flexible endoscope market Overview:
The South Asia flexible endoscope market accounted for $284 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $510 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 7.4% from 2018 to 2025. Flexible endoscopes are devices used to execute minimally invasive surgeries of different parts of the body including visceral organs, cavities, and lumens of mucosal region.
Different types of flexible endoscopes include bronchoscopes, arthroscopes, laparoscopes, urology endoscopes, neuro endoscopes, obstetrics/gynecology endoscopes, gastrointestinal endoscopes, ENT endoscopes, and other applications such as nasopharyngoscopy and laryngoscopy.
Increase in elderly population, surge in adoption of minimally invasive surgeries by the healthcare professionals, rise in patient preference for minimally invasive surgeries, and growth in prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer and arthritis drive the South Asia flexible endoscope market. Furthermore, technological advancements associated with endoscopic cameras for better visualization is also expected to foster the market growth in the near future.
However, dearth of the skilled healthcare professionals in performing the endoscopic surgeries and high cost of minimally invasive devices are the factors anticipated to restrain the growth of the South Asia flexible endoscope market. Conversely, surge in disposable income of population in the South Asia region is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market.
The South Asian flexible endoscope market is segmented based on application, end user and country. Based on application, the market is divided into bronchoscopy, arthroscopy, laparoscopy, urology endoscopy, gastrointestinal endoscopy, neuro endoscopy, obstetrics/gynecology endoscopy, ENT endoscopy, and other applications. Based on end user, it is categorized into hospitals, clinics, and others. By Country, it is analyzed across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and rest of South Asia.
Hospitals account for the largest share among end users for flexible endoscopes, followed by clinics and others. This is attributed to the fact that hospitals are well-equipped with endoscopy units to cater to the different needs of endoscopic procedures. Moreover, endoscopy units at hospitals are equipped with video endoscopy system, trolleys, cabinets, monitoring & documentation equipment, medication, insufflators, and other apparatus required to perform endoscopy modalities. Furthermore, the market for flexible endoscopes is developing in the most remote regions of South Asia. For instance, in June 2017, Human Organ Transplant Centre (HOTC), Bhaktapur became the premiere public hospital to provide endoscopic ultrasound service in Nepal.
Laparoscopy application segment dominated the South Asia flexible endoscope market in 2017. This is attributed to the increase in obese population and rise in demand for minimal invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy for weight reduction (bariatric surgeries). Furthermore, surge in geriatric population, rise in health awareness, and increased adoption of minimally invasive surgeries by the healthcare professionals is also anticipated to boost the growth of the South Asia flexible endoscope market.

Analyst Review
The utilization of flexible endoscopes is expected to witness significant growth, owing to increase in prevalence of chronic diseases. Moreover, flexible endoscope devices have piqued the interest of healthcare providers, due to benefits offered by these devices for diagnosis and treatment of clinical disorders along with increase in indications for minimally invasive procedures. Remarkable technological advancements have been witnessed in visualization & navigation systems to improve visualization during screening of chronic ailments.
Surge in incidence of chronic diseases, technological advancements, and increase in emphasis on early prevention of diseases are some of the factors that majorly drive the growth of the market. However, high cost of premium flexible endoscopes and dearth of experienced endoscopists hinder the market growth.
The incidence rate of chronic diseases in patients has drastically increased in the recent years with the shift of the Asian population in the geriatric age group. This factor along with increase in stress in daily life augments the growth of the flexible endoscope market. In addition, flexible endoscope manufacturers and distributors have focused on expanding their presence in emerging economies to strengthen their market penetration.
