The global disposable endoscopes market size is estimated to reach USD 5.64 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising demand for single-use endoscopes to eliminate risk of device-related infection is a key factor driving the global market growth. Moreover, market growth is driven by growing preference of patients for minimally invasive procedures, supportive regulatory framework, and favorable reimbursement policies in developed nations. Furthermore, increasing investments, funds, and grants from governments & organizations dedicated to enhancing healthcare infrastructure and advancing research in endoscopy are contributing to market growth.
The incidence of nosocomial infections is increasing due to contaminated endoscopes, a major factor driving the demand for disposable endoscopes in the market. According to the American Journal of Infection Control, in March 2018, nearly 49% of the endoscopes retained moisture during reprocessing. In addition, 71% of microbial growth was detected in endoscope samples, increasing the risk of infections in patients. Reusable endoscopes pose a high risk of contamination from microorganisms, blood, and body secretions during use. These transmissions mainly occur due to endoscopic reprocessing failures, noncompliance with regulatory guidelines, and the use of defective equipment.
Technological advancements significantly impacted the field of disposable endoscopic devices, driving innovation and improving patient care. These advancements have led to the development of more advanced and sophisticated disposable endoscopes, offering enhanced imaging capabilities, improved maneuverability, and ease of use. For instance, integrating high-definition cameras and advanced optics resulted in sharper & clearer images, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment.
The miniaturization of components created smaller and more flexible endoscopes, enabling easier access to narrow & complex anatomical structures. Moreover, advancements in materials and manufacturing techniques led to the production of disposable endoscopic devices that are cost-effective, reliable, and safe for patients.
