Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Global Market Report 2024

The gastrointestinal endoscopy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.65 billion in 2023 to $15.72 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The expansion during the historical period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, a heightened awareness about early disease detection, the growing aging population, reimbursement policies, and the expanding applications in therapeutic procedures.

The gastrointestinal endoscopy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for minimally invasive procedures, increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure, the growth of the geriatric population, expanding applications in oncology diagnosis, and the rising adoption of capsule endoscopy. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the increasing use of artificial intelligence in endoscopy, the development of disposable endoscopes, a rising demand for flexible endoscopes, a focus on tele-endoscopy services, and the integration of robotics in gastrointestinal endoscopy.

The growth of the gastrointestinal endoscopy market is being propelled by the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal diseases, affecting the organs involved in digestion and food processing, prompt the need for effective diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Gastrointestinal endoscopy, a widely utilized technique, enables the identification of abnormalities, facilitates biopsy tissue sampling, and supports therapeutic procedures in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. For instance, Cancer Research UK predicts a 5% increase in the incidence rate of pancreatic cancer in the UK from 2023 to 2025. Additionally, a research article published in the Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology in March 2023 forecasts an increase in the incidence rate of inflammatory bowel disease in Canada from 825 per 100,000 in 2023 to 1075 per 100,000 in 2035. The rising prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is a significant driver of the gastrointestinal endoscopy market.

The gastrointestinal endoscopy market is experiencing growth due to the aging population. The demographic shift towards an aging population, characterized by a higher proportion of individuals aged 65 and older, is contributing to increased demand for health screenings, including gastrointestinal screenings. Older adults are more likely to undergo gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures, such as colonoscopies, for the early detection of colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal issues. According to the World Health Organization, by 2030, one out of every six individuals globally will be 60 years old or older. The global population of individuals aged 60 and older is expected to reach 1.4 billion in 2025 and double to 2.1 billion by 2050. The growing aging population is a key factor driving the gastrointestinal endoscopy market.

Innovation in gastrointestinal endoscopic devices is a prominent trend in the gastrointestinal endoscopy market, with major companies introducing advanced devices to maintain their market positions. For example, Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation launched TRACMOTION in December 2021, featuring a 360° rotatable jaw for endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This innovation facilitates easy grasping and re-grasping of large lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing procedure times and enhancing visualization for clinicians.

Major companies in the gastrointestinal endoscopy market are focused on developing advanced gastrointestinal diagnosis technologies to enhance their market presence. These technologies, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for earlier disease detection and more accurate diagnostics, contribute to improved treatment planning and patient outcomes. Fujifilm's CAD EYE function for Upper Gastrointestinal diagnosis, launched in March 2023, utilizes AI technology to aid in the early detection and characterization of abnormalities in the stomach and esophagus, providing clinicians with valuable visualization modes and tools for efficient lesion navigation.

In April 2023, Boston Scientific acquired Apollo Endosurgery for $615 million, aiming to enhance its product offerings in endoluminal surgery procedures and endo-bariatric solutions. Apollo Endosurgery, a manufacturer of endoscopy devices and solutions for gastrointestinal endoscopy, adds valuable capabilities to Boston Scientific's portfolio.
