Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Endoscopes (Radial Endoscopes and Linear Endoscopes), Ultrasound Probes, Ultrasonic Processors, Imaging Systems, Needles, and Accessories) By Application (Oncology Pancreatic Conditions, and Others), By End User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Others) and Regional Forecast 2019-2032

The global endoscopic ultrasound market size stood at USD 830.6 Million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 2,023.6 Million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period (2018-2032). North America dominated the global market with a share of 35.75% in 2018.

Endoscopic ultrasound, also known as echo-endoscopy or endoscopic ultrasound, is a type of minimally invasive equipment used for the assessment of digestive and lung diseases. A specialized endoscope is used to produce detailed images of the walls and lining of the digestive tract and nearby organs using sound waves of high frequency. EUS can be used for both diagnostics and therapeutics.

The applications of endoscopic ultrasound equipment are increasing gradually.  It is extensively employed in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and stomach cancer. The rising prevalence of gastric cancer is accelerating the demand for echo-endoscopy equipment. Furthermore, technological advancements and strategic distribution agreement between key market players are anticipated to increase the global EUS market in the forecast years.

MARKET DRIVERS

“Growing Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Diseases to Fuel Demand for Endoscopic Ultrasound Products”

The rising prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases worldwide is one of the primary reasons for the growth of the market. Gastrointestinal cancers are the leading cause of death in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death globally. According to the American Cancer Society, about 27,510 cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2019. Thus, there is a huge unmet need for early diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases which is expected to propel the demand for such endoscopic ultrasound products during the forecast period.

Furthermore, rising geriatric population and a significant increase in endoscopic services and ultrasound endoscopic surgeries are anticipated to increase the endoscopic ultrasound market size during the forecast period.

“New Product Launches to Drive the Adoption of EUS”

The endoscopic ultrasound industry is witnessing the launch of technologically advanced products that are able to improve the clinical outcomes. Advancement in technologies such as EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration has now become one of the crucial and minimally invasive tools offering higher accuracy and early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. This has contributed to the significant endoscopic ultrasound market growth

In March 2019, ESAOTE launched MyLab X8 with a cutting edge technology providing versatile and high-performance ultrasound platforms to support hospitals and clinics for quality patient care is anticipated to accelerate the EUS market.
