Overview

Endoscopy & GI Devices covers flexible endoscopic systems, accessories, and interventional devices used in gastrointestinal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures across hospital and ASC settings. The flexible-endoscope market is dominated by Olympus, with Boston Scientific and others strong in interventional GI devices and single-use endoscopes.

Demand is driven by GI procedure volumes (colonoscopy, endoscopy) and an aging population, and the shift toward single-use endoscopes — spurred by infection-control concerns — is reshaping the category. It combines capital systems with recurring accessories and disposables.
