Additionally, growing incidence of COVID-19 is expected to have positive impact on bronchoscopy market with its potential application in offering respiratory support to the patients and to reduce risk of mortality. The WHO has also given guidelines for proper and safe use of bronchoscopy during COVID-19. Such initiatives will impel the market share over the forecast timeframe.
 

The COVID-19 outbreak has positively impacted on market in 2020. The upsurge in product demand is due to the substantial patient base suffering from acute respiratory syndrome. Bronchoscopy in severely ill COVID-19 patients requires the management of complications, as well as the collection of samples for microbiological cultures and the assistance of artificial airway management. Thus, the rapidly growing COVID-19 cases globally have positively influenced the demand for bronchoscopy.
 

The bronchoscopy is most common interventional pulmonology technique performed with the bronchoscope. Bronchoscopy can be carried out using either reusable or single-use bronchoscopes. Single-use bronchoscopes can identify problems like tumours, COPD, lung cancer, pneumonia, airway stenosis, bronchitis, and other lung infections. Bronchoscopes, whether single-use or reusable, are used for endoscopic examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the airways and tracheobronchial tree.
 

Growing preference for minimally invasive procedures will boost the market demand

Bronchoscopy market growth is further driven by the increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures, especially, in developed countries. Several benefits associated with minimally invasive procedures, including rapid recovery, reduced surgical complications, effective management of post-surgical pain, and shorter stay in hospitals, are the factors accelerating the demand for minimally invasive procedures in the coming years, positively impacting the industry landscape.
 

Growing awareness regarding minimally invasive bronchoscopy procedures have significantly impacted the market statistics. Additionally, increasing geriatric population across the globe has resulted in growing prevalence of respiratory diseases including asthma. All these factors will positively impact the bronchoscopy demand over the forecast timeframe.
 

Growing adoption of flexible bronchoscopy will bolster the bronchoscopy business growth

Bronchoscopy market based on product type is classified into rigid bronchoscopes, flexible bronchoscopes, and others. Flexible bronchoscopes segment accounted for more than USD 1.3 billion in 2021. Flexible bronchoscopes are tubes that are longer and thinner than traditional bronchoscopes, allowing them to see the bottom part of the bronchus. According to the National Centre of Biotechnological Information, flexible bronchoscopes are considerably easier to move around inside the bronchus and hence provide a clear image.
 

Moreover, these can be used in conjunction with other procedures including laser treatment and endobronchial ultrasonography. Additionally, several advantages associated with flexible bronchoscopy including fast recovery time after flexible bronchoscopy as compared to rigid bronchoscopy and cost-effectiveness will further augment the overall market size.
 

Growing risk of cross contamination during procedures will accelerate the market forecast

Bronchoscopy market based on product usage is classified into single use/ disposable and reusable. Single use/ disposable segment held significant market share and is estimated to witness 8.6% CAGR during the forecast period. Increasing complication related to cross infections among patients by virulent or resistant germs will positively impact the segment growth. Furthermore, significant advantages associated with use of single use or disposable bronchoscopes including ease of compliance with cleaning and disinfection regulations during non-working hours, minimising costs associated to trauma repairs during use or reusing of the equipment. Thus, aforementioned factors are expected to foster the segmental demand.
 

Growing prevalence of asthma among adults will accelerate the bronchoscopy industry landscape 

Bronchoscopy market based on age group is classified into adult and paediatric. Adult segment dominated the market and is estimated to witness 7.9% CAGR during the forecast period. In adults the bronchoscopy is most often used to take sample of suspicious lesions as well as for culturing specific area in the lung. Flexible bronchoscopy is majorly used to treat non-resolving lung abscess, atelectasis, pneumonia, and other diseases in adults. Additionally, increasing prevalence of asthma and other respiratory diseases in adults coupled with availability of different size of bronchoscopes will contribute to the segment expansion.

North America bronchoscopy market captured nearly 32.8% business share in 2021 and is poised to grow enormously over analysis timeframe. The substantial growth is primarily attributable to the high prevalence rate of COPD and lung cancer in the region. For instance, as per the American Lung Association, about 16.4 million people were reported with one of the COPD in 2018. Furthermore, smoking, high tobacco consumption, and environmental changes are further contributing to the rising incidence of respiratory diseases.
 

Additionally, according to the data published by World Health Organization, in 2020 approximately 227,875 new cases of lung cancer were recorded in U.S. Therefore, increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases along with high disposable income in the region will augment the North America bronchoscopy industry growth in the forthcoming period.
