The bronchoscope market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.2 billion in 2025 to $3.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases, growth in diagnostic bronchoscopy procedures, expansion of hospital respiratory departments, improvements in endoscopic imaging, availability of reusable bronchoscopes.
The bronchoscope market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.58 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of disposable endoscopy solutions, rising focus on patient safety, expansion of interventional pulmonology procedures, growing investments in advanced endoscopy systems, increasing demand for workflow-efficient devices. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of single-use bronchoscopes, rising demand for video bronchoscopy systems, growing use of minimally invasive pulmonary procedures, expansion of advanced imaging and navigation features, enhanced focus on infection control.
The increasing prevalence of respiratory tract disorders is expected to drive the growth of the bronchoscope market in the future. Respiratory tract disorders are medical conditions that impact the respiratory system, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. Bronchoscopy serves as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool that can evaluate and treat various respiratory tract disorders; therefore, the rise in these conditions is likely to lead to increased demand for bronchoscopes. For instance, in June 2024, a report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), an Australia-based government agency, stated that in 2023, COPD accounted for 3.6% of the total disease burden and 50% of the burden from respiratory conditions. Additionally, it was reported that 87% of COPD patients in 2022 had one or more comorbidities, with the most prevalent being mental and behavioral conditions (49%), arthritis (45%), and asthma and back problems (42% each). Therefore, the rise in the prevalence of respiratory tract disorders is anticipated to enhance the bronchoscope market.
Major companies in the bronchoscope market are concentrating on developing advanced robotics with real-time imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce patient discomfort, and shorten recovery times during lung disease diagnosis and treatment. Advanced robotics with real-time imaging involves robotic systems that utilize live imaging technologies to guide precise actions and decision-making in real-time. For example, in September 2024, TidalHealth Nanticoke, a US-based healthcare organization, launched an advanced robotic bronchoscopy system using the Ion platform to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. This cutting-edge technology offers high-definition visualization and precision for less invasive lung tissue biopsies, allowing specialists to navigate complex bronchial passages more effectively.
In November 2023, Broncus Holding Corporation, a China-based medical device healthcare technology company, acquired a 100% stake in Hangzhou Jingliang Science and Technology Co., Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Broncus seeks to strengthen its technological capabilities by combining Jingliang’s expertise in robotics and intelligent medical device manufacturing, supporting faster development of flexible transbronchial surgical robots for interventional pulmonology. Hangzhou Jingliang Science and Technology Co., Ltd., also based in China, supplies bronchoscopes and other medical devices.
Major companies operating in the bronchoscope market are Olympus Corporation, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, Ambu A/S, Karl Storz Endoscopy SE & Co. KG, Richard Wolf GmbH, Medtronic plc, Boston Scientific Corporation, Cook Medical LLC, Teleflex Incorporated, CONMED Corporation, Stryker Corporation, Verathon Inc., SonoScape Medical Corp., Shanghai AoHua Photoelectricity Endoscope Co. Ltd., EFER Endoscopy Srl, Novatech SA, Smiths Medical, Laborie Medical Technologies, Clarus Medical, Nihon Kohden Corporation.
North America was the largest region in the bronchoscope market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the bronchoscope market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the bronchoscope market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.
Tariffs are impacting the bronchoscope market by increasing costs of imported optical components, imaging sensors, electronic modules, and medical-grade plastics used in flexible and disposable bronchoscopes. Hospitals and surgical centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported endoscopic devices, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on manufacturing exports. These tariffs are increasing procurement costs and slowing equipment replacement cycles. However, they are also encouraging local assembly, regional supplier diversification, and innovation in cost-efficient bronchoscopy solutions.

A bronchoscope is a vital medical instrument employed to visually examine the lungs and airways. It comprises a flexible or rigid tube equipped with a camera and light source at its tip, enabling physicians to observe the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. This device serves both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, facilitating procedures such as tissue biopsy, foreign object removal, and various airway medical interventions.
Two primary variants of bronchoscopes exist, rigid and flexible. Rigid bronchoscopes, crafted from metal and composed of handles, tubes, and sheaths, find application in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions. They are instrumental in procedures including foreign body extraction, tumor excision, stent insertion, biopsy, hemostasis, and laser therapy. Bronchoscopes come in reusable and disposable forms, catering to diagnostic and treatment needs across hospital settings, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and similar medical facilities.
The bronchoscope market consists of sales of fiber optic bronchoscopes and video bronchoscopes. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).
The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced. It does not include revenues from resales along the supply chain, either further along the supply chain or as part of other products.
