UAE Endoscopy Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

UAE Endoscopy Devices Market Analysis

During the time frame of the forecast, the UAE endoscopy devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.63 %.

The COVID-19 pandemic was expected to significantly impact the endoscopic devices market. This was mainly due to the reduction of endoscopy procedures in the initial stages of the pandemic, owing to the strict regulations imposed by the government. For instance, the SJMPS article published in February 2022 mentioned that endoscopy procedures decreased by 57% during the pandemic period in comparison with the pre-pandemic period. Such a decrease in the endoscopy procedure volume had a notable impact on the growth of the market. However, the relaxation of strict lockdown regulations, leading to an increase in endoscopy procedures during the post-pandemic period, is expected to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period.

The increasing preference for minimally invasive diagnostic procedures in the detection of various chronic diseases is expected to contribute to the growth of the market. For instance, the NCBI article published in November 2021 mentioned that the prevalence of colorectal cancer in the United Arab Emirates was 0.78%. Another article published in the BMC journal in August 2021 mentioned that 13.5% of the population in Abu Dhabi tested positive for colorectal cancer. Such a high incidence of colorectal cancer in the UAE is expected to drive the demand for minimally invasive procedures such as endoscopy, thereby contributing to the growth of the market. However, the lack of skilled technicians and infections caused by a lack of endoscopes are expected to restrain the growth of the market over the forecast period.

UAE Endoscopy Devices Industry Segmentation

As per the scope of the market, endoscopy is a minimally invasive medical procedure that diagnoses, prevents, and treats the complications associated with visceral organs. Endoscopes are used to examine the interiors of hollow organs or cavities in the body. Endoscopy devices are equipped with several other parts, such as a camera or light source at the tip, that help physicians or medical professionals (endoscopists) analyze the internal organs of interest. The UAE endoscopy devices market is segmented by type of device (endoscopes (rigid endoscope, flexible endoscope, and other endoscopes), endoscopic operational device (irrigation/suction system, access device, wound protector, and other operational devices), and application (gastroenterology, pulmonary, urology, cardiology, gynecology, and other applications). The report offers the value (in USD million) for the above segments.
