An endoscope is a tool that is put into the body to inspect internal vessels and organs. While the method involved is called endoscopy, it helps to avoid larger incisions in the human body. An endoscope is a flexible tube with a camera attached. The tube is put into the body by any entrance, including the mouth. The growing senior population, which suffers from a variety of chronic ailments such as cancer, orthopaedic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and ophthalmic disorders, is driving up the demand for endoscopic therapy among patients who do not want any undesired incisions on their bodies.

Drivers: The prevalence of functional gastrointestinal diseases is rising. The increasing prevalence of functional gastrointestinal problems is projected to increase the use of endoscopes and drive market expansion. People with functional gastrointestinal problems are more likely to develop diseases such as functional constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and functional dyspepsia, which will increase demand for endoscopic equipment and fuel market expansion. Patients suffering from functional gastrointestinal diseases will observe a rapid improvement in their health as a result of endoscopic use.

Challenges: Lack of qualified medical professionals

There is a global lack of endoscopy physicians, which is limiting market expansion. Endoscopy procedures must be performed by trained physicians and specialists in order to prevent the transmission of infection. The global lack of specialists and nurses is expected to have an impact on a variety of endoscopic operations. This is becoming a barrier to the growth of the endoscope market.

Market Trends: The market is growing due to new designs for endoscopes, an increase in single-use procedures, the rise of robotic-assisted endoscopy, and more artificial intelligence in healthcare. There is also a heightened concern about cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), which has increased the demand for single-use endoscopes. These scopes reduce the risk of infections compared to reusable ones, and they are becoming popular in areas like bronchoscopy and urology, with companies like Ambu and Boston Scientific leading production. Capsule endoscopes with built-in cameras are now important for diagnosing small bowel issues like Crohn's disease and obscure bleeding. This method is more comfortable for patients compared to traditional methods. Technology improvements, such as AI-driven data transfer, enhance efficiency and accuracy, making capsule endoscopy especially beneficial for patients who can't use standard procedures.

Olympus Corporation, Boston Scientific Corporation, PENTAX Medical (Hoya Corporation), FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, Karl Storz GmbH & Co.
