The Global Market for Capsule Endoscope Systems is Projected to Reach US$485.5 Million by 2020
Growing
Incidence of GI Tract Diseases to Drive Demand for Capsule Endoscope Systems,
According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
launches comprehensive analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers,
market share, size and demand forecasts on the global Capsule Endoscope Systems
market. The global market for Capsule
Endoscope Systems is projected to reach US$485.5 million by 2020, driven by aging
population, rising incidence of GI tract diseases, expansion of indications and
technological advances.
Endoscopy
is a non-surgical technique used in visualization of gastrointestinal tract for
disease diagnosis. Although a gold standard in diagnosis of various
gastrointestinal (GI) tract diseases, conventional endoscopy suffers from
certain limitations such as its invasiveness, procedure-associated discomfort
and inability to screen small intestine. Capsule endoscopy is an advanced
visualization technique developed to address some of the shortcomings of
conventional endoscopy and provide a safe, reliable and easy to use
alternative. Key factors driving demand for capsule endoscope systems include inherent
benefits such as the wireless nature of the system, relative ease in conducting
the procedure, lower or no patient discomfort and lack of need for using
sedatives during the procedure. Aging population, growing incidence of
gastrointestinal diseases, increasing shift towards minimally/non-invasive
procedures, technological advances and expansion of indications are other
factors driving growth in adoption of capsule endoscope systems.
The
technology behind capsule endoscopy witnessed significant developments since
its first introduction, with improvements in battery life, image resolution and
miniaturization among others. While visualization was the initial purpose of
developing capsule endoscopy, efforts to expand scope to include active
manipulation of capsules during its transit and use in therapeutic applications
have been on the rise in recent years. Ongoing research is focused on
developing capsules that enable sampling tissues of the gastroduodenal tract as well as enabling administration
of therapeutic agents, which includes approaches such as controlled CO2
insufflation system, targeted drug delivery system, biopsy equipment, tagging,
and mobile robotic platform among others. Such efforts are expected to result
in technological advances that enable expansion of capabilities of capsule
endoscopy in the coming years.
As
stated by the new market research report on Capsule Endoscope Systems, the United States
represents the largest market worldwide. Aging baby boomers with GI diseases,
favorable reimbursements policies, early adoption of the technology,
availability of key products and technological advancements are the major
factors leading to higher adoption of capsule endoscope systems in the country.
Asia-Pacific is projected to emerge as the fastest growing market with a CAGR
of 10.9% through the analysis period. Growing awareness, developing healthcare
infrastructure, increasing healthcare spending, and easy affordable access to latest
medical technologies are key factors driving growth in the region.
