Disposable Endoscopes Market Dynamics and Trends
Technological Advancements in Disposable Endoscopy Devices is expected to drive the market's growth.
Increasing technological advancement and investments by endoscope producers to develop new products are driving the market. For instance, in November 2020, Olympus Corporation partnered with Ruhof Corporation introduced single-use procedure kits and hybrid tubing for endoscopes to reduce infection risks. Moreover, in November 2020, Omnivision launched imaging subsystems including camera modules, cables and image signal processor boards for disposable endoscopes. For instance, a product name Scope4 launched by Ambu A/S in 2017 is a high-quality product with different sizes available. It also gives eminence in images with patient safety, which further drives the market. Hence, from the above statements, it is expected to drive the growth of the market.
Increasing Side Effects in Disposable Endoscopy Devices is expected to hamper the market's growth.
Endoscopy is a moderately safe procedure, but there are some risks involved, as risks depend on the area that is being examined, which includes over-sedation, feeling bloated for a short time after the procedure, mild cramping, a numb throat for a few hours due to the use of local anesthetic, infection of the area of investigation, this most commonly occurs when additional procedures are carried out at the same time.
The infections are commonly minor and treatable with a course of antibiotics, and it includes more. Additionally, tear of the stomach, or esophagus lining occurs in 1 in every 2,500-11,000 cases—internal bleeding, usually minor and sometimes treatable by endoscopic cauterization. Hence, due to increasing side effects in disposable endoscopy devices is expected to hamper the market's growth.
COVID-19 Impact on Disposable Endoscopes Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the healthcare systems globally. Also, it has a notable impact on the market, and this has happened in several businesses closing down their manufacturing plants and halting most of their operations. Moreover, there is a risk of transmission during endoscopy, and the aim is to stop infection among healthcare professionals while contributing essential services to patients.
Additionally, pandemics imposed a severe burden on endoscopy units all over the world. For instance, in March 2020 multicenter survey from northern Italy revealed near-universal exposure to COVID-19 positive patients in endoscopy units was 97.6% experienced a reduction in endoscopic activities and 50% performed endoscopic procedures on COVID-19 positive patients. Moreover, to droplet and airborne transmission, contamination with fomites and subsequent self-inoculation of the nose, eyes, and mouth is considered a giver to high viral transmission rates.
Disposable Endoscopes Market Segmentation Analysis
The bronchoscopy segment is expected to hold the largest market share in this market segment.
The presence of many bronchoscopes and the growing prevalence of disorders are expected to drive the segment. As per American Lung Association, there were 2 million new lung cancer cases worldwide in 2018. Moreover, such a wave in the number of infections associated with bronchoscopes, the high requirement of devices, and increased respiratory infections across the globe. Disposable endoscopes effectively treat respiratory diseases, which increase the segment growth during the projection period.
As per World Health Organization, globally, 65 million people were suffering from mild to severe COPD, while 334 million people had asthma in 2017. Additionally, COPD, asthma, acute lower respiratory tract infections, tuberculosis, and lung cancer are common causes of severe illness and death worldwide. The growth of technologically advanced products is boosting the market growth.
For instance, in June 2019, Valtronic had launched a disposable bronchoscope to limit infections. Hence, the bronchoscopy segment dominated the market for disposable endoscopes and held the largest revenue share in 2020.
The hospital segment is expected to hold the largest market share in this segment
The hospitals' segment dominated the market for disposable endoscopes and accounted for the largest revenue share in 2020. Rising awareness, higher cleaning costs, and increasing failures result in adopting disposable endoscopes in hospitals. Moreover, due to contaminated equipment, the growing prevalence of hospital-acquired infections is expected to drive the segment growth. Additionally, in inclination for disposable endoscopes is high about the reprocessed endoscopes in hospitals. The technological advancements included within the disposable endoscopes proposing accurate diagnosis will increase its adoption in hospitals, enhancing the segmental growth.
The rising demand for low-cost endoscopy methods and the increasing predominance of chronic diseases such as cancer are other significant factors increasing the product demand. Moreover, the growing demand for single-use endoscopes due to their low maintenance cost and higher reprocessing costs augment its demand and shift the preference of healthcare experts for the usage of disposable ones. On the other hand, medical waste generated by these devices is a threat to the environment, which may hinder the market growth shortly.
Disposable Endoscopes Market Geographical Share
North America region holds the largest market share in the global disposable endoscopes market
