Global Endoscope Reprocessing Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global endoscope reprocessing market size reached US$ 2.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 3.2 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.15% during 2022-2028.

Endoscopes are used in the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. However, the risk of infection transmission associated with endoscopes is usually high due to their complex structure and diverse use in medical procedures. As a result, health agencies of several countries have implemented strict endoscope reprocessing protocols to improve safety and reduce the spread of infections. These protocols ensure that endoscopes undergo various steps of meticulous cleaning and disinfection before being reused on patients. Moreover, several manufacturers are introducing automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) for consistent, accurate, and cost-effective operation. AERs help kill microorganisms on reusable endoscopes by exposing their outside surfaces and interior channels to high-level disinfectant or liquid chemical sterilant solutions.

Endoscope Reprocessing Market Trends

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has led to an increase in the number of people experiencing various GI symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. This, along with the mortality risk associated with GI diseases, is positively influencing the need for endoscopy procedures across the globe to improve patient safety. Apart from this, the growing pediatric population, which is relatively more vulnerable to targeted diseases, is driving the demand for flexible endoscopes to diagnose and treat cancer and GI disorders. In addition, endoscopy devices are used to investigate unusual symptoms like dysphagia, diarrhea, weight loss, heartburn, and stool blood, which is propelling the adoption of endoscope reprocessing to prevent the risk of infection. Moreover, health agencies are conducting facility-level training programs to assist healthcare institutions in achieving a reliable, high-quality reprocessing of endoscopes. This, in confluence with the increasing focus on improving reprocessing guidelines, is anticipated to fuel the growth of the market.
