Impact Analysis of Covid-19
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
Endoscopy devices are used as both diagnostic and therapeutic devices that serve clinical solutions to the world by allowing close examination of internal organs and body structures. As opposed to conventional imaging devices like X-rays, endoscopic devices possess a tube-like instrument called endoscope, inserted directly inside the organ which provides comprehensive details of the organs under study.
Global Endoscopy Devices Market: Drivers
Increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases is expected to propel growth of the global endoscopy devices market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the study, ‘Worldwide incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease in the 21st century: a systematic review of population-based studies’, published in the journal Lancet in 2018, the prevalence of Crohn's disease in Germany was 22 per 100,000 and 319 per 100,000 in Canada.
Moreover, increasing geriatric population is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For instance, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. geriatric population is expected to reach 77 million by 2034.
The global endoscopy devices market is estimated to account for US$ 14,384.0 Million in 2020 and expected to reach around US$ 27,622.6 Million by the end of 2027.

Global Endoscopy Devices Market: Restraints
Negative impact of U.S. medical device tax and rigorous FDA regulatory process is expected to hinder growth of the global endoscopy devices market. The U.S. government scheduled to implement a 2.3% excise tax on medical devices sales in 2013.The effect of this will be seen on the prices of the endoscopic devices as companies will raise prices and pass on to customers as a way to deal with the increased tax in the U.S.
Moreover, lack of proper guidelines regarding proper selection and usage of automated endoscope reprocessors is expected to hamper growth of the global endoscopy devices market. Ill-advised endoscope cleaning can bring about danger of building up an extreme contamination. Claims have been recorded against manufacturers, asserting the device outlines keep legitimate sanitization from happening, putting patients at danger of genuine medical issues.

Global Endoscopy Devices Market: Opportunities
R&D of new endoscopy technologies is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global endoscopy devices market. For instance, in June 2020, Xenocor, Inc. received the U.S. patent in connection with the Xenoscope Single-use Laparoscopic System, which provides valuable protection for materials used in the disposable scope that reduce fogging and improve the clarity of the resulting images provided by the system.
Moreover, increasing adoption of hyperspectral imaging is also expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the global endoscopy devices market. Hyperspectral imaging has been used in conjunction with rigid endoscopy to detect cancer in vivo.
