The major factors that drive the global medical videoscope market are technological advancements in the visualization systems (3D cameras to improve image and video quality), rise in preference for minimal invasive surgeries, and increase in endoscopy procedures. In addition, the unmet medical demands in developing countries and miniaturization of videoscopic devices offer lucrative opportunities for growth of this market. However, lack of skilled professionals and high costs associated with medical videoscopes restrain the market growth.
Endoscopy cameras is anticipated to dominate the visualization & documentation segment, accounting for over one-fifth of total share in 2015.
