Disposable Endoscopes Market Dynamics:

The disposable endoscopes market is experiencing increasing product demand due to a variety of factors. One of the important factors is the rising adoption of technologically advanced single-use endoscopes owing to their advantages over the reusable endoscopes. The rising issue of cross-contamination in reusable endoscopes is one of the major factors expected to drive market growth. Moreover, reprocessing of the reusable endoscopes has been a hindrance to patient safety. Also, rise in infection caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella species, Enterobacteriaceae, and other dangerous microorganisms transferred between endoscopic procedures have become more prevalent in recent years while using conventional reusable endoscopes. According to a study published in the year 2018, approximately 71% of the fully reprocessed endoscopes had presence of microbial growth in them. Furthermore, recommendation by government authorities to use disposable endoscopes to lower the risk of transmission of various infection is also expected to increase the market for single use endoscopes. For instance, in the year 2019, FDA recommended to health care facilities and manufacturers begin transitioning to duodenoscopes with disposable components to reduce risk of patient infection. In addition, advantages such as lower risk of damage, time efficiency offered by the single use endoscope, among others is likely to propel the single-use endoscopes demand in the forthcoming years. Therefore, owing to the rising adoption of technologically advanced single-use endoscopes and their advantages when compared with the reusable endoscopes, will contribute in the growth of the disposable endoscopes market during the forecast period from 2021-2026.

Moreover, another key factor responsible for driving the demand for disposable endoscopes is the rising prevalence of various disorders associated with gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, urinary tract among others. For instance, according to the University of Gothenburg 2021, in the year 2020, for every ten adults in the world, four tend to suffer from functional gastrointestinal disorders of varying severity. Additionally, as per the World Health Organization 2022, in 2020 approximately 235 million individuals were suffering from asthma, a common disease in children. Therefore, owing to the rising prevalence of various disorders such as gastrointestinal tract or respiratory disorders, there will be a rise in the demand of disposable endoscopes as several disorders will require severe imaging, thereby contributing to the overall increase in the disposable endoscopes market growth during the forecasting period of 2021-26.

However, various disposable endoscopes might lead to accumulation of a lot of medical waste, thus leading to a threat in the environment, leading to hindrance in the disposable endoscopes market growth.

The disposable endoscopes market has experienced a period of temporary recession as lockdown restrictions have been enforced as a necessary step to curb the spread of COVID-19 infections. One of the major impacts of lockdowns were observed in the disruption of production process and supply chains across the globe. Along with this, the significant decrease in the medical procedures due to prioritizing of COVID-19 infection-associated patient load, there was a striking decrease in the product demand because of that. However, the disposable endoscopes market is in the recovery stage, with numerous COVID-19 vaccines being approved and administered worldwide, and activities have begun in various areas such as medical services thereby presenting a positive growth environment for the disposable endoscopes market.
