The proctoscope market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The market size of proctoscopes has seen a significant increase in the past few years. The market, valued at $1.57 billion in 2024, is projected to increase to $2.01 billion in 2025, illustrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.6%.
Factors attributing to the historical growth include a higher rate of colorectal diseases, an increase in the elderly population, enhancement in diagnostic procedures, heightened awareness of colorectal health, and development of healthcare infrastructure.
The proctoscope market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the proctoscope market is projected to undergo an exponential surge, expanding to $5.14 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.5%.
Factors contributing to this projected growth during the forecast period include an increasing demand for minimally invasive diagnostic instruments, a growing focus on early detection of colorectal disorders, the broadening reach of colorectal cancer screening initiatives, a rise in healthcare spending, and the tailoring of proctoscopes for distinct diagnostic requirements. Key trends in the upcoming period include the creation of disposable proctoscopes, the use of digital imaging in proctoscopy, a focus on ergonomic design for patient ease, the use of teleproctoscopy services, and the rising popularity of virtual colonoscopy as a substitute.
The proctoscope market is anticipated to expand due to the rising occurrences of colorectal cancer. This kind of cancer, which originates in the colon or rectum, develops from cells in the digestive tract's lower end. A proctoscope serves as a cancer detection instrument, which allows physicians to visualize the large intestine with its camera that relays images to a nearby screen throughout the operation. This, in turn, simplifies the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. As per the data from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a government agency based in the US, around 153,020 males and females in the US are predicted to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023, resulting in nearly 52,550 fatalities. Consequently, the escalating cases of colorectal cancer fuel the proctoscope market's development.
