Global Endoscopes Market by Product (Flexible Endoscopes, Disposable Endoscopes) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028

Summary of the Report

Global endoscopes sales were valued at USD 11.6 million in 2020. This market is expected to grow at a 9.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2021 and 2028. Market growth is driven by increasing awareness about the advantages of minimally-invasive surgeries compared to open invasive surgery and rising incidence of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. The key trends driving the market for endoscopes include technological advances in endoscopes, as well as increasing use of endoscopes in different diagnosis and treatment processes. Minimally invasive surgery is driving the use of many endoscopic procedures such as proctoscopy and cystoscopy for diagnosis.

Minimally invasive surgery requires fewer incisions. This gives them many advantages such as reduced pain, minimal/minimal or no risk of complications and a faster recovery time than open surgery. Minimally invasive procedures are also affordable and cost-effective, which can lead to a better quality of life. The market will be driven by this shift to minimally invasive surgeries from open surgery.

The market will also be fueled by the rise of bariatric surgery with the aid of endoscopes such as endoscopic sleeves gastroplasty. Endoscopic bariatric procedures use sutures to repair the stomach and reduce stomach size by approximately 70%. This is expected to increase the demand for endoscopes.

The rising obesity rate is another factor that has boosted the popularity of bariatric surgery. According to estimates by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the obesity rate is expected to increase significantly by 2030. The highest obesity rates have been reported in the U.S.A, Mexico, and England. Nearly 47%, 39% and 35% respectively of the U.S. population are expected to be obese by 2030. This will increase demand for bariatric surgery, which is expected to propel the market growth.

Endoscopes are being used to diagnose and treat cancer. According to Globocan 2020, there have been 19.3 million new cases of cancer worldwide. The rising incidence of cancer will likely increase the need for biopsies to diagnose it. Endoscopy for biopsy and endoscopic ultrasound are the most preferred methods for diagnosing cancer. Market growth is expected to be driven by an increase in demand for diagnostic endoscopic procedures during the forecast period.

Market impact of COVID-19 endoscopes: 1.7% decline in revenue growth between 2019 and 2020

The market for endoscopes has also been affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Market conditions have been severely affected by the postponement of elective surgery and the decrease in elective surgeries during the pandemic. Market growth was also hampered by changes in regulations to reduce the spread of the virus and disruptions to the supply chain. A multicenter survey in Northern Italy, 2020 showed that almost all patients were exposed to COVID-19 in endoscopy units at different hospitals. The survey found that 40 of the 41 participating endoscopy centres (97.6%) reported an increase in endoscopic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Product Insights

Flexible endoscopes held a dominant position in the market, accounting for 47.9% of all sales in 2020. Flexible endoscopes dominated the market with a share of 47.9% in 2020. This can be attributed to medical professionals' growing preference for them, technological advances, improved safety and efficiency, as well as ergonomic features. These endoscopes can also be used in many procedures such as colonoscopy and bronchoscopy. This has increased their popularity, fuelling the segment's growth.

The disposable otoscopes segment will grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. The key factors driving the segment's growth include the increased risk of infection from conventional reusable endoscopes as well as technological advances and the introduction of new products. The COVID-19 pandemic, which saw the rise in disposable endoscopes, has also aided in the adoption of these endoscopes. These endoscopes can be used via airborne routes to reduce the risk of contamination.

Application Insights

The largest revenue share, 52.0%, was attributed to GI endoscopy in 2020. This is due to the increasing geriatric population as well as the rising incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. The segment is also driven by an increase in gastroscopy, the use of endoscopes to diagnose and treat GI diseases, as well as the availability of advanced gastroscopy products.

Over the forecast period, the highest CAGR is expected for the urology segment. Demand for urology endsoscopy is expected to rise due to the growing number of urology procedures and increasing incidence of urologic carcinomas. A subsequent rise in the treatment rate will also be expected to increase the use of endoscopic devices in urologic surgery, which should propel the segment's growth.

End-use Insights

Hospitals accounted for 47.9% of the total revenue in 2020. This was due to favorable reimbursement policies as well as a high adoption and use of endoscopes within hospital systems. Hospitals are often the first health system in most countries. Therefore, the number of procedures performed in hospitals is higher than in any other health system. This is one key factor that has boosted the growth of this segment.

Over the forecast period, the highest CAGR is expected for the ambulatory surgical center/clinics segment. The demand for ambulatory surgical procedures or surgeries in clinics and ambulatory surgical centers has been supported by the following factors: a shorter time to perform endoscopy, less discomfort from keyhole surgery, and a quicker time to recover. This will positively impact the segment's growth. A smaller number of hospital stays will also increase demand for endoscopes in the ambulatory center.

Regional Insights

North America was the dominant market in the global market, with 42.0% of the revenue in 2020. This is due to improved healthcare infrastructure, rising adoption of advanced technology, and a growing preference for minimally invasive surgery to reduce healthcare spending. The market's growth is also driven by the rising incidence of cancer and gastrointestinal disorders in the region. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), approximately 1,806,590 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the U.S. by 2020.

Due to the demand for endoscopic technology in Asia Pacific, the region will experience a significant growth rate over the forecast period. The region's market growth is also due to improvements in health infrastructure and a growing geriatric population. The region's economic growth is also a major factor in attracting foreign investment. Market growth is supported by the presence of important players in the region.
