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases such as cancer, ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastroesophageal reflux has been growing gradually over the last few years. An estimated 29.3 million new cancer cases worldwide were recorded in 2020. An estimated 6 million people every year in the United States suffer from peptic ulcers. As per the statistics published by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), an estimated 3.1 million adults have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). 20% of the U.S. population has issues with GERD. Using endoscopy, healthcare providers examine the gastrointestinal tract for abnormalities and perform various procedures such as biopsies, removal of polyps, and treatment of bleeding ulcers. The growing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is resulting in the rising number of endoscopy procedures and boosting the endoscopy devices market growth.

The rapid adoption of technological developments to develop advanced and effective endoscopy devices is further fuelling the growth rate of the endoscopy devices market.

With the help of technological advancements, endoscopy devices have seen several developments improved imaging capabilities, wireless endoscopy devices and greater maneuverability. These technological developments have further helped to improve the effectiveness, accuracy, and safety of endoscopic procedures and resulted in the growing demand for endoscopy devices. The growing aging population is accelerating the growth of the endoscopy devices market. The aging population is much more likely to be diagnosed with digestive diseases and other conditions that require endoscopic procedures and resulting in an increasing number of endoscopic procedures.

The growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries is another notable factor contributing to the endoscopy devices market growth.

Owing to the reduced trauma and pain to the patient, shorter recovery times, and lower healthcare costs, the number of minimally invasive surgeries is growing significantly. Endoscopic devices play a key role in minimally invasive surgeries as healthcare providers can visualize and access internal organs and tissues using these devices. The growing healthcare expenditure in several countries is boosting the growth of the endoscopy devices market. Several governments and healthcare organizations invest significant amounts in the healthcare industry and medical devices, including endoscopy devices. The rising awareness regarding digestive diseases and the increasing number of screening programs by several governments to detect these diseases early is accelerating the growth of the endoscopy devices market.

In addition, growing preference for outpatient procedures, rising demand for disposable devices, an increasing number of improvements in the healthcare infrastructure in developing countries, and rising adoption of capsule endoscopy are propelling the growth of the endoscopy devices market. Furthermore, rising demand for wireless endoscopy devices, an increasing number of technological advancements in endoscopic accessories and growing usage of endoscopy devices in veterinary medicine are further fuelling the growth rate of the endoscopy devices market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high costs associated with endoscopic procedures are limiting the adoption of endoscopy devices and hampering the global market growth.

Poor reimbursement coverage by some insurance companies in certain countries for endoscopic surgeries is another notable factor hindering the market’s growth rate. The availability of alternative diagnostic and treatment options is impeding the market growth. The scarcity of skilled professionals who can operate the devices, interpret results and perform procedures safely is a notable obstacle to the growth of the endoscopy devices market. In addition, concerns about infection transmission, stringent regulatory environment and limited access to endoscopy devices in certain countries are inhibiting the growth rate of the endoscopy devices market.
