Disposable Flexible Duodenoscope Market Size

The disposable flexible duodenoscope market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.09%, attaining US$1,940.754 million by 2030, from US$1,377.901  million in 2025.

A duodenoscope is a type of long and flexible endoscope, which is inserted through the mouth. The duodenoscope is majorly used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP. The disposable and flexible duodenoscope offers sterile application of duodenoscope and eliminates the use of reprocessing. 

The major factor propelling the growth of the global disposable flexible duodenoscope market during the forecasted timeline is the increasing demand for ERCP procedures.

ERCP procedure, or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure is a type of diagnosis treatment, which combines gastrointestinal endoscopy and x-ray diagnosis. The ERCP procedure offers key benefits in the diagnosis of multiple types of pancreatitis or liver cancer. Similarly, the ongoing advancements in biotechnology and medical technology are expected to significantly boost the global market for disposable flexible duodenoscopes. These technological improvements are anticipated to enhance the development of video duodenoscope solutions, which improve visualization and incorporate high-definition imaging systems. This revision maintains the original meaning while enhancing clarity and flow.

Disposable Flexible Duodenoscope Market Growth Drivers:

  • Increasing global cases of pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is a disease in which the pancreas of the patient swells. Pancreatitis is among the most common type of gastrointestinal diseases, that prevails among almost every age group of the population. The global cases of pancreatitis witnessed a significant increase, boosting the demand for duodenoscopes during the forecasted timeline. The duodenoscope diagnostic procedure helps medical professionals visualize and analyze the biliary and pancreatic ducts. Similarly, the utilization of single-use or disposable duodenoscopes helps reduce the infection outbreak, which is associated with the reuse of endoscopes.

The National Library of Medicine, of the US Government stated that the prevalence and severity of acute pancreatitis in the individual varies widely among the population. The morbidity rate in acute pancreatitis is higher. The agency further stated that the mortality rate of acute pancreatitis in the individual ranges from 3% to 20%, in which the mortality rate of individual with edematous pancreatitis is as low as 3%, and individual with pancreatitis necrosis is as high as 20% in the nation. Furthermore, the library also stated that about 200,000 hospital admissions in the nation annually are related to acute pancreatitis. In the nation, gallstone contributes to about 30% to 40% of the total cases of acute pancreatitis, whereas alcohol use contributes to 30% of the total cases annually.

  • Growing global adult population

The growing global adult population is among the major factors propelling the growth of the disposable flexible duodenoscope market, during the forecasted timeline. With the increasing age of the individual, the prevalence of various types of gastrointestinal disorders increases. Various global medical studies and reports stated that the adult population across the globe is more prone to several types of gastrointestinal diseases, which include diseases like pancreatitis and bile duct obstructions.

The global population aged 65 and above witnessed a major increase over the past few years. The World Health Organization, in its forecast report, stated that by 2030, every 1 in 6 individuals residing across the globe will be aged 60 or above. The agency further stated that by 2050, the total population of individuals aged 60 or above is estimated at 2.1 billion. Similarly, the World Bank, in its report stated that in 2021, the total population aged 65 and above was recorded at 754.681 million, which increased to 778.122 million in 2022, and 804.475 million in 2023.
