Capsule Endoscopy Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis

The global capsule endoscopy market is expected to grow from US$ 465.72 million in 2022 to US$ 757.51 million by 2031; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2022 to 2031.

According to The Korean Society of Neurogastroenterology and Motility report, functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are a group of gastrointestinal disorders (GI) involving various combinations of chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms or biochemical abnormalities. The rising prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders is driving the overall capsule endoscopy market growth. Capsule endoscopy (CE) is also utilized for detecting small-bowel disease obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, small-bowel tumors, and other diseases. Functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are the most widely recognized FGIDs. Additionally, the demand for capsule endoscopy is high in cases related to the GI tract as capsule endoscopy involves the diagnosis of obscure GI bleeding and chronic iron-deficiency anemia, small bowel tumors, and assessment of treatment outcomes of celiac and Crohn's disease. Also, capsule endoscopy is highly equipped for screening celiac disease (CD). Celiac disease is a serious genetic autoimmune disease that damages the small intestine's villi and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food. The Beyond Celiac 2022 report states that approximately 1 in 133 Americans, or ~1% of the population, have celiac disease. Additionally, in Finland, the prevalence of the celiac disease is ~1.99% among the total population. Further, capsule endoscopy is highly considered when clinical symptoms are highly suspicious and related to celiac disease. For example, CE modifying the clinical course, particularly in cases with positive serology at the baseline and the capsule endoscopy procedure, is considered safe and useful and plays a critical role in misleading diagnosis for CD. Therefore, the influx of capsule endoscopy for gastrointestinal disorders is expected to fuel the overall market growth during the forecast period.

Technological advancements in capsule endoscopy are supporting the overall market growth. The influx of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is attributed to the continued technological advancements in imaging. Further, AI-encompassed VCE involves the diagnosis of tumors, gastrointestinal bleeding, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. Also, advancements in the imaging of VCE involve hardware and software improvements with advancements in components of capsules involving the camera, power source, and transmission unit. Software improvement such as the advent of AI in VCE is expected to expand the reach of VCE in the field of optical biopsy, becoming a clinical reality. Therefore, the advent of technology enhances the overall capsule endoscopy market growth during the forecast period.

Strategic Insights

Regional Overview

North America accounts for the largest share of the capsule endoscopy market, with the US being the major contributor to the market growth. New product approval by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is a standalone factor responsible for the significant growth of the overall capsule endoscopy market. For instance, in November 2021, Medtronic announced receiving clearance for “PillCam Small Bowel 3 system” by the FDA intended for a remote endoscopy procedure. The newly launched product offers a telehealth option for direct visualization and monitoring of the small bowel that help detect lesions in the lower endoscope (indicates Crohn's disease, detect obscure bleeding, and other GI disorders). Thus, the aforementioned factors are likely to propel the market growth in North America in the coming years.

Product Insights

Based on product, the capsule endoscopy market is bifurcated into endoscopy capsule and components. The endoscopy capsule segment held a larger share of the market in 2022. The growth of the segment is attributed to the advantages associated with the endoscopy capsule for the diagnosis and detection of complex health conditions involving GI disorders, cancer, Crohn's disease, and other small bowel disorders. Capsule endoscopy can detect Crohn's disease through mucosal inflammation, disease extension, and strictures. Also, capsule endoscopy can detect disease in the terminal ileum with 100% image quality compared to other technologies such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance heterography. Therefore, capsule endoscopy is highly recommended in patients with known, suspected, or relapsed Crohn's disease. Such lucrative benefits offered by endoscopy capsule intended for complex health conditions such as Crohn’s disease are supporting the segment growth.

Companies operating in the capsule endoscopy market adopt product innovation strategies to meet the evolving demands across the world, allowing them to maintain their brand name in the market.
