Capsule endoscopy refers to a diagnostic procedure used for obtaining images of the esophagus, stomach and small intestines. It involves the use of a small capsule-encased camera, which is swallowed and passed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure is minimally invasive (MI), painless and does not require the administration of anesthesia. It enables the physician to take thousands of images of the internal organs which are not accessible through the traditionally used imaging solutions. As a result, capsule endoscopy is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, chronic abdominal pain, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, excessive bleeding and ulcers.
Capsule Endoscopy Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders and colorectal cancer across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, rising awareness among the masses regarding the availability of painless and MI visualization procedures for the treatment of such ailments is providing a thrust to the market growth. Esophageal, small bowel and colon capsule endoscopes are extensively used across hospitals and other healthcare centers for timely diagnosis and improved patient care. In line with this, the rising geriatric population, which is more susceptible to ailments, such as inflammatory bowel disease, Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding (OGIB) and appendicitis, is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of capsules with longer battery life and Wi-fi compatibility, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are also developing user-friendly and high-resolution cameras with a 360-degree panoramic view. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with extensive improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
