The reusable segment is anticipated to grow with a high CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising need for sustainable resources, and user-friendly diagnostic systems. Additionally, rising patient awareness levels for gynecological cancers in developed countries are factors expected to result in the dominance of the segment during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2023, Feminora launched an innovative vaginal speculum OneSpec, which is reusable, with a 360-degree view feature integrated with it. Thus, amongst usability, reusables are expected to witness a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
“Amongst regions, North America held a significant share of the market in 2022”
For a better understanding of the market adoption of a vaginal speculum, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World.
