Electronic Pill Market Size was valued at USD 3.42 Billion in 2023. The Electronic Pill industry is projected to grow from USD 3.64 Billion in 2024 to USD 6.03 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.77% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). The electronic pill is an ingestible capsule that is embedded with sensors and camera. After ingesting the pill, the pill captures several images per second of the gastrointestinal tract which is received by the connected recording device. It is a monitoring system used to monitor temperature, pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen.
Electronic Pills are used for diagnostics of various gastrointestinal tract diseases like colon cancer, colon polyps, gastrointestinal bleeding and other infectious diseases. The increase in preference of non-invasive methods for diagnostics is driving the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising geriatric population, increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases like colorectal cancer, changing lifestyle, increasing unhealthy eating habits, controlled drug delivery and better way of endoscopy procedures are major factors influencing the growth of the market.

Thus, such a high incidence rate of colorectal cancer provides favorable backgrounds for the market growth. Also, growing demand for rapid and precise diagnostics, adoption of advanced technology are the key factors for the market to grow.
However, factors such as bowel obstruction, lack of awareness, capsule retention and high costs are expected to restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
