Geographic Snapshot: Gastrointestinal Devices MedTech Market

Comprehensive regional and country-level assessment of the global Gastrointestinal Devices MedTech market covering U.S., Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World suggests that U.S. is likely to dominate the market next 5 years while China will grow faster compared to other geographies.

Gastrointestinal Devices MedTech market benefits from presence of large players like Olympus and Boston Scientific (BSX) but number of start-up companies have emerged especially in AI, single-use instruments

GI endoscopes, endotherapy devices, laparoscopes, and laparoscopic devices are four major market segments. Olympus, Fujifilm, and Hoya are top 3 players in endoscope market with Olympus alone accounting for major chunk. Endotherapy devices is the fastest growing market segment and is dominated by BSX with more than 50% market share. Laparoscope’s market is dominated by Stryker, Karl Storz, and Olympus. On the other hand, top 5 players accounted for more than 70% share of laparoscopic devices market.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and single-use endoscopy have attracted PE investment recently

Traditional endoscopy has a long track record in healthcare, but the images produced by the procedure are subject to the assessment of clinicians, potentially leading to wide variations in interpretations. However, AI-assisted endoscopy is perceived to have potential to provide consistent results and improve patient care owing to which PEs are investing in AI providers. For instance, in August 2021, Iterative Scopes raised $30 mi Series A Financing to Advance AI-Driven Precision Medicine for Gastroenterology. Similarly, single-use endoscopy is likely to be focus area in coming years with key players already started to add these to portfolio. Also, smaller/niche players are receiving funding. For instance, in October 2021, IQ endoscope received £4 mi (~$5 mi) for supporting regulatory approval process for its single use flexible gastroscope, as well as accelerating the development of its single use flexible colonoscope.
