Endoscopy Devices Market Summary

Furthermore, a shift in trend to use disposable endoscopic components to minimize the procedure cost as well as the chance of cross-contamination is also expected to accelerate market growth over the years. In addition, the growing chronic disease burden and increasing geriatric population all over the globe are also anticipated to fuel the adoption of advanced endoscopic devices such as wireless capsule endoscopy and high-definition camera & camera systems during the coming years. Moreover, growing medical conditions due to the increasing geriatric population often require endoscopic intervention such as liver abscess, gall stones, endometriosis, and intestinal perforation, which in turn anticipated to drive the market for endoscopy devices over the forecast years. For instance, as per the Administration on Aging (AoA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report, about 16% of the population were aged above 65 years during 2019. This number is expected to increase to 21.6% by 2040.

In addition, increasing preference by medical professionals to use technologically advanced endoscopy devices equipped with a high-definition camera and light sources to help physicians analyze internal organs of interest also drives the market. For example, Stryker, Olympus Corporation, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation are some of the key pioneers in high-definition camera systems. The shift of preference towards minimally invasive surgical procedures than traditional surgeries to reduce hospital stay and minimize post-procedure complications are the major factors anticipated to fuel the demand for endoscopy devices. Hence, factors such as higher patient satisfaction, increased economic viability, and lesser hospital stay are expected to increase the demand for minimally invasive endoscopic interventions in the coming years, thereby accelerating market growth.

Furthermore, the growing burden of cancer all over the world also fuels the adoption of endoscopy devices for the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. For instance, according to the Cancer Progress Report 2023 released by the American Cancer Society, in 2023, around 2.0 million new cancer cases were diagnosed in the U.S., and 609,820 individuals succumbed to it. Projections indicate that by 2040, the number of new cancer cases could reach 2.3 million. In addition, the increasing preference for biopsies for diagnosis and detection of cancer in recent years is also likely to increase the adoption of endoscopic devices, which in turn is anticipated to drive the market for endoscopy devices over the years.

Technological advancement to develop innovative endoscopic devices is also anticipated to accelerate market growth during forecast periods. The key manufacturers are continuously looking forward to innovating advanced endoscopic solutions for better treatment and diagnosis of several chronic disorders. For instance, in August 2021, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation announced the commercial launch of the ELUXEO 7000X endoscopic Imaging System. This advanced imaging system enables real-time visualization of hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO2) levels in tissue during laparoscopic and/or endoluminal imaging procedures.

In addition, the endoscopy devices market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The reduction and postponement of elective surgeries due to the fear of COVID-19 infection have negatively impacted the growth of the market for endoscopy devices. In addition, supply chain disruptions and changing regulations for surgical procedures are some of the factors also hampered market growth in 2020. For instance, according to an international study published in the Arab Journal of Gastroenterology, Elsevier in 2020, the endoscopic procedure volume was reduced by over 50% of the 85% of the responded countries all over the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

The global endoscopy devices market is characterized by rapid innovation, with advanced technologies and methods being introduced. For instance, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in many gastroenterology fields is becoming more widespread, especially in endoscopic image processing. These significant technological advancements are anticipated to bolster the endoscopic market growth rate.

Several key market players are devising business growth strategies in the form of mergers and acquisitions. Through M&A activity, these companies can expand their business geographies. For instance, in October 2023, Ambu announced the CE mark approval and launch of its aScope 5 Cysto HD, an HD cystoscope, combined with the Ambu aView 2 Advance, a full-HD endoscopy system.

Companies actively invest resources in clinical trials and regulatory submissions to obtain regulatory approval for novel products. This may result in increasing the cost of developing novel endoscopic technologies. For instance, the European Union (EU) has recently imposed laws and guidelines that can affect Endoscopists and patients. The new regulations raise the requirement for clinical trials and observational studies for both new and existing endoscopic device uses to assure therapeutic benefit and minimize patient damage.

A wide range of product substitutes are available, as endoscopic devices are a rapidly evolving field in healthcare. For instance, the conventional endoscope can be replaced by an innovative capsule endoscopy technology. Three technological developments have been necessary for the development of the capsule endoscope are powerful, compact camera systems that are only a few millimeters in size, wireless technology that allows camera images to be transmitted in real-time, and sensor or actuator systems that allow intuitive control of the capsule inside the body.

Several market players are expanding their business by entering new geographical regions to strengthen their market position and expand their product portfolio. Rising funding creates more opportunities for market players to enter new regions. In July 2024, FUJIFILM India expanded its service network by inaugurating its second-largest service center in Mumbai. This new center focuses on expediting the repair of its bronchoscopes, high-end processors, and gastroscopes, leading to faster turnaround times & better service throughout India.
