Bronchoscopy Market

The global bronchoscopy market size was valued at $2,558.21 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $4,880.72 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.30% from 2021 to 2030.

Bronchoscopy is the most common interventional pulmonology procedures performed through the bronchoscope. Bronchoscopy can be performed through reusable bronchoscopes or single use bronchoscopes. Single use bronchoscope or reusable bronchoscope both are intended for use during endoscopic examination, diagnosis, and treatment of airways and tracheobronchial tree. The conditions such as COPD, tumors, lung cancer, airway stenosis, pneumonia, bronchitis, and other lung infections can be diagnosed through single use bronchoscope.

Factors such as increase in number of cases related to respiratory diseases, developments related to products improving reimbursement policies, and technological advancements will further drive the market growth. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2018, around 2.09 million cases of lung cancer were reported. Furthermore, this might increase the demand for minimally invasive procedures; thereby, boosting the bronchoscope market growth. However, risk of contamination of devices may hinder the growth of the bronchoscope market. Conversely, growth opportunities in emerging markets are anticipated to provide opportunities for market.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the health care sector across the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of health care. However, there has also been a negative effect and surge in demand for various medical services, including bronchoscopy products such as visualization & documentation systems and endoscope.

Bronchoscopy is an aerosol-generating procedure with important diagnostic and therapeutic indications. However, in the era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, airway procedures can put health care providers at an increased risk of exposure and transmission of COVID-19. Various societies of respiratory medicine to stratify the indications for bronchoscopy and optimize pre procedural, procedural, and post procedural preparation. Furthermore, appropriate measures can help decrease exposure to health care workers when performing this aerosol-generating procedure.

Bronchoscopy remains one of the highest risk procedures within this population of patients due to its detectible disruption of airway mucosa and the increased pressures utilized to oxygenate and ventilate patients during the procedure. Secondary to the close contact between the medical personnel involved in the bronchoscopy and the patient, coughing and suction can produce significant amounts of droplets or aerosols, contaminating indoor equipment, procedure room’s air, all personnel present, and even resulting in a higher risk of patient-to-patient cross-infection. Nevertheless, bronchoscopy remains an imperative and important method for the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory illnesses that in certain instances cannot be postponed pending further progression of disease and clinical deterioration. Therefore, it is critical to stratify the patients requiring prompt bronchoscopy intervention along with those patients who may benefit from a delayed procedure.
