Sigmoidoscope Global Market Report 2026

A sigmoidoscope is a medical instrument used to examine the interior of the sigmoid colon and rectum. It is a type of endoscope designed for insertion into the lower part of the large intestine through the anus. The device features either a flexible or rigid tube equipped with a light source and a camera or lens system, enabling healthcare providers to visually inspect these areas for abnormalities such as polyps, tumors, inflammation, and other conditions.

The main types of sigmoidoscopes are flexible sigmoidoscopes and rigid sigmoidoscopes. A flexible sigmoidoscope consists of a long, flexible tube with a light and camera at the end, used to examine the lower part of the large intestine and perform minor procedures. Sigmoidoscopes are applied in various settings for diagnosis, monitoring, and other purposes, and are utilized by different end users such as clinics, hospitals, diagnostic centers, gastroenterology institutes, and ambulatory surgical centers.

Tariffs are impacting the sigmoidoscope market by increasing the cost of imported optical components, imaging sensors, light sources, precision tubing, and medical-grade plastics used in flexible and rigid sigmoidoscope manufacturing. Hospitals and diagnostic centers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported endoscopic equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on export-oriented production. These tariffs are contributing to higher procurement costs and slower replacement cycles for healthcare providers. However, they are also encouraging localized manufacturing, regional assembly of endoscopy devices, and innovation in cost-efficient single-use sigmoidoscope solutions.

The sigmoidoscope market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides sigmoidoscope market statistics, including sigmoidoscope industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a sigmoidoscope market share, detailed sigmoidoscope market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the sigmoidoscope industry. This sigmoidoscope 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 sigmoidoscope market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.67 billion in 2025 to $2.83 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of colorectal disorders, increased use of endoscopic diagnostic procedures, growing awareness of early disease detection, expansion of hospital endoscopy units, availability of reusable sigmoidoscope technologies.

The sigmoidoscope market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.59 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for disposable endoscopy devices, rising focus on outpatient diagnostic procedures, expansion of screening programs for colorectal diseases, growing investments in advanced imaging technologies, increasing emphasis on patient safety and comfort. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of high-definition flexible sigmoidoscopes, rising use of single-use sigmoidoscopy devices, growing integration of advanced imaging systems, expansion of minimally invasive diagnostic procedures, enhanced focus on infection control and sterility.

The increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer is expected to drive the growth of the sigmoidoscope market going forward. Colorectal cancer develops in the colon-the longest part of the large intestine-or the rectum, the final segment before the anus. Its prevalence is rising due to factors such as aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, and diets high in processed foods with low fiber intake. Sigmoidoscopes assist in colorectal cancer management by enabling physicians to visually examine the rectum and lower colon for abnormal growths, including polyps and tumors. They facilitate early detection, diagnosis, and removal of potentially cancerous polyps, improving treatment outcomes and survival rates. For instance, in February 2025, according to the UK Office for National Statistics, 15,552 deaths were registered in England and Wales in 2023 due to colorectal cancer. Therefore, the rising incidence of colorectal cancer is a key driver of the sigmoidoscope market.

Leading companies in the sigmoidoscope market are concentrating on developing advanced technologies, such as endoscopy systems, to improve image quality and enhance the visibility of lesions and polyps during examinations. Endoscopy systems use a flexible tube with a light and camera to inspect internal body parts, with the images displayed on a monitor. For example, in October 2023, Olympus Corporation introduced its next-generation EVIS X1 endoscopy system. This advanced system aims to improve gastrointestinal (GI) visualization, aiding practitioners in diagnosing and treating GI disorders more effectively. The EVIS X1 incorporates cutting-edge imaging technologies designed to enhance the detection of lesions and polyps.

In January 2024, Olympus Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer specializing in optics and reprography products, acquired Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd. for $370 million. This acquisition is intended to expand Olympus's gastrointestinal (GI) endotherapy product range, aiming to improve patient outcomes with a broader selection of solutions. Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd., based in Korea, produces medical devices, including endoscopes.
