Capsule Endoscope Systems- Global Pipeline Analysis

July 12, 2011 - PRLog -- The global capsule endoscope systems market was worth $186.9m in 2010 and is expected to reach $323.6m in 2017. Increased adoption of capsule endoscopy, along with advancements in technology and
the availability of High Definition (HD) systems are set to drive the global capsule endoscope systems market. Also driving the market is the increased prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases such as
esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, celiac disease, Crohn’s
disease, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) as well as growing awareness of disease conditions among the general population leading to increase in screening procedures.

Capsule endoscope systems have the fastest growth rate of all other categories in the GI endoscope
devices market. The fast growth of capsule endoscope systems can be attributed to improved reimbursement coverage across developed economies from early on, as well as the increase in screening procedures of the small bowel.

Reimbursement coverage for capsule endoscopy was initially provided for the diagnosis of obscure
bleeding of the small bowel only by third party payers in countries such as Germany. However, as of
December 2009, the reimbursement was extended for capsule endoscopy of the small bowel for
suspected Crohn’s disease, tumors and other pathologies. Several countries including the UK, France,
Sweden and Denmark cover capsule endoscopy for broader indications.

Market growth can also be attributed to increase in number of small bowel screening procedures. Small
intestine pathologies are difficult to diagnose. However, capsule endoscopy was proved useful in diagnosing lesions, tumors and other pathologies that are normally hidden inside mucosal layers. The
efficiency of the capsule endoscope system in this area is resulting in increased physician preference for
small bowel investigations.
