The Global Endoscope Reprocessing Market was valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% to reach USD 9.6 billion by 2034. This rapid market expansion is being fueled by the increasing shift toward minimally invasive surgical techniques, coupled with the rising prevalence of conditions such as gastrointestinal diseases and cancers that require frequent diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures. As more procedures shift to outpatient and ambulatory surgical centers, the need for reliable and efficient reprocessing systems that ensure endoscope safety between users becomes more critical.
Ensuring the disinfection and safety of reusable endoscopes is central to infection control in clinical environments. Regulatory bodies continue to enforce strict protocols for cleaning and disinfecting endoscopic devices. As healthcare providers face heightened pressure to mitigate healthcare-associated infections, the importance of thorough, validated reprocessing protocols has grown considerably. Additionally, increasing concerns surrounding antimicrobial resistance and the demand for greater infection prevention continue to intensify the need for effective, high-quality endoscope reprocessing systems.

The accessories segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.9% through 2034, driven by innovation in device components that enhance performance and simplify workflows. Continued investments in R&D are allowing companies to introduce automated technologies that not only improve reprocessing consistency but also reduce reliance on manual labor, which often leads to variability and potential error. The steady rise of automated endoscope reprocessors is enhancing efficiency while ensuring regulatory compliance and minimizing the risk of improper sterilization.
In 2024, the hospitals segment held 58% share. The dominance of this segment is primarily attributed to the high volume of patients and the increasing focus on reducing infection transmission through strict adherence to sterilization protocols. Facilities are placing strong emphasis on technician training, compliance tracking, and documentation of cleaning cycles to ensure that proper disinfection is achieved consistently. As a result, hospitals are integrating advanced tracking systems to monitor the reprocessing history of every scope and optimize workflow safety.
U.S. Endoscope Reprocessing Market was valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2024.
