Capsule endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique involving the ingestion of a small, pill-sized camera designed to capture images of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This procedure is utilized to identify conditions such as bleeding, ulcers, and inflammatory bowel diseases, offering detailed visuals of areas that are challenging to reach with conventional endoscopy.
The key components of capsule endoscopy include capsule endoscopes, and systems. Capsule endoscopes are compact, pill-shaped devices equipped with cameras that are swallowed to record images of the digestive tract for diagnosing various gastrointestinal conditions. These devices are employed in multiple applications, such as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), Crohn's disease, small intestine tumors, and more. They are commonly used by hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and specialty clinics.
The capsule endoscopy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides capsule endoscopy market statistics, including the capsule endoscopy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the capsule endoscopy market share, detailed capsule endoscopy market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the capsule endoscopy industry. This capsule endoscopy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The capsule endoscopy market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.69 billion in 2024 to $0.76 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.14%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, the growing preference for non-invasive diagnostic methods, an expanding aging population, heightened awareness of gastrointestinal conditions, and increased focus on healthcare awareness.
The capsule endoscopy market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.88%. The growth anticipated during the forecast period can be credited to the expansion of telemedicine and mobile health solutions, increased adoption of minimally invasive medical technologies, a growing preference for outpatient procedures, rising demand for early diagnosis, and an increasing need for patient-friendly diagnostic tools. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in technology, innovations in capsule design, the development of minimally invasive procedures, integration with artificial intelligence, and progress in biodegradable capsule technology.
The increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal illnesses is anticipated to drive the growth of the capsule endoscopy market. Gastrointestinal disorders, including indigestion, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and gastrointestinal cancers, are conditions that affect the digestive system. Factors contributing to the rising prevalence of these illnesses include poor dietary habits, stress, sedentary lifestyles, overuse of antibiotics, aging populations, environmental contaminants, antibiotic resistance, and disruptions to the gut microbiome. Capsule endoscopy offers a non-invasive and detailed examination of the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in the early detection and management of conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. For example, the IBD Registry, a UK-based non-profit organization, reported in December 2023 that over 5,300 individuals were registered with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, marking an increase of more than 3,000 members compared to the previous year. This growing prevalence of gastrointestinal illnesses is therefore boosting the demand for capsule endoscopy solutions.
Companies in the capsule endoscopy market are increasingly investing in innovative technologies, such as magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy systems, to enhance diagnostic precision, improve patient experience, and broaden applications for gastrointestinal imaging. These advanced systems utilize external magnetic fields to navigate a swallowable camera capsule through the gastrointestinal tract for detailed imaging. For instance, in February 2023, AnX Robotica Corporation, a US-based equipment manufacturer, introduced the NaviCam Small Bowel System. This system is designed to optimize the visualization of the small bowel, an essential area for diagnosing various gastrointestinal conditions. Featuring high-definition imaging, real-time navigation capabilities, and AI-powered analytics, the system ensures rapid and accurate detection of abnormalities while maintaining a non-invasive approach. This cutting-edge technology establishes a new standard for efficiency and effectiveness in gastrointestinal healthcare.
In December 2022, AnX Robotica Corporation announced a partnership with GastroGPO LLC to enhance access to sedation-free, minimally invasive endoscopy solutions. Through this collaboration, GastroGPO members can utilize the NaviCam Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy System (MCCE), which enables examinations of the esophagus and stomach without the need for sedation. GastroGPO LLC, a US-based specialty networks company, leverages collective purchasing power to provide gastroenterology practices with cost-effective access to advanced capsule endoscopy equipment.
