Endoscopy devices and equipment play a crucial role in examining the interiors of organs and body cavities, allowing doctors to visualize the digestive tract on a screen and facilitate the diagnosis of medical conditions.
The primary products within the endoscopy devices and equipment category include endoscopes, endoscopy operative devices, and endoscopy visualization systems. An endoscope, whether rigid or flexible, serves as a lighted optical instrument used for an in-depth examination inside the body, particularly organs such as the throat or esophagus. Various applications encompass bronchoscopy, arthroscopy, laparoscopy, urology endoscopy, neuroendoscopy, gastrointestinal endoscopy, obstetrics/gynecology endoscopy, ENT endoscopy, among others. These applications cater to diverse end-users, including hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.
Tariffs are impacting the endoscopy devices and equipment market by increasing costs of imported optical components, imaging sensors, electronic modules, and precision-manufactured endoscopes. Hospitals and diagnostic centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported visualization systems and accessories, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressures on export-oriented manufacturing. These tariffs are raising procurement costs and extending replacement cycles. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional supplier partnerships, and innovation in cost-efficient endoscopy solutions.
The endoscopy devices and equipment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides endoscopy devices and equipment market statistics, including endoscopy devices and equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a endoscopy devices and equipment market share, detailed endoscopy devices and equipment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the endoscopy devices and equipment industry. This endoscopy devices and equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The endoscopy devices and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $34.97 billion in 2025 to $37.16 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, rising demand for minimally invasive diagnostics, expansion of hospital endoscopy units, technological improvements in optical imaging, growing awareness of early disease detection.
The endoscopy devices and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $48.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of ai-assisted endoscopy analysis, rising investments in advanced diagnostic infrastructure, expansion of outpatient endoscopy procedures, growing demand for single-use endoscopy devices, increasing focus on workflow efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-definition endoscopy systems, growing use of minimally invasive diagnostic procedures, rising integration of advanced visualization software, expansion of flexible and capsule endoscopy applications, enhanced focus on infection-control compliant devices.
The increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is expected to further stimulate the growth of the endoscopy device and equipment market. Gastrointestinal diseases, often referred to as digestive disorders, encompass a variety of conditions affecting the digestive system, which includes the organs involved in food breakdown, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination. The rising occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, and gastrointestinal cancers has heightened the demand for endoscopy devices and equipment, as these tools are essential for diagnosing and monitoring these conditions through minimally invasive methods, thereby aiding in precise visualization and treatment planning. For instance, in January 2024, the American Cancer Society, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, projected approximately 26,890 new stomach cancer cases in the U.S. in 2024, with 16,160 cases in men and 10,730 in women. Additionally, it is estimated that this cancer type will result in about 10,880 deaths, including 6,490 men and 4,390 women. Therefore, the rising prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is set to drive the endoscopy devices and equipment market forward.
Leading companies in the endoscopy devices and equipment market are creating technologically advanced products, such as gastrointestinal videoscopes, to deliver high-resolution, real-time imaging of the digestive tract. A gastrointestinal videoscope is a medical instrument designed for visualizing and diagnosing conditions within the gastrointestinal tract, utilizing a flexible tube equipped with a camera for real-time imaging during endoscopic procedures. For example, in October 2023, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based medical technology firm, introduced the EVIS X1 endoscopy system. This system boasts several advanced features aimed at improving visibility and streamlining procedures. Its Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging (TXI) technology enhances the detection of lesions and polyps by improving image texture and color. Additionally, the Red Dichromatic Imaging (RDI) technology boosts the visibility of deep blood vessels and bleeding points. The Brightness Adjustment Imaging with Maintenance of Contrast (BAI-MAC) technology optimizes brightness in darker areas without overexposing lighter regions, thus enhancing overall visibility. The system also integrates Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) technology, which improves the observation of mucosal and vascular patterns by using specific wavelengths absorbed by hemoglobin. Furthermore, the CV-1500 video system center features a touch panel that facilitates procedures by allowing users to control settings and image data from a single device. The MyCV mode enables physicians to customize imaging configurations and manage multiple functions with just one button on the scope.
In November 2024, Medtronic, a US-based supplier of surgical, endoscopy, and medical technology solutions, acquired Fortimedix Surgical for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Medtronic seeks to enhance its surgical and endoscopy portfolio by incorporating advanced articulating instrument technologies that support minimally invasive and robotic procedures. Fortimedix Surgical is a Netherlands-based company that provides articulating instruments used in endoscopic, minimally invasive, and robotic soft-tissue surgeries.
