The Middle East disposable endoscopes market size was estimated at USD 26.17 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 85.99 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.96% from 2025 to 2033. The market is driven by growing awareness of hospital-acquired infections, expansion of advanced healthcare infrastructure in Gulf countries, rising medical tourism, and regulatory emphasis on safety and device traceability.
The growing availability of advanced single-use imaging technologies and hospitals' need for cost savings through fewer sterilization requirements and quicker turnaround times encourage adoption. The demand for disposable endoscopes in the Middle East is driven by heightened awareness of hospital-acquired infections and the need to reduce cross-contamination risks. Hospitals are prioritizing single-use devices as a safer alternative to reusable systems, aligning with global infection prevention protocols and regional health authority initiatives. In June 2023, a study published in the World Journal of Critical Care Medicine assessed ICU nurses' knowledge of infection control practices in the Middle East. Among respondents, 38.9% from high-income countries and 43.5% from upper-middle-income countries were proficient, highlighting variation in awareness based on hospital product and country income.
Growth in healthcare infrastructure and medical tourism across Gulf countries is expanding the addressable market for disposable endoscopes. Large-scale investments in tertiary care centers and specialized facilities are accelerating adoption, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE leading procurement of advanced endoscopic solutions. In January 2025, Zhejiang Geyi Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. showcased its advanced endoscopic solutions at Arab Health 2025 in Dubai, featuring high-definition imaging systems and disposable flexible endoscopes. The company highlighted innovations such as the 4K endoscope camera system and single-use digital flexible endoscopes, emphasizing their commitment to enhancing surgical precision and patient safety.
Cost efficiency and workflow optimization are further propelling market uptake. Eliminating sterilization and reprocessing requirements reduces operational overheads, shortens turnaround times, and improves patient throughput, making disposable endoscopes an attractive option for high-volume hospitals and outpatient centers.
Initiatives are undertaken to train healthcare professionals in advanced endoscopy techniques. As part of the Saudi-Japan 2030 initiative, a collaboration between the governments of Saudi Arabia and Japan, medical training for endoscopy techniques is included, supporting the advancement of the market. Moreover, notable programs in Kuwait include the National Program for Early Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer and the Early Diagnosis Program for Breast Cancer. The successful implementation of such programs is expected to propel market growth during the forecast period.
