Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/20/2012 -- Global Endoscopy Market By Product, Application & Technology (2011 - 2016) (Rigid/Flexible Endoscopes, Visualization Systems, Fluid Management Systems, Endoscopic Ultrasounds, Accessories, Gastrointestinal Laparoscopy, Arthroscopy, Narrow Band Imaging, Capsule Endoscopy, Robotic Endoscopes and Others) Competitive Landscape, Value-Volume Analysis and Global Trends

Endoscopy devices are one of the pivotal devices that provide clinical solutions to the demands of fast-paced world by allowing close examination of internal organs and body structures. Unlike other medical imaging devices like X-rays, a tube-like instrument called endoscope is inserted directly inside the organ which provides comprehensive details of the organs under study. Ageing population, increased awareness & acceptance of endoscopic techniques, increase in the no. of endoscopic procedures as well as advancements in endoscopic technologies are the major drivers for the market whereas dearth of trained surgeons, high cost of endoscopic equipments pose as a major deterrent for the growth of the market. The market is dominated by global players like Olympus, Karl Storz GmbH & Co., Pentax Medical Co., Richard Wolf GmbH, Smith & Nephew, Stryker Corporation, Johnson & Johnson- Ethicon Endo Surgery (EES) among others.
