The global endoscopy equipment market is on a strong growth trajectory, projected to reach USD 53.54 billion by 2030, up from USD 37.08 billion in 2025, registering a CAGR of 7.6% (2025–2030). According to the latest MarketsandMarkets™ report, this surge is fueled by rising demand for minimally invasive procedures, rapid advancements in robot-assisted and AI-integrated endoscopy systems, and increasing day-care and outpatient surgical volumes worldwide.
Market Overview: Why Endoscopy Equipment Demand Is Rising
The endoscopy devices market has witnessed significant innovation in recent years. Growing cases of gastrointestinal (GI), pulmonary, and urological disorders are driving procedural volumes across hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs).
Key factors fueling market growth include:
- Rising patient preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) that reduce pain, hospital stay, and recovery time.
- Increased adoption of disposable endoscopes to reduce infection risks and improve clinical efficiency.
- Technological advancements in imaging, AI-based diagnostics, and robot-assisted endoscopy systems.
- Government healthcare investments and expansion of outpatient endoscopy centers, especially in the U.S. and Asia Pacific.

Key Market Segments
1. By Product
The market is segmented into endoscopes, visualization systems, other endoscopy equipment, and accessories.
Endoscopes Segment Dominates
Within endoscopes, rigid, flexible, robot-assisted, and capsule endoscopes are the major subtypes. Rigid endoscopes are expected to maintain a strong market share, driven by growing adoption in laparoscopy and arthroscopy procedures.
Laparoscopy, in particular, leads due to benefits such as:
- Reduced surgical-site infection (SSI) risks
- Smaller incisions and faster recovery
- Shorter hospital stays and lower costs
Additionally, bronchoscopes are rapidly gaining traction, reflecting the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases and lung cancer globally.
2. By Application
Laparoscopy – The Leading Application
Laparoscopic procedures dominate due to their widespread use in gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), appendectomy, and gynecological surgeries. Their cost-effectiveness and clinical efficiency make them indispensable in modern surgical practice.
Bronchoscopy – The Fastest Growing Segment
Bronchoscopy is anticipated to record the fastest growth rate through 2030. According to the American Cancer Society, the U.S. expects 226,650 new lung cancer cases and 124,730 deaths in 2025—underscoring the urgent need for early detection and minimally invasive pulmonary diagnostics.
Disposable and video bronchoscopes, combined with AI-assisted imaging, are revolutionizing respiratory diagnostics and interventional pulmonology.
3. By End User
- Hospitals remain the largest end-users, supported by advanced infrastructure and integration of robotic systems.
- Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) are witnessing strong growth, reflecting the global shift toward outpatient and same-day procedures.
- Clinics and diagnostic centers are increasingly adopting compact, cost-efficient endoscopy units for faster turnaround and patient convenience.
