Endoscope Reprocessing Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the global endoscope reprocessing market is valued at USD 20.01 billion in 2023. This figure is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 8.69% to reach USD 3.05 billion by 2028.

An endoscope is a tubular instrument used to examine the hollow viscera's interior. Reprocessing involves the cleaning and sterilization of the devices. Here, it refers only to flexible gastrointestinal endoscopes, like Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER), a machine designed for cleaning and disinfecting purposes for endoscopes and their accessories, along with a preceding meticulous manual cleaning. It is used regularly in various procedures and must maintain the device cleaned to avoid infections. Also, endoscope reprocessing improves performance levels along with high accuracy and reliability. The cleaning process undergoes enzymatic detergents and has to be done at appropriate temperatures.

MARKET DRIVERS:

The rising number of hospitals and the growing number of investments in endoscopic instruments are expected to drive the growth of the global endoscope reprocessing market.

In almost all the facilities using gastrointestinal endoscopy (hospital, clinic, ambulatory care center, and practice), all personnel adheres to infection control principles to maintain a safe, infection-free environment and avoid the possibility of transmitting the disease to patients and colleagues, as result of strict government policies, which is compiling on every person to follow the advice on infection control and competence in reprocessing, thereby driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increased threat of infections associated with inappropriate purification of endoscopes increases the endoscope reprocessing market. Also, due to rising awareness among manufacturers, quality assurance is given the highest priority in settings where gastrointestinal endoscopy is performed, focusing on cleaning and high-level disinfection of hoses. Furthermore, advanced technologies developed for endoscopic surgical instruments are expected to boost the market. In addition, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries increases the risk of infections due to improper sterilization processes, which is one of the major factors driving the global endoscope processing market.

Furthermore, growing support from government and non-government institutes in healthcare centers also propels the market growth. Moreover, the analysis of data from validation studies for cleaning and high-level disinfection is being helped by FDA and keeping a record of outbreaks of infections in hospitals to understand AERs infections. Factors such as the rising prevalence of launching innovative products concerned with patient safety and increasing incidences of infectious diseases worldwide are pushing the growth forward. Moreover, the growing tendency to improve the quality of treatment procedures in hospitals, increase the elderly population and increase chronic disease incidences further fuel the market growth for endoscope r processing. Staff monitoring for high-level disinfectants and reusable sterilants is expected to have a minimum effective concentration. To avoid cross-contamination, most areas of the endoscopy room are designated as clean areas; separating contaminated areas from clean counter areas is expected to drive the market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS:

The shortage of skilled technicians to monitor the systems more accurately and the high costs associated with installing and maintaining the devices are significant market growth restraints.

Adverse complications that arise after endoscopic treatment are one of the factors that obstruct ma ket growth. In addition, recycling instrumentation and reimbursement policies are restricted in developing countries, and the issues associated with the security of the reprocessed instruments further limit the market growth. Also, Reprocessing of flexible endoscopes has a narrow margin of security, due to which even the slightest deviation from the recommended protocol may increase the risk o  infection. Furthermore, the rise in the complications during real-time due to system failures and the lack of awareness of some diagnostic procedures in rural areas also hamper the demand for the endoscope reprocessing market since for the reprocessing of these instruments, only persons capable of reading and understanding and implementing the instructions for high-level disinfection of gastrointestinal endoscopes and their accessories need to be appointed which meet the competency standards for endoscope reprocessing, and not just temporary staff.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global endoscope reprocessing market:

The SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the COVID-19 eruption, leading to a worldwide pandemic affecting almost every industry, including the healthcare e industry. COVID-19 has charged a severe burden on endoscopy devices and units worldwide. While performing any endoscopy surgery, there are high chances for the threat of virus transmission of the COV D-19 virus. In September 2020, the Department of Medicine A, University Medicine Greifswald, Germany, surveyed 48 countries and discovered that all the centers reduced their endoscopy volumes during the pandemic crisis. Endoscopy healthcare faces a colossal threat during the COVI -19 period. Based on the nationwide survey with 1,000 respondents, the COVID-19 pandemic considerably decreased the endoscopy activity units, limiting the endoscopy unit's activity in public and private e settings. The advancements in endoscope reprocessing executed amidst the COVID-19 emergency efficiently confirmed the absence of SARS-CoV-2, condensing the threat of infections post-endoscopy on COVID-19 patients.

This research report on the global endoscope reprocessing market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on the product, end-user, and region.

Endoscope Reprocessing Market – By Product:

  • High-Level Disinfectants & Test Strips
  • Detergents & Wipes
  • Automated Endoscope Reprocessors
  • Single-Basin Automated Endoscope Reprocessors
  • Double-Basin Automated Endoscope Reprocessors
  • Endoscope Tracking Systems
  • Advantages of Endoscope Tracking Systems
  • Endoscope Drying, Storage, & Transport Systems
  • Other Products

Based on the Product, the High-Level disinfectants & test strips segment accounted for the majority of the market share in the global endoscope reprocessing market in 2022. The growth is attributed to the growing eruption related to insufficient cleaning or disinfecting during the high-level disinfectants and increasing affixation to the rules and guidelines of endoscope reprocessing by health re-centers. In addition, this might be due to the increased prevalence of infections like pneumonia and bacteremia as after-use effects of endoscopic procedures.

A saturated dialdehyde, Glutaraldehyde, is widely used for high-level disinfection of endoscopes by activating the acidic Glutaraldehyde to become sporicidal. Moreover, escalating attention on health conditions among the sole and fascination towards a quick recognition of having a permanent cure for the diseases are soaring the ma ket growth. Likewise, the adoption of test strips is also increasing for faster disinfection reaction time, helping detect carbohydrates, residual proteins, and hemoglobin in flexible and rigid endoscopes and providing effective measurement through the use of minimum effective concentration (MEC) for high-level disinfection.

The automated endoscope reprocessors segment is estimated to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period. However, it is projected to stand the second line leading the majority of the market share owing to various efforts by government organizations to support the adoption of ARE, increasing adoption of AERs in hospitals and medical facilities like ambulatory surgery centers, the active indulgence of companies for innovative and advanced AERs, as a result of an increasing number of endoscopic surgeries.
