The global gastrointestinal endoscopic device market was valued at nearly $16.3 billion in 2025. It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.0 percent to reach over $21.5 billion by 2031.
This report covers GI endoscopes, capsule endoscopy, stenting and dilation devices, ERCP devices, biopsy forceps and polypectomy snares, EUS needles, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) knives, hemostasis devices, enteral feeding devices, and anti-reflux devices. The study quantifies unit sales, average selling prices (ASPs), market size, growth rates, and company shares, and analyzes procedure volumes, growth drivers and limiters, recent mergers and acquisitions, product portfolios, and competitive dynamics. Forecasts extend to 2031 with historical data to 2021.
Growth is supported by rising screening and early detection programs, an aging global population, and technology upgrades across imaging, therapeutic accessories, and single-use platforms. As emerging regions expand healthcare access, procedure volumes are expected to increase across diagnostic colonoscopy, ERCP, EUS, and therapeutic GI interventions.
Market Overview
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is central to the detection and treatment of GI disease. Colonoscopy is the anchor procedure for colorectal cancer screening and polyp removal, while upper GI endoscopy addresses bleeding, strictures, and reflux-related pathology. Therapeutic procedures such as ERCP, ESD, and EUS-guided interventions have broadened the role of endoscopy beyond diagnosis to include complex therapy.
Market value is shaped by a mix of capital equipment, reusable and single-use devices, and high-volume consumables. The capital base includes GI endoscopes and video processors. High-throughput categories such as biopsy forceps, polypectomy snares, stents, balloons, and hemostasis tools drive recurring revenue. Capsule endoscopy adds a non-invasive pathway for small bowel imaging, while enteral feeding devices support nutrition management in acute and chronic care.
Providers are upgrading from standard imaging to HD and HD+, with selective adoption of 4K and magnification where budgets allow. Single-use endoscopes are gaining attention for infection control and workflow advantages in targeted settings. At the same time, structured national screening programs are expanding the population that enters GI care pathways, which supports steady procedure growth.
Cost control remains a defining factor. Group purchasing organizations and tender models reduce ASPs in mature markets, while hospital budgets drive staged adoption of single-use devices. Even so, demand for advanced therapy has continued to expand as clinicians pursue less invasive alternatives to open surgery and as evidence for endoscopic therapy grows.
Emerging regions in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are set to contribute a larger share of global volumes as infrastructure improves, training expands, and public awareness increases. In these markets, growth in endoscopy suites and imaging fleets will support both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Market Drivers
Incidence of cancer
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related death. Aging demographics and better awareness drive more people into screening programs. Colonoscopy every five to ten years allows the detection and removal of precancerous polyps, which lowers cancer risk. Rising participation in screening supports sustained demand for colonoscopes, biopsy tools, snares, and hemostasis devices.
Screening and early detection programs
Policy changes and national programs have widened the eligible screening population. In the United States, the USPSTF lowered the recommended starting age for colorectal screening from 50 to 45 years, which increases the number of screening colonoscopies. The U.K. NHS is reducing the starting age for bowel screening from 60 to 50. In South Korea, the national program uses biennial FIT with colonoscopy follow-up for positive tests. These programs create predictable, recurring volumes that support stable purchasing of scopes and consumables, and they drive adoption of higher-performance imaging to improve polyp detection.
New technological developments
Imaging upgrades to HD and HD+, along with magnification and better optics, improve diagnostic accuracy. Flexible scopes have become easier to maneuver, and specialized accessories allow more precise therapy. Single-use platforms reduce cross-contamination risk and simplify reprocessing, which can be valuable for infection control and staffing constraints. Notable products include Boston Scientific's Exalt Model D single-use duodenoscope and Ambu's aScope portfolio. In parallel, 3D visualization and 4K imaging are being evaluated for specific use cases. As these technologies mature and cost barriers decline, unit sales and procedure counts are expected to rise.
Expansion in emerging regions
Healthcare investment in Asia-Pacific and Latin America is increasing the number of endoscopy suites, training programs, and referral pathways. Urbanization and higher incomes improve access to care. As awareness of GI disease rises and screening becomes more common, procedure volumes increase, lifting demand for endoscopes, ERCP devices, EUS needles, and hemostasis tools.
Therapeutic breadth and efficiency
Endoscopy now treats bleeding, removes stones, dilates strictures, resects early cancers, and closes defects. Broader therapy expands the addressable market beyond screening and diagnosis. Efficiency gains through AI-assisted polyp detection, improved hemostasis devices, and faster ERCP stone-management tools shorten procedure time and improve throughput, which supports adoption.
Market Limiters
Group purchasing organizations
GPOs and tenders consolidate demand and push down prices, which makes it difficult for smaller manufacturers to compete. Volume commitments and aggressive discounts favor large vendors with broad portfolios. This dynamic limits the market access of niche players and compresses ASPs, particularly in high-volume consumables.
Screening alternatives
Less invasive screening methods such as FIT-DNA, blood-based tests, and capsule colonoscopy are gaining interest. These options can reduce barriers to initial screening. However, a positive result still requires a colonoscopy for confirmation and treatment, which preserves the central role of endoscopy. Even with some diversion of initial tests, downstream colonoscopy volumes remain necessary, which helps limit the impact on colonoscope unit sales.
Hesitation to adopt new technology
Clinician adoption of new devices is cautious. Many providers seek robust evidence of clinical benefit and workflow fit before changing practice. Cost and training time also slow uptake. Single-use platforms, for example, must justify expense with infection control or efficiency benefits. Over time, favorable studies and better procurement models can stimulate adoption, but the path is gradual.
Budget constraints and reprocessing investments
Hospitals with recent investments in reprocessing and capital fleets will require clear value cases to switch to single-use devices or premium accessories. Budgets in emerging regions prioritize high-impact items first, which can delay adoption of advanced imaging or specialty tools.
Market Coverage and Data Scope
Care settings include hospitals, outpatient endoscopy centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty clinics.
