Medical Cameras Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

Medical Cameras Market was valued at US$ 2.5 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to reach US$ 4 billion by 2027 displaying an elevated CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period (2021-2027). A Medical camera allows surgeons and other medical practitioners to capture high-quality images during microscopy and other surgical procedures such as ophthalmology, endoscopy, arthroscopy, robotic surgery, among others. They help in the diagnosis and treatment of disease by revealing the actual condition of an internal organ.

The rising worldwide demand for medical cameras is because of the increasing technological advancements in surgical procedures and upsurge in MedTech venture capital investments. For instance, the medical technology venture capital investment all over the world was valued at US$ 5.7 billion in 2019 which rose to US$ 6.3 billion in 2020. In addition to this, the largest increase in the MedTech venture capital investment was seen during the years 2016 and 2017.

The growing prevalence of age-related diseases coupled with the rising geriatric population is another factor contributing to the growth of the global medical cameras market. For instance, according to the United Nations, In 2019, 13.2% of the worldwide population was aged 60 years or above. Further, it is anticipated that nearly 21.4% of the total worldwide population will be aged 60 years or over by 2050. Given these facts, there is an increase in the number of people who are not suitable for open surgeries. As a result, there is an increase in the adoption of minimally invasive surgical procedures augmenting the growth of the medical cameras market globally.

The increased demand for endoscopic procedures is due to the growing patient pools and mortality rates of gastrointestinal diseases all over the world. Furthermore, the increasing number of surgeries due to the growing prevalence of types of GI cancer has also propelled the worldwide demand for medical cameras procedures.
