China Flexible Endoscopy Industry Analysis to 2025: $8.8 Billion Flexible Endoscopy Market Size with Widespread Application of Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures
Flexible endoscopes are bendable medical devices used for inspection and diagnosis in human body cavities. Flexible endoscopes enter the natural cavities of the human body (e.g., esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and urinary system, etc.) through soft insertion tubes, and transmit images or videos in real time to help doctors observe the internal tissue structure, and perform lesion detection, biopsy sampling, or minimally invasive surgeries.
Flexible endoscopes are mainly composed of an image processing host and an external mirror body. The mirror body is responsible for the acquisition and transmission of optical signals, while the host computer is responsible for the reception, processing and output of image signals. Its main feature is that it is highly flexible, capable of bending and adapting to complex anatomical structures in the body, usually consisting of a slender, flexible tubular structure equipped with fiber optic and digital imaging systems, as well as a variety of operating tool interfaces.
The introduction of high-definition (HD) and 4K imaging technologies has enabled flexible endoscopes to provide higher quality and clearer images, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes, and the China flexible endoscopy market size is expected to grow by 8.4% year-on-year in 2025.
With the popularization of early cancer screening in the digestive tract and new endoscopic procedures, the domestic flexible endoscopy market is expected to continue to grow at a faster rate, and the continuous progress and innovation of technology will also promote the development of the flexible endoscopy industry, providing more powerful support for medical diagnosis and treatment.
