Increasing prevalence of pancreatic, bile duct tumors, and various gastrointestinal diseases is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the global duodenoscopes market

Global Duodenoscopes Market - Overview

Duodenoscope is flexible, lighted weighted tubes that are released through the mouth, throat, and stomach into the top of the small intestine. These are specially designed side viewing endoscope for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures, which will help to diagnose diseases associated with pancreas and bile ducts with the help of fluoroscopic imaging procedure. Duodenoscopes are being used in more than 650,000 gastrointestinal procedures in the U.S every year. This is a minimally invasive way to drain out fluids from biliary and pancreatic ducts which are blocked by cancerous tumors, gallstones or others.

Duodenoscope is a more complex device with respect to other endoscopes and is tougher to clean and disinfect. These devices plays an essential role in the treatment of patients, but there has been some evidences which shows that some patients have been transmitted with hospital born and other infectious agents, including antibiotic drug-resistant infections due to these devices. In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) alerted the FDA regarding possible association of multidrug resistant bacterial infections and duodenoscopes. From January 2013 through December 2014, ERCP was associated with infections in 135 patients.

FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG, PENTAX Medical, Olympus Corporation, Custom Ultrasonics, Inc., ENDOMED, and SonoScape and others are some of the prominent players at the forefront of competition in the global duodenoscopes market and are profiled in MRFR Analysis. 

The market of duodenoscopes is growing moderately. Increasing prevalence of pancreatic, bile duct cancer tumors and various gastrointestinal conditions are the major factors contributing to the growth of the global duodenoscopes market. In addition, increasing research and development and technological advancements to identify the causes and risk factors for transmission of infectious agents with duodenoscopes and developing new solutions to minimize patient exposure is another major driver, fuelling the global duodenoscopes market growth. However, increasing FDA recalls for duodenoscopes due to challenging cleaning and high-level disinfection procedures and rising multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are major factors which are restraining the growth of global duodenoscopes market.

According to the latest WHO report (World Health Organization), in 2015, 8.8 million people died across the globe from cancer, which is nearly 1 in 6 of all the global deaths. According to the WHO, approximately 70% of deaths from cancer occur in low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, according to a report by the World Gastroenterology Organization, (2014), 35-40% of world’s total population had acute or chronic GI complication.

The global duodenoscopes market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.83% during the forecast period 2017-2023.
