The global endoscope washer disinfectors market is anticipated to reach USD 722.4 million by 2030 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing significant growth due to the rising prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, respiratory ailments, and urological disorders, which necessitating the use of endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment. As the number of such procedures increases, the demand for efficient cleaning and disinfection systems has soared.
Additionally, the growing elderly population, who are more susceptible to chronic diseases requiring endoscopic interventions, further propels market growth. For instance, according to International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, Inc. (IFFGD), about 20% to 40% of all visits to gastroenterologists are related to IBS symptoms. In addition, according to American College of Gastroenterology, in the U.S., it is estimated that 10-15% of adults experience IBS symptoms, while only 5-7% have received a formal diagnosis of the condition.
The aging population is a key factor contributing to the expansion of the endoscope washer disinfector market. According to the United Nations in January 2023, the global population of individuals aged 65 years and above is expected to increase from 761 million in 2021 to nearly 1.6 billion by 2050. Furthermore, as the elderly population grows, so does the incidence of chronic diseases, further boosting market demand.
The rise in Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs) has led to a growing need for effective infection control measures, including the proper cleaning and disinfection of endoscopes. Endoscope washer disinfectors play a crucial role in preventing the spread of infections, driving demand for these devices. Thus, rising HAIs is further expected to boost market growth. Further, the development of advanced endoscope washer disinfectors with improved cleaning and disinfection capabilities has increased their adoption in healthcare facilities. These devices offer features such as automated cleaning and disinfection cycles, improved water quality monitoring, and advanced detergent management.
