Which Key Drivers Are Propelling The Vaginal Speculum Market's Growth?
The escalation in the occurrence of cervical cancer is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the vaginal speculum market. Cervical cancer emerges from the cells of the cervix - the lower section of the uterus that connects to the vagina. The multiplication of cervical cancer instances is linked to aspects like lack of human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization, insufficient screening, and restricted access to healthcare amenities. A vaginal speculum comes into play during the cervical cancer screening procedure (pap smear), to visualize and access the cervix in order to collect a sample. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, in March 2024, cervical cancer was ranked the fourth most prevalent cancer in women registering approximately 660,000 fresh cases in 2022. Roughly 94% of the 350,000 deaths accredited to cervical cancer that year were reported in countries with low to decent income brackets. Consequently, the escalating prevalence of cervical cancer is steering the expansion of the vaginal speculum market.
