According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Medical Soft Tube Endoscope market size was valued at US$ 5083 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 9189 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 9.1% during review period.
Medical flexible endoscopes are flexible, controllable optical tubular medical devices that can enter the human body through natural channels or minimally invasive incisions for observation, diagnosis, and even assisting surgery. They are important diagnostic and therapeutic tools in minimally invasive treatment systems. In 2025, global sales of reusable and disposable flexible endoscopes were estimated at approximately 380,000 units, with an average unit price of approximately US$13,000 and a capacity utilization rate of approximately 78%. Typical upstream and downstream companies include manufacturers of high-precision optical and fiber optic components, suppliers of high-end CMOS image sensors, and medical device system integrators. The gross profit margin for these products is typically around 45%. The product cost structure mainly includes: 30% for optical lenses and fiber optic transmission components; 20% for licensing and integration of image sensing and signal processing chips; 25% for the manufacture of flexible tubes and control structures; and 25% for software algorithms and user interface systems. R&D costs account for 10%, and quality verification and clinical fit testing costs account for 15%. On the demand side, downstream demand covers applications in multiple fields, including gastrointestinal examination and treatment, bronchoscopy, urological endoscopy, otolaryngology, and arthroscopy. Downstream customers include hospitals, departments, specialized endoscopy centers, chain medical institutions, health checkup centers, and regional medical groups. In terms of business opportunities, policy drivers include increased investment in healthcare by various countries, prioritizing the promotion of minimally invasive surgery, and policies to enhance primary healthcare capacity to increase the adoption rate of flexible endoscopes. Technological innovation is reflected in advancements such as higher resolution, smaller diameter, smarter image analysis, and disposable designs, all of which help reduce the risk of cross-infection. Changing consumer demands are reflected in the growing need from patients and physicians for higher diagnostic and treatment efficiency, less pain, and greater safety. These factors collectively drive long-term market growth and product iteration.
The medical flexible endoscope market is rapidly evolving towards minimally invasive, high-definition, intelligent, and safer technologies. Demand is driven by a combination of factors: the increasing frequency of gastrointestinal and respiratory screenings due to an aging population; the rising proportion of day surgery and outpatient services; and hospitals' focus on efficiency and turnover rates in refined operations. Simultaneously, increased infection control requirements and sensitivity to hospital-acquired infections are leading to a continued rise in acceptance of disposable or traceable consumable solutions. On the supply side, competition is shifting from simple imaging metrics to the overall system experience and end-to-end service capabilities, including smaller outer diameters and greater flexibility, more stable images and low-latency transmission, algorithm-assisted lesion detection, maintenance systems, and leasing or pay-per-use business models. Future growth is expected to primarily come from penetration into primary hospitals, expansion of specialized centers, and product replacement driven by new technologies. However, the industry also faces pressures such as centralized procurement and cost control, increased regulatory compliance and clinical evidence thresholds, and supply fluctuations in core optical and sensor components. Companies capable of achieving a closed-loop capability in cost control, reliability, digital platforms, and channel services will be more likely to gain sustained market share.
