The global endoscope market was valued at $18.9 billion in 2018, which is projected to reach $28.4 billion by 2024, progressing at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period (2019–2024). Based on type, the colonoscope category is expected to witness the fastest growth, at a CAGR of 8.3%, during the forecast period. The widespread prevalence of colon-related diseases and the growing emphasis on their early diagnosis and prevention, which require endoscopy procedures, are some major factors behind the growth of the category.
Rising Number of Product Launches is a Key Trend in Endoscope Market
The global endoscope market is evolving with the development and launch of technically advanced products. In the current time, these products play a pivotal role in the effective diagnosis and treatment of various conditions, such as chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, colon cancer, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), ulcerative colitis, and muscle spasms. The advanced products that are being launched provide enhanced visualization of the body parts, such as organs and tissues. Moreover, the technically upgraded endoscopes provide better results with minimal errors. For instance, in March 2019, Olympus Corporation launched its small intestine endoscopy system, PowerSpiral, with a motorized rotation system in Europe and some parts of the Asia-Pacific (APAC). This system uses a motorized rotator, which is fixed on the upper side of the endoscope and gently grips onto the mucosa, providing deeper penetration into the small intestine.
Market for Endoscopes is Likely to Witness Significant Progress Due to Surge in Geriatric Population
The increasing geriatric population is a key factor driving the growth of the endoscope market. It has been observed that apart from geriatric population, chronic diseases are another major contributor in the growth of the market. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA)’s World Population Ageing 2017 publication, the population of people aged 60 years or above is growing at a considerable rate, globally. This number increased from 382 million in 1980 to 962 million in 2017 and is further expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. European countries, including Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and the U.K., are experiencing an increase in their geriatric population. According to the World Population Ageing 2017 factsheet, 29.4% of the Italian population was 60 years or older. This figure is likely to rise to 40.3% by 2050. Further, 28.0% of German citizens were aged 60 years or over in 2017, and this share is expected to reach 37.6% by 2050. Similarly, the population of those 60 years or older in France in 2017 accounted for 25.7% of the total, and it is expected to rise up to 32.2% by 2050.
Elderly people require extensive care, as they are more prone to illnesses due to their low immunity level and require longer recovery time. Chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and respiratory diseases, are commonly observed in the elderly, which require regular monitoring through endoscopic procedures.
