Growing awareness levels about minimally invasive surgical procedures and the increasing prevalence of chronic disorders are the major factors accelerating the market growth. The benefits, such as less surgery-related blood loss, no muscle cutting, quicker recovery, offered by minimally invasive surgeries boost the adoption of endoscopic procedures over traditional/open invasive surgeries.

These devices are most commonly used in several endoscopic procedures, such as esophagogast roduodenoscopy (OGD), bronchoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, laryngoscopy, pharyngoscopy, nasopharyngoscopy, rhinoscopy, and colonoscopy procedures, which supports the product demand and segment growth.Based on application, in 2021, the Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy segment dominated the market owing to an increase in gastrointestinal disorders and a high preference for minimally invasive procedures. High volumes of GI endoscopic procedures and the availability of technologically advanced endoscopes to treat &diagnose functional gastrointestinal disorders are also driving the segment.
In 2021, the hospitals end-use segment dominated the market owing to favorable reimbursement policies and growing utilization of endoscopes in hospital systems. Furthermore, a larger number of endoscopic procedures is performed in hospital settings as compared to other healthcare systems, which boosts the segment growth.In addition, North America accounted for the highest revenue share in 2021 owing to its better healthcare infrastructure, high preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures among individuals, and quickadoption of advanced technologies. The increasing burden of functional gastrointestinal disorders and cancer is anticipated to further propel market growth in this region.

The overall decrease in the number of surgical procedures during COVID-19, in turn, impacted the growth of the market. Furthermore, to reduce the COVID-19 transmission risk, endoscopy centers have postponed and canceled the semi-urgent and elective cases, which affected the endoscopy procedure adoption in 2020.In addition, supply chain interruptions due to constant lockdown and shutdown imposed by the governments of top countries all over the globe also hampered the market growth in 2020. For instance, a study published in the Arab Journal of Gastroenterology in 2020stated that the endoscopy procedures volume decreased about 50% due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the majority of countries.
