The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has slightly impacted the market for endoscopy cameras. 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. The production of a majority of medical devices was shut down. 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 endoscopy cameras market has picked momentum.
Endoscopy Cameras Market Segment Analysis:
Endoscopy Cameras by Sensor Type (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor [CMOS] and Charge-Coupled Device [CCD]), by Application Type (Gastroenterology, Urology, Gynecology, Cardiology, ENT Surgery, and Others), by End User (Hospitals & Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others) and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)
In the Application Type segment of the Endoscopy Cameras market, the gastroenterology is estimated to hold a significant share in the endoscopy cameras market in the year 2021. This can be ascribed to the various advantages associated with the category.
The demand for gastroenterology is expected to increase during the forecast period.
