Colonoscopy is endoscopic examination of the large bowel and the distal part of the small bowel with a camera or a fiber optic camera on a flexible tube passed through the anus. It is a medical test to help find potential problems, such as colorectal cancer or polyps. Polyps are small growths. They are not cancer, but they can turn into a cancer. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for colonoscopy devices around the world.
Market Dynamics:
Growing burden of colorectal cancer, increasing number of colonoscopy procedures, high demand for novel, technologically advanced colonoscopy devices, and increasing awareness among people about colonoscopy are major factors expected to propel growth of the global colonoscopy devices market during the forecast period.
For instance, in April 2022, SMART Medical Systems announced an additional Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its G-EYE Colonoscope, based on Olympus' 510(k) cleared PCF colonoscope series. With this additional FDA clearance, G-EYE is now available for use in the U.S. market on the commonly used colonoscope models of all three leading endoscopy brands, such as OLYMPUS, FUJIFILM, and PENTAX Medical.
However, risk associated with colonoscopy procedures and the availability of alternative screening options are major factors expected to hamper the market growth.
