Global ENT Scopes Market Overview

ENT scopes, also known as endoscopes, are defined as long flexible tubes which enable doctors and specialists to look at the internal surfaces to analyze any abnormalities. The device portrays a clear image of internal body organs that are impossible to reach using bare hands.

The demand for ENT scopes is likely to be bolstered by the increasing preference of patients towards minimally invasive diagnostic procedures. During the forecast period, the anticipated increase in demand for ENT scopes in laparoscopic surgeries, laser therapy, microwave ablation, and photodynamic therapy, among others, is likely to further accelerate the ENT scopes market growth. Moreover, the market is anticipated to be positively impacted by technological advancements in endoscopic equipment, leading to the incorporation of high-resolution cameras and superior-quality flexible scopes.

Disposable ENT scopes offer improved patient safety by reducing the risk of damage or infection. In addition to this, lower cost of acquisition, lower time spent on training, no cost associated with reprocessing, and reduced risk of contamination, are some of the key advantages offered.

Over the forecast period, there are expected advancements in optics in disposable scopes, which are likely to lead to better visualization and clarity of organs such as the eye, and throat, among others. These advancements are anticipated to bolster the demand for disposable ENT scopes. Moreover, the growing FDA approvals of disposable scopes equipped with smartphone and surveillance camera technology are further anticipated to encourage product innovations and smart scope developments in the market.

Rising Prevalence of Rhinologic Disorders

The growing prevalence of rhinology conditions, such as allergies, infections, inflammation, and tumors, owing to the increasing exposure to bacteria and viruses, is driving the ENT scopes market growth. Meanwhile, the increasing induction of ENT scopes in hospitals and ENT clinics to increase the speed and quality of diagnosis is further propelling the market growth.

Due to the rising digitization, the use of earphones has increased by multifold. Longer use of earphones has been proven to be a major reason for the rising number of ear infections among people. The snug fit of the earphones creates a humid and warm temperature in the ear which creates a suitable atmosphere for the bacteria to develop and double up causing itching, and fluid flowing out of the ear and may even cause hearing loss eventually.

Further, the increasing prevalence of conditions such as sinusitis and deviated septum among people is also a reason responsible for increased ENT surgical procedures. For instance, according to a retrospective study conducted in December 2022 by Zahraa H. Alsaggaf and team. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sinusitis and its potential connection to a deviated nasal septum (DNS) and other factors in patients at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH). Among 676 participants, the study found that sinusitis was common among people aged 31-40 age group. Almost half the patients were suffering from sinusitis and three-fourths had a deviated nasal septum (DNS).

Such studies highlight the need to address the issue of sinusitis among people with more technologically advanced equipment and procedures poised to drive the global ENT scopes market demand. These procedures could be septum correction and other procedures that will eventually require ENT scope to assist the surgical procedure, providing convenience to the surgeons while reducing the chances of errors.

Global Initiatives Leading to Increased Access to Ear Care

In March 2023, the World Health Organization released a training manual to address the seriousness of increasing issues related to ear and hearing among people. This new manual may result in increased ENT scopes demand globally due to the increasing awareness about ear problems and early diagnosing among people. The practical guide on the prevention, identification, and management of hearing loss and common ear diseases will address the absence of enough specialists. This may increase the number of healthcare professionals as it can be used to train health workers and doctors working at community level primary healthcare facilities, resulting in market growth during the forecast period.

Innovative Product Launches

In September 2023, Verathon®, a global leader in airway management solutions, launched the GlideScope® Go™ 2, the latest innovation in handheld video laryngoscopes. Designed for urgent and critical situations where every second counts, GlideScope Go 2 delivers GlideScope confidence and performance in a handheld form factor. Incorporating the latest magnetic QuickConnect™ technology with its simple, secure connection, enables the clinician to place more attention on the patient. GlideScope Go 2 is compatible with Spectrum QC and Video Baton QC Large with GVL Stats.

Additionally, In September 2023, Penlon announced the immediate availability of the New Diamond Video Laryngoscope range. The portable Diamond Video Laryngoscope provides a high-definition image from a camera on the distal end of the blade, giving an increased field of view compared with direct laryngoscopy. By incorporating a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen in the Diamond Video Laryngoscope, clinicians will be able to visualize a clear and detailed view of the patient’s larynx, with anti-fogging as standard. The compact, ergonomic handle has a high-capacity rechargeable battery providing up to 4 hours of use from a full charge. The Diamond Video Laryngoscope is available with single-use Macintosh-style blades suitable for use with pediatric and adult patients, a special blade for difficult intubations is also available.

The continued technological advancements in the market are poised to bolster the global ENT scopes market growth during the forecast period as they facilitate healthcare professionals to examine with more precision and effectiveness.
