The disposable endoscopes market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.24 billion in 2025 to $2.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing concerns over hospital-acquired infections, growing use of minimally invasive procedures, expansion of outpatient surgical centers, rising demand for flexible endoscopy solutions, limitations of reusable device reprocessing.
The disposable endoscopes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.79 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulatory focus on patient safety, rising adoption of cost-predictable disposable devices, expansion of single-use technologies across specialties, growing investments in minimally invasive diagnostics, increasing demand for rapid procedure turnaround. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of single-use endoscopic devices, rising demand for infection prevention solutions, growing use of disposable ureteroscopes and bronchoscopes, expansion of portable visualization systems, enhanced focus on workflow efficiency.
The rising prevalence of cancer is expected to drive the growth of the disposable endoscopes market. Cancer comprises a complex group of diseases marked by the uncontrolled growth and division of abnormal cells. Disposable endoscopes offer high-quality imaging capabilities that enable more accurate visualization during endoscopic procedures, supporting the detection of cancerous lesions or abnormalities within the gastrointestinal tract. For example, in February 2024, according to the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, new cancer cases are projected to surpass 35 million by 2050, representing a 77% increase compared to the approximately 20 million cases reported in 2022. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of cancer is contributing to the growth of the disposable endoscopes market.
Major companies operating in the disposable endoscopes market are emphasizing the development of innovative products, such as single-use bronchoscopes, to maintain their competitive position. Single-use bronchoscopes are medical devices intended for one-time use on a single patient, helping to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and improve patient safety. For example, in January 2025, Boston Scientific, a US-based medical device company, introduced the EXALT Model D Bronch single-use bronchoscope. The EXALT Model D offers high-definition imaging for enhanced visualization, improved suction capability, and a slim, flexible insertion tube to support better maneuverability. Its ergonomic design and intuitive controls enable healthcare providers to streamline procedures, reduce setup and reprocessing time, and enhance efficiency within bronchoscopy workflows.
In February 2025, Micro-Tech (Nanjing) Co., Ltd., a China-based manufacturer of endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices, acquired a 51% stake in Creo Medical S.L.U. (CME) for approximately $42.5 million. Through this acquisition, Micro-Tech seeks to strengthen its position in the global disposable and therapeutic endoscopy market by leveraging CME’s established presence in Western Europe to broaden sales channels for its endoscopic consumables and single-use endoscopy products, expand distribution of Creo’s minimally invasive endoscopy portfolio, and accelerate growth across key segments such as gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology, and single-use scopes within European markets. Creo Medical S.L.U. (CME) is a Spain-based medical device company specializing in endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery products, including endoscopic consumables and single-use endoscopes, and serves hospitals and clinics throughout the UK and continental Europe.
