The colonoscopes market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been a remarkable growth in the colonoscopes market size in recent times. The market, which stood at $1.88 billion in 2024, is anticipated to reach $2 billion by 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. Factors such as a rise in colorectal disease incidence, an aging society, the development of healthcare infrastructure, preventative screening initiatives, remuneration policies, and enhanced patient education and awareness can be credited for the growth during the historical period.
The Colonoscopes market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for colonoscopes is projected to experience significant expansion in the coming years, reaching a value of $2.69 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the incorporation of artificial intelligence, a global rise in the occurrence of colorectal cancer, the advent of telemedicine and remote monitoring, tailored medication approaches, regulatory backing and standardization. The forecast period will also see key trends like advancements in technology, miniaturization and portability, increasing cases of colorectal diseases, a shift towards disposable colonoscopes, telecolonoscopy services through telemedicine, and changes in the regulatory landscape.
The surge in colorectal cancer cases is believed to be a key driver for the expansion of the colonoscopes market. Colorectal cancer, also recognized as colon cancer, is a condition where the cells in the colon or rectum multiply uncontrollably. The colonoscope, a flexible and lit tube with a viewing lens and a tissue-extraction tool, is principally utilized for colorectal cancer screening and for identifying tumors, ulcers, polyps in the colon, and other bleeding or inflamed areas. Consequently, the growing incidence of colorectal cancer enhances the need for colonoscopes. For example, a May 2022 report from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), a professional organization based in the US, states that in 2022, 151,030 individuals were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, with 52,580 fatalities, and these figures are predicted to increase in the future. Hence, the rising incidence of colorectal cancer is contributing to the expansion of the colonoscopes market.
