Endoscope reprocessing is a critical element of infection prevention strategies, especially considering the expanding use of endoscopes in various surgical procedures. Reprocessing involves the cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization of endoscopes and their accessories. The effectiveness of a reusable high-level disinfectant or sterilant over a specific period is known as the reuse life.
The primary products in endoscope reprocessing include high-level disinfectants and test strips, detergents and wipes, automated endoscope reprocessors, endoscope drying, storage, and transport systems, endoscope tracking solutions, and other related items. Test strips are instrumental in measuring the concentration of chemicals or other aspects of a liquid used for the chemical disinfection of reusable medical and dental equipment in healthcare settings, contributing to patient protection against healthcare-associated infections. Test strips are categorized into flexible and rigid types. Endoscope reprocessing is employed by various end users, including hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers and clinics, and other healthcare facilities.

The endoscope reprocessing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.44 billion in 2023 to $2.72 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including stringent regulatory compliance, a rise in the utilization of endoscopy procedures, increased awareness of infection control measures, a heightened focus on patient safety concerns, and a growing aging population. These elements collectively contributed to the overall growth observed during that timeframe.
The endoscope reprocessing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.23 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the impact of global pandemics, a growing emphasis on environmental sustainability, the rising adoption of telemedicine and remote procedures, and a shift towards value-based healthcare. Noteworthy trends expected in this period encompass advancements in automation and robotics, the implementation of data-driven compliance measures, the adoption of single-use endoscopes, the development of modular endoscope designs, and innovations in infection control practices. These trends are poised to significantly impact and contribute to the projected growth and evolution of the endoscope reprocessing industry in the forecasted period.
The growth of the endoscope reprocessing market is expected to be propelled by the increasing incidence of cancer. Cancer, characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and spread, is a prevalent condition affecting millions of people globally. Endoscope reprocessing, involving cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization, plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures related to cancer. As the incidence of cancer rises, there is an elevated demand for endoscope reprocessing to ensure the effective decontamination of medical equipment. For instance, statistics from January 2021 by the American Cancer Society reported 1.8 million new cancer cases and 606,520 cancer-related deaths in the United States in 2020. The continuous growth in cancer cases is a significant factor driving the expansion of the endoscope reprocessing market.
The increasing prevalence of healthcare-associated infections is another factor contributing to the growth of the endoscope reprocessing market. Healthcare-associated infections, occurring during medical care and resulting from contaminated equipment or procedures, pose a serious threat to patient safety. Endoscope reprocessing is essential in preventing such infections by ensuring thorough cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes. With the global concern over healthcare-associated infections, rigorous testing and effective endoscope reprocessing procedures become critical. According to data from May 2022 by the World Health Organization, approximately 52.3% of patients in intensive care units and over 24% of patients with sepsis-related healthcare pass away each year. Additionally, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) reported in December 2022 that pneumonia claims the lives of over 700,000 children under the age of five annually. The rising awareness of healthcare-associated infections is fueling the demand for endoscope reprocessing solutions.
Technological advancements represent a key trend in the endoscope reprocessing market. Leading companies in the sector are actively developing innovative products to meet evolving customer demands. For instance, in September 2021, Steelco spa, a U.S.-based infection control solution provider, introduced the EW 1 S MAXI, an advanced automated endoscope reprocessor that sets new standards in the field. This product incorporates innovations designed in collaboration with decontamination experts, enhancing the safety, effectiveness, and usability of endoscope reprocessing procedures. Notably, the EW 1 S MAXI features a technologically advanced evolution that enables the automatic connection of Oral corticosteroids (OCS) to the chamber without operator intervention, minimizing errors and improving efficiency in the reprocessing process. This technological progress is a significant driver for the growth of the endoscope reprocessing market.
Major players in the endoscope reprocessing market are actively engaged in the development of disinfectors with advanced cleaning and disinfection capabilities, aiming to establish a competitive advantage in the market. These disinfectors play a critical role in ensuring the safe and effective reprocessing of endoscopes, thereby reducing the risk of infections through thorough sterilization. For example, in June 2023, Olympus Corporation, a Japan-based manufacturer of optics and reprography products, introduced a new endoscope washer disinfector known as the ETD (Endoscope Washer Disinfector). The ETD is available in two variants, ETD Basic and ETD Premium. This innovative product is specifically designed to meet the reprocessing requirements of busy endoscopy units, with the capability to simultaneously reprocess up to three endoscopes. The ETD endoscope washer disinfector plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness and reprocessing of endoscopes, contributing significantly to patient safety and the prevention of healthcare-associated infections.
In February 2021, Steris Corporation, a U.S.-based medical equipment company specializing in sterilization and surgical products, acquired Cantel Medical Corporation for an undisclosed amount. Through this strategic acquisition, STERIS plc aimed to enhance and broaden its product and service offerings, expand global reach, and strengthen its customer base. Cantel Medical Corporation, a U.S.-based producer and provider of infection prevention products and services to endoscopy, dental, dialysis, and life sciences customers, added valuable capabilities to STERIS plc's portfolio, reinforcing its position in the market.
