Endoscope Reprocessing Market with Upcoming trends and Industry Outlook 2026

BRUSSELS - Aug. 19, 2022 - PRLog -- The increasing number of gastrointestinal (GI), respiratory, ear, urinary tract, and female reproductive tract procedures, increasing preference for minimally invasive surgeries & growing usage of endoscopy for the diagnosis & treatment of several disorders, high risk of endoscope-related infections due to contaminated endoscopes, technological advancements in endoscope reprocessing products, rising hospital investments in endoscopy facilities, roll-out & implementation of reprocessing guidelines for endoscopy units by healthcare authorities are some of the key factors driving the global endoscope reprocessing market.

The Global Endoscope Reprocessing Market is expected to witness a growth rate of 10% in the next 5 years. However, the shortage of trained professionals and a growing preference for single-use endoscopes are some of the factors that might hamper the growth of the market.

The Resurgence of Endoscope Reprocessing Market Post Covid-19

Covid-19 adversely impacted health services internationally and the endoscope reprocessing market was no different. Specialties such as gastroenterology were directly affected by Covid-19. The pandemic adversely impacted the workflow and safety of endoscopists, ancillary staff, and patients. Shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE), curtailed patient volume, dearth of testing kits, workforce furloughs, and lockdowns forced units to drastically reduce the volume of the procedures, postpone and even cancel GI procedures in medium- to low-risk cases. The dip in the number of endoscopy procedures resulted in a decline in endoscope reprocessing revenue.

"Due to growing penetration of endoscopes across hospitals globally, the demand for scope reprocessing is rising as it plays a critical role in the fight against health care acquired infections (HCAI) and contributes to a more sustainable health care."- Senior Director, Leading Automated Endoscope Reprocessor (AER) Manufacturer, United States
