Global endoscopy visualization system market was valued at USD 21.55 billion in 2020. It is expected to grow at a 7.0% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2021 and 2028. Endoscopy can be used to examine the internal organs of the body. It is minimally invasive. Advanced technologies allow for superior image quality which is why they are very useful in the medical field. Endoscopic procedures have become a useful adjunctive tool in many medical specialties, including general surgery, gastrointestinal and urology. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that approximately 494,000 hysterectomies take place in the United States each year. Around 80.0% of these surgeries are performed robotically or laparoscopically. Market growth is being driven by the shift to minimally invasive surgery and rising incidence of cancer.
Market growth is expected to be driven by the rising incidence of colorectal, gastrointestinal, pancreatic abnormalities and urological, gender-related, and respiratory diseases. According to the World Cancer Research Fund colorectal carcinoma is the third most common type of cancer in men, and the second most common among women. According to the WHO, there will be 1.51 million new cases of colon cancer by 2030, up from 1.15 million in 2020. This will increase the demand for endoscopy procedures over the next few years. In addition to this, an increasing number of elderly people will require endoscopic procedures. According to the United Nations estimate, the number 65-year-olds will increase from 703 million to 1.5 billion in 2050 to 1.5 billion by 2050. This will drive the market for endoscopy visualization system over the forecast period.
Endoscopic procedures have many advantages over open-invasive surgery. These procedures offer better outcomes due to shorter recovery times, lower hospital stays, less complications, and smaller incisions. This is why minimally invasive endoscopy has been growing in popularity. An article in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (an official publication of American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy), states that over 17.7 million procedures are performed annually in the United States. This is 5.6% of the U.S. populace. The market for endoscopy visualization devices is expected to grow due to a substantial increase in minimally invasive procedures and the rising cost burden from cancer. Active government support for less invasive surgery in outpatient settings will likely propel the market's growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused severe disruption to the healthcare industry. Global sales of medical devices have declined due to the pandemic. Endoscopy visualization systems have suffered from the cancellation and postponement of elective, non-urgent procedures. According to PubMed's study on the effects of COVID-19 in France on gastrointestinal endoscopy, more than 98.7% had to cancel their endoscopic procedures by March 2020. The American College of Gastroenterology announced in April 2020 that elective endoscopy would be suspended. The Canadian Association of Gastroenterology also published guidelines for hospitals that provide endoscopy services. The strict protocols that are imposed on endoscopy centers will likely further reduce the volume of surgery. Due to restrictive government measures, manufacturers, vendors, and distributors in the market are still being affected. Other than this, many government-sponsored cancer screening programs and initiatives were stopped or canceled. The pandemic has led to a greater focus on single-use endoscopes because they offer better infection control.
COVID-19: Impact |
Beyond COVID-19 |
From 2019 to 2020, the market for endoscopy visualization system decreased by 4.5% |
Market growth is expected to be between 6% and 7% over the next five years. |
This decline is mainly due to supply chain disruptions, delay or cancellation of non-emergency and elective surgical procedures. |
Due to the normalization of regulations in many countries and re-initiation elective procedures, endoscopy visualization system components as well as their components will likely grow at a significant rate following the pandemic. |
A PubMed study on the effects of COVID-19 in France on gastroenterology in France found that over 98.7% had to cancel endoscopic procedures in March 2020. |
Increased strategic initiatives, such as mergers and acquisitions or collaborations, will increase market share for key players. |
To sustain their businesses and increase company growth, the key players now focus on mergers and acquisitions as well as new product launches. Olympus Corporation, for example, announced in January 2021 the acquisition Quest Photonic Devices. This acquisition will strengthen Olympus Corporation's position in the surgical endoscopy marketplace and offer new growth opportunities for the company.
The largest revenue share, 71.5%, was attributed to the endoscopic visualization system segment in 2020. Technology advancements that improve imaging capabilities can explain this. Olympus Corporation and FUJIFILM Corporation are key players in this segment. They have been focusing on introducing next generation endoscopy visualization system, which is, in turn, positively impacting the segment’s growth. Fujifilm Corporation, for instance, launched ELUXEO surgical system in July 2020. It provides great visualization and can be used both rigidly or flexible from one tower.
Camera heads, light sources, video processors and suction pumps are all essential components of endoscopy visualization. This segment has grown due to the increasing number of endoscopic procedures and the aging population. According to the WHO estimates, there will be 1.4 million new cases of gastric cancer by 2030. This will likely boost the segment's growth. The segment's growth will also be supported by increased R&D investment from manufacturers to introduce advanced visualization components.
The 4K segment was the most dominant market for endoscopy visualization system and had the highest revenue share at 59.8% in 2020. This segment is expected to see significant growth during the forecast period. Images with 4K resolution are more accurate than images at full HD resolution. This allows for better surgical accuracy and easier identification between nerves, blood vessels and lymph. Monitors with 4K resolution are able to be seen at a closer distance, without having to spot individual pixels. The 4K resolution has many advantages that are driving the segment's growth.
The 4K monitors, however, are more expensive than those with full HD resolution. FHD resolution is a more cost-effective option, especially for developing countries. This, along with easy access to the products and increasing awareness among the patient population, is driving the growth of this segment.
North America was the dominant market for endoscopy visualization system in 2020, accounting for 43.3% of the total revenue. Market dominance is due to North America's rapid adoption of minimally invasive procedures and high rates of colorectal and gastric cancer. There are also growing demands for advanced diagnostic tools and increased demand. The American Cancer Society predicts that in 2021, there will be 104,270 new cases of colon cancer and 45.230 new cases of rectal cancer in the United States. Endoscopy visualization systems will see a rise in demand due to rising cancer cases and favorable reimbursement policies.
Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is expected to experience remarkable growth during the forecast period due to the high proportion of Asian age population such as China and India. Market growth will be aided by the presence of key players like Olympus Corporation, FUJIFILM holdings Corporation, and Hoya Corporation. According to Olympus Corporation estimates, there are 22 endoscopists for every million people in China, 17 in Malaysia, 5 Indians, 6 in Vietnam, and 5 in India. The market for endoscopy visualization equipment in the region will be boosted by a growing number of endoscopists from developing countries.
The rising cancer cost and increasing number of endoscopic procedures in Europe are driving the European market to explode. Eurostat reported that in 2018, 53.6 laparoscopic hysterectomies were performed on Germany's population, and 24.2 in the United Kingdom. This will likely boost Europe's market. The market for endoscopy visualization system in Latin America, Africa, and Middle East will be driven by improvements in healthcare infrastructure.
