Market Segmentation

The gastroscopes market share is classified into type and application.

• The standard gastroscopes segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.           

Based on the type, the gastroscopes market is divided into standard gastroscopes, trans nasal gastroscopes, therapeutic gastroscopes, dual channel gastroscopes, and others. Among these, the standard gastroscopes segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The main reason for this supremacy is that gastroscopes are widely used in normal gastrointestinal diagnostics, both at hospitals and diagnostic centers. The standard gastroscopes are the most popular choice because they are relatively inexpensive, easily available, and can be integrated into the existing endoscopy systems. They are commonly used to identify conditions such as gastritis, ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The use of gastroscopes is further enhanced by high physician familiarity and established clinical protocols. The market for standard gastroscopes is supported by strong demand in both developed and underdeveloped countries.

 

• The gastric ulcer segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.     

Based on the application, the gastroscopes market is divided into contraindications, gastric ulcer, chronic gastritis, normal mucosa, and others. Among these, the gastric ulcer segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.  This leading position is attributed to the high worldwide occurrence of gastric ulcers, which are mainly caused by infections with Helicobacter pylori, the use of NSAIDs, and unhealthy lifestyles. Gastroscopes are used as the main diagnosis devices to see ulcerations and also to check how effective the treatment is. The growing awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and preventing complications is a factor that supports the segment growth. In fact, hospitals and clinics regularly perform gastroscopies for the purposes of ulcer detection and patient follow-up. The growing incidence of stress-related gastrointestinal disorders is another factor that adds up to the volume of procedures performed. Moreover, the advancements in technology that made high-resolution visualization possible have positively impacted the diagnostic accuracy. The segment's sales are supported by strong reimbursement schemes in developed markets. The demand for the procedures is further increased by the growing population of elderly people. Due to the fact that gastric ulcers are still a major problem in the gastrointestinal area, this segment continues to hold a strong market share.
