According to National Home Infusion Association (NHIA), nearly 92 percent of elderly people suffer from at least one chronic disease while 77 percent suffer from 2 or more chronic diseases thereby accelerating endoscopy business growth. Rising incidences of gastrointestinal diseases such as constipation among geriatric and pediatric population will stimulate industry growth. Development of innovative endoscopy devices have resulted positively in adoption rate of these devices.

Also, growing rates of surgical procedures that require endoscopies to aid diagnostic decisions will have positive impact on industry growth. Germany endoscopy market was valued over USD 1.7 billion in 2017 due to continuous integration of advanced technology in the endoscopy devices and high technological adoption. Increasing cases of cancers such as colon, ovaries and kidney will further boost endoscopy market growth in Germany.
