Virtual colonoscopy software refers to specialized scanning and advanced imaging software that utilizes computed tomography to generate both 2D and 3D images of the colon. This software plays a pivotal role in the screening and detection of colorectal cancer, offering a less invasive alternative to the traditional colonoscopy procedure.
Virtual colonoscopy software encompasses a range of product types, including two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) software solutions. In this context, 2D signifies objects or shapes existing in a two-dimensional, flat plane defined by length and width. 2D products within virtual colonoscopy software play a significant role in the detection and examination of colorectal abnormalities. These software solutions can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, and they find applications in various clinical scenarios, including the evaluation of conditions such as polyps, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, colorectal cancer (CRC), diverticulosis, and stenosis. The end-users of virtual colonoscopy software encompass hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and ambulatory surgical centers.

The virtual colonoscopy software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $33.69 billion in 2024 to $36.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in imaging technology, aging population, remote consultations, reimbursement policies.
The virtual colonoscopy software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $47.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global healthcare access, personalized screening, telemedicine, patient education and awareness. Major trends in the forecast period include ai-assisted image analysis, improved 3d visualization, patient-centered care, elevated privacy and data security.
The rising prevalence of colorectal cancer is poised to be a driving force behind the expansion of the virtual colonoscopy software market in the foreseeable future. Colorectal cancer, a form of cancer that develops in the tissues of the colon or rectum, is effectively addressed with the aid of virtual colonoscopy software. This software offers a minimally invasive and non-invasive approach to screen for and detect abnormalities within the colon. As an illustration, data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer in September 2022 projected a notable increase in the global incidence of colorectal cancer. It was estimated that by 2040, there would be 3.2 million new cases and 1.6 million deaths attributed to colorectal cancer annually, representing a significant rise from the 1.9 million newly diagnosed cases and 930,000 deaths recorded in 2020. Consequently, the escalating incidence of colorectal cancer is a key driver of growth in the virtual colonoscopy software market.
The increase in disease prevalence and mortality associated with various chronic conditions is anticipated to foster the growth of the virtual colonoscopy software market. Chronic diseases, characterized by long-lasting conditions that can be managed but not cured, have contributed to a surge in diagnostic screening procedures for a range of intestinal ailments, including rectal cancer, colon cancer, and other gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding-related disorders. This rise in diagnostic screenings has subsequently heightened the demand for virtual colonoscopy software, which plays a crucial role in colorectal cancer prevention by identifying and removing polyps before they progress to cancer. For example, research published by the American Cancer Society in January 2022 projected 609,360 cancer-related deaths and 1.9 million new cancer cases in the United States for the year 2022, highlighting the substantial impact of chronic diseases. This equates to approximately 1,670 fatalities daily. Thus, the increase in chronic disease incidence and mortality is a significant driver of growth in the virtual colonoscopy software market.
Prominent companies within the virtual colonoscopy software market are actively embracing advanced technological solutions, particularly AI-based endoscopy, to maintain their market positions. AI-based endoscopy involves the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology into gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy procedures. For instance, in August 2022, Medtronic PLC, a U.S.-based medical device company, introduced the GI Genius module, an AI-powered endoscopy module designed for the treatment of colorectal cancer. This innovative module harnesses AI and deep learning algorithms to assist physicians in the detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. It enhances visualization during colonoscopy and leverages AI software to identify suspicious polyps in real-time, facilitating early detection of colorectal cancer.
In March 2023, Nvidia Corporation, a U.S.-based software company, joined forces with Medtronic PLC to enhance the detection capabilities of Medtronic's GI Genius software, a technology designed to spot colorectal polyps. The collaboration involves the integration of Nvidia's AI technologies into the GI Genius intelligent endoscopy module, enhancing its real-time ability to detect colorectal adenomas and polyps along the colon's lining during a colonoscopy. Medtronic PLC, a U.S.-based medical device company with a focus on manufacturing medical devices and therapies, spearheads this collaborative effort.
