The vaginal specula market is expected to grow from US$ 955.66 million in 2022 to US$ 1,180.41 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2022 to 2028.

A vaginal speculum is a medical device typically used to examine vaginal orifices by doctors and medical practitioners. The variations in the size of the specula allow examining cases where a woman’s hymen is intact. The instruments are made up of either metal or non-metal material, and the gynecologists use the device to open the vaginal wall to examine the vagina and cervix and extract cervical cells for PAP or smear examination. Invasive cervical malignancy (ICC) is the second most frequent female cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); it ranks seventh among the most common cancer types in high-income countries. ~341,843 women died in 2020 due to cervical cancer, and 90% lived in less-developed countries with limited access to prevention, screening, and treatment facilities. Therefore, the rise in the number of cervical cancer is leading to more awareness about this disease among women.

The vaginal specula market is segmented into product, type, procedure, end user, and geography. By geography, the market is broadly segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. This report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the market, emphasizing parameters, such as market trends, market dynamics, and the competitive analysis of the globally leading market players.

Market Insights

Rise in Incidence of Cervical Cancer and Increasing Number of Diagnostics Services for Women Health to Drive Vaginal Specula market

There have been many developments in techniques involved in vaginal examinations. The use of illumination sources with longer shelf life in gynecological procedures can encourage vaginal specula manufacturers to develop and introduce more advanced products. Research is being conducted on the development of small and pain-free devices for vaginal examination. A unique bi-valve vaginal speculum applicator provides a direct view of the cervix while allowing for CT-guided catheter placement. Further, new interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) devices are offered with intracavitary applicators. The use of additional interstitial needle applicators under CT guidance improves intracavitary dose distribution while expanding the entire vaginal canal and aiding visual confirmation of the position of the needle tip at the tumor location.

Researchers at Duke University are testing a tampon-size device with a 2-megapixel camera attached at its end for better visualization of the cervix. The light source and camera are designed to aid visibility and improve patient outcomes. Such developments in vaginal specula create significant growth opportunities for the market players.

A few examples of companies that have participated in mergers and acquisitions are listed below:

  • In December 2021, Baxter announced the acquisition of Hillrom, one of the leading manufacturers of vaginal specula. This acquisition unlocked the next phase of the company's transformation for greater impact on patients, employees, clinicians, and shareholders worldwide.
  • In December 2021, CooperCompanies acquired Generate Life Sciences, a leading donor egg and sperm provider for fertility treatments, fertility cryopreservation services, and newborn stem cell storage (cord blood and cord tissue), for ~$1.6 billion. This acquisition will help CooperCompanies to strengthen its sales further.
  • In March 2021, Vernacare acquired Robinson Healthcare, the owner of the UK’s market-leading, single-use surgical instrument brand - Instrapac. The acquisition continues Vernacare’s buy and build strategy and increases the Group’s turnover to £120 million annually.
  • In March 20221, CooperSurgical announced the acquisition of Safe Obstetric Systems, the inventors of the patented single-use product—the Fetal Pillow. CooperSurgical's range of labor and delivery products will be expanded to better serve healthcare practitioners and their patients as a result of the purchase, which builds on over 30 years of experience in women's healthcare.
  • In February 2021, CooperSurgical announced the acquisition of AEGEA Medical and its FDA-approved Mara Water Vapor Ablation System from California-based AEGEA Medical. CooperSurgical's increasing range of medical products focused on the clinic & practice-based women's health, which is complemented by the acquisition and builds on over 30 years of experience in women's healthcare.

Such mergers and acquisitions by market players are driving the vaginal specula market.

Product Insights

Based on the product, the vaginal specula market is bifurcated into vaginal speculum with smoke evacuator and vaginal speculum without smoke evacuator. The vaginal speculum without smoke evacuator segment hold the largest share of the market in 2022. However, the vaginal speculum with smoke evacuator segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. During pelvic exams, clinicians utilize a vaginal speculum as a tool. Cervical cancer has a higher possibility of prevention and treatment than many other types of cancer. Although it remains one of the severe threats to women's health globally, it can be managed effectively and prevented with HPV vaccination.

Services Insights

Based on type, the global vaginal specula market is bifurcated into disposable and reusable. Disposable vaginal specula are softer and have a rounded edge that prevents injuries and offers comfort to patients. These specula are much cheaper than reusable specula and also reduce the cost of sterilization. The major advantage of using disposable vaginal specula is reducing contamination risk. Further, the transparent body of the device allows better visualization of the examination area.

A  few techniques used for designing specula are Moore Graves, Weisman Graves, and Pederson. For manufacturing disposable vaginal specula, Graves' techniques are used and are available in various sizes. A few companies operating in the vaginal specula market, such as Welch Allyn (Hill-Rom), Henleys Medical Supplies, Dynarex, McKesson Medical-Surgical Inc., and Stericycle, offer disposable vaginal specula.

 

Mergers and acquisitions are highly adopted strategies by the global vaginal specula market players. A few of the recent key market developments are listed below:

In May 2021, CooperSurgical acquired OBP Medical, including its portfolio of single-use illuminated vaginal speculums, anoscopes, and laryngoscopes. CooperSurgical's purchase shows the company's commitment to creating meaningful solutions that meet providers' demands.
