The global duodenoscope market size accounted for USD 107.77 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach around USD 239.12 billion by 2034, poised to grow at a CAGR of 8.30% from 2024 to 2034.
Duodenoscopes are flexible, hollow, lighted tubes that help doctors to view the top of a patient’s duodenum or intestine. Doctors use duodenoscopes for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. This device supports doctors in diagnosing and treating severe life-threatening diseases like cancer and gallstones in the bile ducts and pancreas. As per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Americans undergo over 500,000 ERCP procedures every year using duodenoscopes.
Duodenoscopes are helpful in diagnosing infection, tumors, trauma, and cancer of the bile ducts. This device is also useful in the treatment of Chronic pancreatitis, Acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), Pancreatic pseudocysts (fluid-filled sac in the abdomen), and cancers of the pancreas.
Duodenoscope is a more complex instrument when compared with other endoscopes. Cleaning and disinfecting a duodenoscope is a bit tough. The duodenoscopes market is expanding considerably owing to the rising prevalence of numerous gastrointestinal conditions such as bile duct and pancreatic cancer tumors. Additionally, growing research and development (R&D), technological advancements to recognize the risk factors related to the transmission of infectious agents, and increasing awareness is driving the duodenoscope market growth during the review period.
Our duodenoscope report aims to give an overview of the market with exhaustive market segmentation by product type, application, and end-user. The duodenoscope market is estimated to experience remarkable growth during the study period. This report provides crucial data & statistics relevant to the market considering the leading players, market trends, and key opportunities.

Increasing incidences of chronic diseases
The rising prevalence of pancreatic cancer, bile duct cancer, stomach cancer, and gastrointestinal disorders are expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Duodenoscopes are used to detect the risk factors and causes of the disease. Moreover, rising technological advancements to make duodenoscope more efficient for medical practices and the rising research and development activities boost the market growth.
Regulatory challenges
Stringent regulations for manufacturing duodenoscopes hinder the market. Manufacturers must follow regulatory standards to ensure the product is safe for use. Furthermore, lengthy product approval process and the availability of cost-effective alternatives can hamper the market.
Rising acceptance of ERCP procedure
The rising need for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure propels the market. ERCP procedure is widely used to diagnose and treat gallstones, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic duct injuries. The increasing prevalence of GI disorders and the growing demand for flexible video duodenoscopes propel the market growth during the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact:
The pandemic of COVID-19 has impacted the duodenoscope market considerably. The adverse impact was majorly because of the reduction in endoscopy procedures during the initial stages of the pandemic. Since transport was largely affected in many parts of the world, the export of various essential components needed for the duodenoscope was severely impacted. Thus, the supply side of the duodenoscope market was hampered considerably owing to numerous limitations.
Among the endoscopy procedures, duodenoscopes involved a high risk of nosocomial infections. While single-use duodenoscopes had a certain utility for COVID-19-positive patients, there were availability and cost-related constraints across many countries of the world. During the COVID-19 pandemic period, ERCPs volumes reduced notably by 57% as compared to the pre-pandemic period. Such a decrease in the ERCPs volumes had a remarkable impact on the growth of the duodenoscope market.
Based on product type, the global duodenoscope market is bifurcated into Flexible Video Dueodenoscopes and Flexible Non-Video Dueodenoscopes. The Flexible Video Dueodenoscopes segment is expected to hold a significant market share during the forecast period.
Earlier used duodenoscopes included flexible non-video (fibre) duodenoscopes. During the initial stage, fiber duodenoscopes were used the most. But now, the use of non-video duodenoscopes is declining and they can even become obsolete very soon.
Flexible video duodenoscopes include a flexible insertion tube that features video recording functionality. This flexible insertion tube uses a charge-coupled device for displaying magnified images on the video screen. Now, the flexible video duodenoscope segment is dominating with a higher market share. Olympus Corporation is one of the leading players in the duodenoscopes market followed by Fujifilm Holding, Karl Storz, and Pentax.
The global duodenoscope market is segmented into diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis segment had the highest revenue share in 2023. The diagnosis segment is expected to dominate the market during the study period.
A duodenoscope is useful for diagnosis as well as treatment of numerous conditions of the biliary tree and pancreas, including stones, ductal obstructions, and malignancy.
A diagnostic duodenoscope (JF-140R, Olympus) with a working channel of 3.2 mm and an outer diameter of 11 mm can be used for children aged 1–3 years. A therapeutic duodenoscope having a 4.2 mm working channel can be used for ERCP among elder children.
The hospital segment dominated the market in 2023. The growth of the segment is attributed to the rising usage of duodenoscopes to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a life-saving procedure used to detect and treat conditions in the bile ducts and pancreas. Moreover, the easy availability of advanced diagnostic solutions in hospitals contributed to the segmental growth.
In 2023, North America region held the largest revenue share in the duodenoscope market. North America is the most developed continent owing to the presence of nations with favorable healthcare policies, high spending capacity, and early adoption of the latest medical technologies. In the United States, the per-procedure cost of a disposable duodenoscope varies from $797 to $1,547. This cost is for centers that perform at the 75th percentile of ERCP procedure volume.
In 2023, health research expenditures in the private sector in Canada reached about $1,354.56 million. This was a significant rise from the amount of $1,276.01 million spent during 2021. A remarkable rise in health expenditure enhances the scope for new duodenoscope in the North American region.
In the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, pancreatic cancer is considered to be one of the most aggressive types of cancer. In India, pancreatic cancer is the 11th most prevalent kind of cancer. In 2019, the count of pancreatic cancer cases in China was around 114,964, and the incidence was found to be 5.78/100,000. Owing to such a count of pancreatic cancer cases, the need for duodenoscopes is anticipated to rise drastically in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region in the coming years.
Various Gulf countries such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have well-developed infrastructure required for duodenoscopes. The duodenoscope market in the Middle East region is anticipated to grow promisingly during the study period.
Due to low literacy, civil war, and uncertainty in some African countries, the adoption of duodenoscopes in the African region is expected to take place at a comparatively slow rate. The awareness about the benefits of duodenoscope is increasing in the Latin America region. The duodenoscope market in the Latin America region is expected to grow gradually.
