Executive Summary:

World GI Endoscopy Devices Market Expected To Reach $2.9 Billion By The End Of 2009.

GI tract diseases are some of the most common causes of hospitalization, with an estimated 70 million people annually treated in the US alone. Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the US, 60 percent of which are preventable with early detection. Prevalence of IBD or inflammatory bowel disease in the US is 1 million and 10 new cases per 100,000 people are diagnosed each year. IBD accounts for 700,000 physician visits per year and 100,000 hospitalizations annually in the US. Demand for minimally invasive, sensitive diagnostic and surgical methods such as endoscopy are on the rise. A newly published report by Marketstrat Inc. on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Markets Worldwide projects a CAGR of more than 6 percent in the world GI endoscopy market over the 2008 to 2016 period.

Gastrointestinal disorders comprise a wide array of acute and chronic disorders in people of all ages. Endoscopy has become the gold standard for diagnosis and treatment of many of these conditions; one of the main uses is screening for colorectal polyps and their subsequent removal. Government programs worldwide and healthcare advocates are encouraging routine screening for older people thought to be at an elevated risk. More than 14 million colonoscopies are performed annually in the US. The colonoscopy market is estimated to grow worldwide as new research findings validate the usefulness of early intervention that can save millions of lives. GI endoscopy is also useful for diagnosing GERD, IBS, IBD, blockages in the pancreatic and bile ducts, unblocking other sections of the gut by removing strictures, foreign objects, etc.

Examples of GI Endoscopic devices and their applications:

• ERCP devices - Biliary stone lithotripters, balloon dilators and stone removal devices among others can be used to remove obstructions from the Biliary and pancreatic ducts. The world market for ERCP devices will exhibit strong growth in the upcoming years.
• Esophageal dilation balloons can be introduced through the endoscope and inflated to remove obstructions.
• Colonoscopes are flexible endoscopes that can be inserted through the anus to help detect and remove polyps that can grow into malignant tumors. The main driver for growth worldwide for GI endoscopes market will be the demand for colonoscopes, sigmoidoscopes and ultrasound endoscopes. The EUS market will have the greatest growth in the upcoming years.
• Polypectomy snares are used to remove polyps. The polypectomy snare market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 5 percent over the 2008 to 2016 period.
• Hemostasis devices help control bleeding in the intestine; these include various devices inserted through an endoscope including bands and clips, argon plasma coagulation Probes or radiofrequency probes and sclerotherapy needles. The high growth segments in the world market for GI hemostasis devices are expected to be ligation bands and ligation clips.
• GI Stents that may be metal or plastic also help keep the GI tract open. Metals stents such as the SEMs (self-expandable metallic stents) are slowly replacing plastic stents in many parts of the world. The GI stents market will also grow steadily over the next few years. Off-label use for cardiovascular stenting has been documented and causing great concern. In the US, about one million off-label uses of biliary stents are thought to have occurred from 2003 through 2006 leading to adverse events.
• Biopsy forceps are used to remove unwanted tissue and foreign objects. Moderate growth is expected over the next few years in the GI biopsy forceps market.
• Reprocessed biopsy forceps are single use forceps that have been reprocessed. These are in great demand as end-users look to cutting costs. The world market for reprocessed biopsy devices will skyrocket over the next few years, comprising the largest growth segment in GI endoscopy.
• Retrieval devices are baskets and nets used to help remove stones, tissue and foreign objects.
• Enteral feeding devices are pumps and accessories. The enteral feeding market is expected to grow due to rising rates of neurological conditions and other chronic diseases like diabetes and stomach cancer.
• Capsule endoscopes are ingestible endoscopes that wirelessly transmit images to help diagnose GI disorders. This is an emerging technology, contributing greatly to the overall growth of the GI endoscopy devices market. The capsule endoscopy market is expected to be one of the fastest growing segments.
• Virtual colonoscopy is CT colonoscopy which presents a good alternative to traditional colonoscopy. Since it is only useful for screening purposes, definitive diagnosis and surgery still require traditional colonoscopy. The CT colonoscopy market is expected to grow worldwide although growth in the US will be negatively impacted by lack of Medicare reimbursement.
• The report presents estimates and forecasts in US dollars for all the above product segments and their sub-segments by geographical region including the US, Europe, Japan, and Rest of the World.
