Global Urological Endoscope Market Trends
Increased demand for single-use endoscopes due to concerns over infection control and cross-contamination, which was heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Uncertainty remains over cost-effectiveness of single-use vs. reusable endoscopes. Single-use devices offer infection prevention benefits, while reusable scopes can be more cost-effective with proper sterilization.
Technological advancements in imaging, including digital flexible endoscopes, are improving the quality and efficiency of urological procedures.
Growing adoption of minimally invasive procedures is driving demand for flexible endoscopes, particularly in ureteroscopy and cystoscopy.
