According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2021, estimated that the number of adults with diagnosed gastrointestinal ulcers was 14.8 million in 2020. Gastorintetinal ulcers includes peptic ulcers, esophageal ulcer, ulcerative colitis and many more. According to American Cancer Society 2022, it was estimated that about 20,640 new esophageal cancer cases were diagnosed with 16,510 in men and 4,130 in women in past year. The diagnosis of esophageal cancer is done by upper endoscopy. The prevalence of esophageal cancer is higher, owing to propel the market of endoscopes.
Another factor which will affect the market in forecasting period is increasing number of geriatric population. According to WHO, in 2019, the number of people aged 60 years and older was 1 billion. This number is expected to increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050. This increase is occurring at an unprecedented pace and is expected to accelerate in coming decades, particularly in developing countries. The possibility of having a chronic disorder or cancer is higher in the older age, so as the number of geriatric population is increasing, this will increase the probability of increasing prevalence of a chronic ailment in geriatric population thereby owing to increase the product demand in the market.
Also, the increaseing awareness and demand of minimally invasive surgery and of no or less blood surgery will bolster the market of endoscopes.
Thus, due to the increasing utilization of endoscopes in various areas of application, there will be a rising demand for endoscopes, in turn increasing the endoscopes market growth.
However, problems in handling of the advanced endoscopes, less knowledge about operating the endoscopes in rural or under-developing area and high cost of new generation instruments may be certain limiting factors of the endoscopes market growth.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has slightly impacted the market for endoscopes. At the onset of the disease, there was a significant shortage, attributed to the imposition of stringent lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus. Hospital admissions for patients suffering from cancers and other chronic disorders were not a priority in comparison to the patients suffering from coronavirus. Production of some medical devices was shutdown. Furthermore, surgeries were temporarily stopped during the pandemic. To reduce the COVID-19 transmission risk, endoscopy centers have postponed and canceled the semi-urgent and elective cases. However, with masses being vaccinated, the endoscopes market has picked momentum.
Endoscopes Market Segment Analysis:
Endoscopes Market by Flexibity Type (Flexible and Rigid), by Disposability Type (Disposable and Reusable), by Product Type (Coventional [Bronchoscopes, Duedonescopes, Colonscopes, Cystoscopes, Rhinoscopes, and Others] And Non-Conventional [Capsule Endoscopes and Robort-Assisted Endoscopes]), by Application Type (Gastrointestinal, ENT, Oncology, Respiratory, Gynacology, Urology and Others), by End-User (Hospitals And Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers and Other) and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)
In the Application Type segment of the Endoscopes market, the Gastrointestinal endoscopy are estimated to hold a significant share in the Endoscopes market during the forecast period (2022-2027). This can be ascribed to the various advantages that are associated with these devices.
The demand for gastrointestinal endoscopes is expected to increase during the forecast period. This is owing to the rising prevalence of chronic disease such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is a group of disorder accompanied with chronic inflammation – pain and swelling – in intestine. IBD includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021, a study concluded that the prevalence of IBD increased from 2001 to 2018 among all race and ethnicity groups, with a higher increase rate among non-Hispanic Black adults. It is estimated that the prevalence of IBD among U.S. population will rise to around 3.5 million by 2030, accounting for market growth of endoscopes.
Endoscopes also comprise technological advancements that enable the long and thin tube of endoscopes to enter the body through natural opening like mouth or by minimal by producing minimal cut in the body. These advancements increases the application of early diagnosis and treatment. According to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, 300,000 Canadians are having IBD. By 2030, the number of Canadians with IBD is expected to rise to 400,000 (approximately 1% of the population). Peope with age 65 years or above are calculated as the fastest growing group of Canadians with IBD. As per the same source, there are over 7,000 Canadian children - under age 18 - living with Crohn’s or colitis. The prevalence of the above disorders can be controlled by encouraging and implementing the early diagnosis of these chronic disorders using endoscopes, thereby bolstering the market of endoscopes.
Thus, owing to the technological advancements in the area of endoscopes, there will be an increase in the demand for gastrointestinal endoscopes, which in turn will drive the endoscopes market growth.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Endoscopes Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to account for the largest share in the global Endoscopes market.
