Report Scope of the Endoscope Washer Disinfector Market

Increase in Need for Decontamination of Endoscopes Propelling Global Market

Decontamination and reprocessing of endoscopes help prevent cross-infections and misdiagnosis. The process of decontamination along with microbiological surveillance can provide early detection of colonization and biofilm formation within the endoscope. This can prevent the spread of infection from one individual to another. Hence, endoscope washer disinfectors are highly recommended for reprocessing of endoscopes in order to conduct all the steps of decontamination of the endoscope.

Rise in Usage of Endoscopes for Minimally Invasive Surgeries Augmenting Endoscope Washer Disinfector Market

Endoscopes are made in such a way that these need to be decontaminated in a specific manner without the use of high temperature. Hence, the decontamination procedure requires endoscope washer disinfector to carry out the process. Usage of endoscopes for minimally invasive surgeries is increasing, as these surgeries are easier, less painful, and involve lesser complications in after-surgery care. Furthermore, patients recover faster. After usage, endoscopes get highly contaminated with secretions, blood, microorganisms, and other harmful matter. Therefore, these require a disinfection cycle in order to prevent contamination between patients.

Efficiency and Less Space Required Driving Single Chamber Segment

In terms of product type, the global endoscope washer disinfector market has been classified into single chamber and multi-chamber. The single chamber segment held larger global endoscope washer disinfector market share (around 72%) in 2021. The trend is projected to continue during the forecast period. The segment is driven by the increase in usage of single chamber washer disinfectors, as these are efficient and require less space.

Low Cost and Easy Portability Fueling Small Segment

Based on size, the global endoscope washer disinfector market has been bifurcated into small and large. The small segment held major share of around 64% in 2021. The trend is anticipated to continue during the forecast period. Growth of the segment can be ascribed to the increase in affordability of the device and easy portability, such that it can be carried easily.

Growth in Need to Reuse Endoscopes Bolstering Hospitals Segment

In terms of end-user, the global endoscope washer disinfector market has been segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The hospitals segment held major share of around 65% in 2021. Growth of the segment can be ascribed to the increase in number of patients who visit hospitals for diagnosis of various diseases and rise in number of hospitals that purchase endoscope washer disinfectors due to the need to reuse the endoscopes.

Regional Outlook of Global Endoscope Washer Disinfector Market

North America accounted for the largest share of around 35% of the global market in terms of revenue in 2021. This can be ascribed to the increase in number of healthcare providers that upgrade machines such as endoscope washer disinfectors in order to reduce infections and provide better treatments.

Asia Pacific held around 29% share of the global market in 2021. The market in the region is expected to grow at a faster pace due to the rise in government focus on the development of health care infrastructure and increase in usage of endoscope washers and disinfectors in order to reuse endoscopes, as disposable single use endoscopes are expensive.

Europe held larger share of the global market in 2021 than Latin America and Middle East & Africa. However, the market in Latin America is likely to grow at a faster rate than that in Middle East & Africa during the forecast period.
