Colposcopy Market

The global colposcopy market size was valued at 210.45 million in 2020 and is projected to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing prevalence of cervical cancer and increase in demand for early diagnostic techniques.

The key function of colposcopy is to prevent cervical cancer by early detection of precancerous tissues. Factors such as changing lifestyle, smoking, physical inactivity, changes in reproductive patterns, such as late first childbirth and fewer childbirths, and excess body weight are some common reasons responsible for various types of cancer.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), the global mortality rate from cervical cancer is extremely high, as about 90% of related deaths are occurred basically in low and middle-income countries. Early diagnostics and screening programs help to detect the disease and is widely considered among health-conscious population globally. Growth in geriatric population leads to an increased number of cervical cancer cases across the globe. Growing awareness among women regarding gynecological diseases, which leads to increase in expenditure on personal health care and regular checkups.

Key market players are focusing on introduction of advanced technologies by integration of various digital platforms with colposcopy equipment. Rise in the development of image quality equipped with advanced technology has resulted in offering accurate diagnosis in the early phase. Governments in developing countries such as India and China are focusing on providing cost-effective medical imaging solutions by adoption of various imaging technologies that includes telemedicine. In 2017, Duke University researchers have introduced a ‘Pocket colposcope’ that eliminates the requirement of speculum and enable self-screening. This colposcope enables images on a laptop or a smart phone and makes cervical cancer screening more accessible to women living in low resource areas, this in turn increases the demand for colposcopes.
