Robotic Endoscopy Devices Global Market Report 2024

The robotic endoscopy devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.14 billion in 2023 to $2.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1%. The expansion during the historical period can be attributed to the aging population, an increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, rising awareness of early disease detection, regulatory approvals, and the growing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders.

The robotic endoscopy devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of robotic surgery applications, the rising demand for remote surgery capabilities, increasing healthcare expenditure, growing adoption of endoscopic procedures, and a surge in the global patient base for endoscopy. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the development of flexible robotic endoscopy devices, the integration of machine learning in endoscopic diagnostics, the emergence of capsule endoscopy technology, a focus on disposable endoscopy devices, and an increasing use of robotics in therapeutic endoscopy.

The projected increase in robotic surgery procedures is poised to drive the growth of the robotic endoscopy device market. Robotic surgery, an advanced technique utilizing robotic systems to assist surgeons during procedures, finds extensive application in endoscopy. These robotic devices enhance maneuverability and efficiency, simplifying intricate processes by improving visualization, exposure, and tissue manipulation. Notably, in January 2022, Intuitive, a US-based robotic surgery company, reported a 28% increase in the total number of surgical procedures performed using its Da Vinci robotic surgery systems, reaching 1,594,000 procedures in 2021 compared to 1,243,000 procedures in 2020. This surge in robotic surgery procedures is a key driver propelling the robotic endoscopy device market.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, particularly inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is anticipated to fuel the growth of the robotic endoscopy devices market. IBD, characterized by chronic inflammation affecting the gastrointestinal tract, necessitates endoscopic procedures for evaluation, therapy planning, and ongoing monitoring. As of January 2022, Crohn’s & Colitis Australia estimated that approximately 100,000 to 160,000 people in Australia are expected to be living with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases, such as IBD, is a significant factor contributing to the expansion of the robotic endoscopy devices market.

Innovations in products stand out as a prominent trend in the robotic endoscopy device market, with major companies introducing advanced technologies to maintain their market positions. A notable example is Virtuoso Surgical, a US-based manufacturer, launching a new robotic surgery system in May 2023. This revolutionary technology enables surgeons to make dexterous movements at the end of an endoscope using two hands. The system features a rigid endoscope tip with two robotically operated, needle-sized manipulators, significantly reducing the diameter compared to conventional robotic endoscopes.

Major players in the robotic endoscopy device market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to enhance their Revo-i surgical robot. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging strengths and resources for mutual benefits and success. In November 2022, meerecompany, a South Korea-based surgical robot manufacturing company, announced a partnership with the Robot Endoscopy Surgery Center at Severance Hospital in South Korea. The collaboration aims to allow medical professionals to experience the Revo-i systematic training and education program physically. This partnership includes the founding and operation of the Revo-i surgical robot learning and support center, the development and supervision of the Revo-i surgical robot training and education program, and product assessment and education for enhancing medical device functionality.

In April 2023, Boston Scientific, a US-based biomedical engineering company, acquired Apollo Endosurgery for $615 million. This strategic acquisition aligns with Boston Scientific’s objectives to enhance its product offerings in endoluminal surgery procedures and endo-bariatric solutions. Apollo Endosurgery, a US-based manufacturer of endoscopy devices and solutions, complements Boston Scientific's expansion plans in the endoscopy market.
