The global endoscopy devices market size was valued at USD 5,952.74 million in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.17%, accounting for USD 10,554.35 million in 2030. Factors such as increasing prevalence of minimally invasive surgeries and advances in technology, significantly drives the endoscopy devices market demand by 2030.

Endoscopy devices are medical instruments used by doctors to visualize internal organs of the body. An endoscopy device consists of a rigid or flexible tube, light system, lens, eyepiece, camera, and an additional channel for other medical instruments. Philipp Bozzini developed the first endoscopy in 1806. Recently several companies have launched new products and received FDA approvals. 

Endoscopy devices are used to diagnose or treat diseases or disorders like irritable bowel, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcer, tumors, infections, blockage, hiatal hernia, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), etc. Increasing chronic diseases, the need for minimally invasive procedures, and technological advancement contribute to the increase in the adaption of endoscopy devices. The market is segmented into device type, application, and regions.

In the upcoming years, it is also anticipated that the prevalence of chronic diseases and the aging population will accelerate the use of endoscopic devices. Additionally, growing medical conditions from an aging population, such as liver abscesses, gallstones, endometriosis, and intestinal perforation, frequently call for endoscopic intervention. These conditions are predicted to drive the market for endoscopy devices over the ensuing years. For instance, according to a report from the Administration on Aging (AoA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 16% of the population was over 65 in 2019. By 2040, this figure is anticipated to reach 21.6%.

 


Market Dynamics

Endoscopy Devices Market Drivers

Prevalence of Minimally Invasive Surgeries

Minimal invasive surgery offers several benefits, such as minimal cuts or stitches, low painkiller doses, shorter recovery time, less pain, and less postoperative care. Endoscopy is known to have less postoperative pain, requiring a low dosage of painkillers. Also, the recovery time after the procedure is less, and the scaring is minimal. The endoscopic approach avoids long incisions, which is required in traditional open surgery. The healing time hence needed is also short. This has boosted the demand for minimally invasive surgeries among the patient population. 

Olympus Global Integrated Report 2021 reported that the endoscopic solutions-based revenue was USD 61.72 billion. International organizations, such as the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) and the International Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy (ISGE), are collaborating with healthcare agencies in South Africa to create awareness about the benefits of MIS and improve the adoption rate, which may boost the market in the upcoming years.

Advances in Technology

Increasing demand for advanced and economical procedures encourages newer technologies and development in endoscopy devices, surging its market. Endoscopy is known predominantly for treating Gastrointestinal Diseases. Endoscopic technique has evolved into various approaches such as esophagogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and advanced imaging technology, including endoscopic ultrasonography, wireless capsule endoscopy, and double-balloon enterostomy. The doctors use these techniques for diagnosis and treatment. High efficacy and broader application of this approach for diagnosing various diseases are major reasons for the surging endoscopy devices market growth. 

Endoscopy Devices Market Restraints

Recalling of Endoscopy Devices and Lack of Skilled Technicians

Sudden product withdrawal from the market creates a nick in consumer trust, leading to a decline in sales. FDA is investigating reprocessed endoscopes due to patient infections and possible contamination issues. For instance, in November 2021, FDA recalled a duodenoscope, an endoscope manufactured by Olympus Corporation. It was recalled because the use of a TJF-Q180V with adhesive deterioration or other damages might pose a risk of endoscope contamination. This might be due to ineffective reprocessing or fluid invasion, and since contaminated endoscopes can cause infection risk to patients, the product was recalled. 

Moreover, the lack of skilled technicians is the major restraining factor for the growth of the endoscopy devices market. Low preference for medicine as a career choice is predicted to cause a low medical workforce. Lack of knowledge of professional lab opportunities is also a reason for the shortage of the healthcare workforce. Even though there is an availability of endoscopy devices, the level of sedation with newer techniques is limited to a technician's skill level.
