Colonoscopes Global Market Report 2026

A colonoscope is a slender, tube-such as medical instrument equipped with a light and camera used for the examination of the colon and rectum. Its primary purpose is to detect and diagnose conditions such as bowel cancer, colon polyps, and other gastrointestinal issues. It aids in investigating symptoms such as blood in stool, unexplained diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.

The two main categories of colonoscopes are fiber optic colonoscopy devices and video colonoscopy devices. Fiber optic colonoscopy involves a minimally invasive examination of the large intestine to screen for colon cancer and assess lower bowel conditions. These devices employ various technologies, including specialized instruments, accessories, and services tailored for applications such as colorectal cancer diagnosis, lynch syndrome detection, and management of gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and polyp identification. These tools are utilized across various healthcare facilities including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and other medical institutions.

Tariffs are influencing the colonoscopes market by increasing costs of imported optical components, imaging sensors, electronic modules, and precision mechanical parts. Hospitals and diagnostic centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-end devices, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on manufacturing inputs. These tariffs are increasing procurement costs and delaying equipment replacement cycles. However, they are also encouraging localized assembly, regional sourcing of components, and development of cost-efficient colonoscopy technologies.

This colonoscopes 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 colonoscopes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.98 billion in 2025 to $2.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing colorectal cancer screening programs, rising prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders, expansion of hospital endoscopy units, growing awareness of preventive diagnostics, availability of advanced endoscopic devices.

The colonoscopes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.86 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing integration of ai in endoscopic imaging, rising demand for outpatient diagnostic procedures, expansion of ambulatory surgery centers, growing focus on early disease detection, increasing investments in smart endoscopy systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-definition video colonoscopes, rising use of ai-assisted polyp detection, growing preference for minimally invasive diagnostic procedures, expansion of wireless colonoscopy technologies, enhanced focus on early colorectal cancer screening.

The growing prevalence of colorectal cancer is anticipated to drive the expansion of the colonoscopes market in the coming years. Colorectal cancer, commonly referred to as colon cancer, is a condition in which abnormal cells proliferate uncontrollably in the colon or rectum. Colonoscopes are widely used for colorectal cancer screening and enable physicians to identify tumors, ulcers, polyps, and other sources of bleeding or inflammation within the colon through a flexible, illuminated tube equipped with a viewing lens and tissue-removal capability. Consequently, the rising incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing the demand for colonoscopy procedures and related equipment. For example, in February 2025, according to the Office for National Statistics, a United Kingdom-based government agency responsible for producing impartial data through surveys and administrative sources, 15,552 deaths due to colorectal cancer were registered in England and Wales in 2023, while the provisional figure for 2024 marginally increased to 15,553. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer is contributing significantly to the growth of the colonoscopes market.

Major companies operating in the colonoscope market are increasingly focusing on developing artificial intelligence (AI)-based devices to strengthen their market position. These advanced medical instruments integrate AI algorithms to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of colon examinations, enabling the detection of abnormalities and potential signs of colorectal diseases. For example, in October 2023, Olympus, a Japan-based manufacturer known for its optical and digital precision technology, launched the EVIS X1 Endoscopy System. This system is designed to improve endoscopic procedures through advanced imaging capabilities and enhanced user functionality. The EVIS X1 employs innovative technology to enhance visualization and maneuverability, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes during colonoscopy procedures.

In February 2023, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based healthcare technology company, completed the acquisition of Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Olympus Corporation seeks to strengthen its portfolio of minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic solutions by incorporating Taewoong Medical's advanced endoscopic and interventional technologies, thereby enhancing procedural accuracy and patient outcomes. Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based healthcare technology company focused on the development of endoscopic and interventional medical devices for gastrointestinal and other minimally invasive clinical applications.
