Endoscopy Infection Control Market size was valued at USD 895.9 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 16.6% from 2023-2029. Infections caused by endoscopy might be either endogenous or external. Pathogens spread through a breach produced during endoscopic surgery, resulting in endogenous infections. Exogenous infections are transmitted from patient to patient by contaminated equipment or endoscopic staff. Based on the type of the global endoscopy infection control market is segmented into Enzymatic Detergents, Bite Blocks, Transport Pads, Endoscopic Procedure Kits, Endoscopic Gowns, Valves, and Valve Kits, Indicator Solutions, Others. The Endoscopy Gowns segment is dominating the market. In healthcare settings, gowns are very important in personal protection equipment when the wearer comes into touch with potentially infectious liquid or solid material, they are utilized to protect the wearer against infection or disease. They may also be used to keep the gown wearer from spreading pathogens that might damage susceptible patients, such as those with compromised immune systems. Gowns are one component of a larger infection-prevention approach resulting in the growth of the market.

Moreover, the government is also supporting the global endoscopy infection control market. For instance, in May 2015, the FDA recommended that by 2018, flexible scopes be defined as critical devices, which would require mandated sterilization. Such initiatives are expected to increase the demand for endoscope infection control products in the coming years. An increase in the prevalence of cancer & obesity and the introduction of endoscopic bariatric surgeries-owing to the growing trend of preventive healthcare, a rise in awareness about early-stage disease diagnosis among the population for gastrointestinal disorders and gastric cancers are key factors contributing to the growth of this market.
