Global gastroenterology market growth is driven by rising demand for minimally invasive procedures. Technological advancements in endoscopy such as high-definition imaging, narrow band imaging, capsule endoscopy, and others boosts the preference for endoscopy among patients and healthcare providers alike. Furthermore, increasing cases of gastrointestinal diseases due to change in lifestyle and eating habits has increased the need for early diagnosis and treatment. Other factors influencing the market growth include increasing healthcare expenditures in emerging economies and rising number of gastrointestinal disorder patients. Growing geriatric population also boosts demand. However, stringent regulatory approvals and high costs of gastrointestinal devices can hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing incidences of digestive disorders

Global gastroenterology market growth is driven by rising incidences of various digestive disorders across both developed and developing regions of the world. Digestive disorders and conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and liver diseases have become highly prevalent globally, thus, affecting people of all age groups. According to various medical studies and reports, over 25% of adults globally experience symptoms of common digestive issues like acid reflux, bloating or discomfort at least once a month.

High consumption of junk food rich in fats and oils, increasing stress levels, unhealthy lifestyles, pollution, and consumption of alcohol and tobacco has significantly contributed to rising cases of indigestion, acidity, ulcers and other stomach issues. Moreover, genetic predisposition and changing dietary habits has led to increase in incidences of IBD conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease especially in developed nations of North America, Western Europe and other developed Asian economies. Due to changing consumer food choices, urbanization and adoption of western lifestyles, there has been rising incidence of digestive disorders in emerging markets. The high prevalence of these conditions boosts need for diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders globally, thus, boosting demand for drugs, devices, diagnostic equipment and endoscopy procedures. For Instance, according to a study by Paulo Gustavo Kotze et al., published in the Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology journal in July 2020, the incidence and prevalence of ulcerative colitis (UC) in Latin America ranged from 0.04 to 8.00 per 100,000 and 0.23 to 76.1 per 100,000, respectively. This research, along with other studies, suggests that both the prevalence and incidence of ulcerative colitis are on the rise, fueling increased demand in the market
