Endoscopy Devices and Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The endoscopy devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.37 billion in 2023 to $8.92 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth witnessed in the historical period can be ascribed to the rising incidence of gastrointestinal diseases, a growing acceptance of endoscopic procedures, increased healthcare expenditure, and the expansion of medical tourism.

The endoscopy devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.52 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding aging population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, the rise in obesity rates, and the approval of new regulations. Key trends expected during the forecast period include the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, adoption of single-use endoscopes, advancements in visualization technology, innovations in endoscope disinfection technology, the incorporation of 3D imaging technology, advancements in robotics technology, wireless endoscopes, dual-channel endoscopes, real-time endoscope visualization systems, wireless capsule endoscopy, improved data management systems, and the miniaturization of endoscopes.

The anticipated growth in the rigid endoscope market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of cancer and gastrointestinal disorders. Cancer, characterized by abnormal cell growth leading to organ and tissue dysfunction, and gastrointestinal disorders, affecting the digestive system, are conditions where endoscopes play a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment. These devices enable clinicians to visualize the patient's body, perform biopsies, and conduct minimally invasive operations, facilitating early diagnosis and effective treatment. For instance, a report from the World Health Organization in February 2022 highlighted that cancer, responsible for over 10 million deaths in 2020, is a leading global cause of mortality. Common types include breast, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate cancers. Consequently, the rising prevalence of cancer and gastrointestinal disorders is a key driver for the growth of the endoscopy devices and equipment market.

The increasing incidence of gastrointestinal diseases is expected to fuel the growth of the overall endoscopy device and equipment market. Gastrointestinal diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the digestive system, impacting the organs responsible for food breakdown, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination. Conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, and gastrointestinal cancers are becoming more prevalent, leading to a heightened demand for endoscopy devices and equipment. These devices play a critical role in the diagnosis and monitoring of gastrointestinal diseases through minimally invasive procedures, offering accurate visualization and aiding in treatment planning. As of January 2023, the American Cancer Society reported a 3.18% increase in gastrointestinal cancers, reaching 348,840 cases compared to 338,090 in 2021 in the United States. The escalating prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is poised to drive the growth of the endoscopy devices and equipment market.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), serving as the regulatory body for medical devices in the UK, oversees various aspects, including drug and device alerts, drug safety updates, blood regulation and safety, marketing authorizations and licensing guidance, and medical devices regulation and safety. According to safety guidelines established by the MHRA, companies in the medical device manufacturing industry are required to recall their products if any problems or defects are identified. An example of such a recall occurred in April 2022 when KARL STORZ, a German endoscopy device company, issued an urgent medical device recall notice for specific KARL STORZ flexible endoscopes. The recall was prompted by issues detected in product descriptions and instructions for use, raising concerns about the potential risk of injury during the device's usage.

Within the endoscopy devices and equipment market, companies are increasingly focusing on the development of endoscopy robotic systems, which offer greater flexibility and effectiveness compared to conventional devices. These robotic endoscopy devices address challenges in therapeutic endoscopy, enhance vision and reach, reduce labor intensity, and improve communication, control, and the overall ability to perform endoscopy procedures. They find applications in various surgical fields, including gastrointestinal surgeries, urology/gynecology surgeries, ENT surgeries, cardiovascular surgeries, neuro/spinal surgeries, laparoscopy surgeries, and arthroscopy surgical procedures. In 2021, Fujifilm collaborated with SMART Medical Systems to create an innovative solution for colon endoscopy known as the G-EYE 700-series endoscope system. This groundbreaking technology offers exceptional visualization capabilities and delivers high-quality diagnostic images.

Leading companies in the endoscopy devices and equipment market are actively engaged in developing innovative products such as premium video processors and endoscope series to enhance their competitiveness. These premium video processors and endoscope series are designed to provide top-notch imaging quality, advanced features, and versatility for medical professionals conducting endoscopic procedures. For example, in January 2023, Pentax Medical, a US-based supplier of surgical and medical instruments, introduced the i20c video endoscope series along with a new premium video processor. These products aim to elevate the quality of endoscopic procedures and improve the user experience for healthcare professionals. The Inspira premium video processor incorporates 4K imaging technology and customizable settings, while the i20c video endoscope series offers superior ergonomics and exceptional imaging for heightened diagnostic accuracy.
