3. Boston Scientific Corporation (US), Olympus Corporation (Japan) and KARL STORZ (Germany) are Leading Players in the Bronchoscopy Market

The global bronchoscopy market is projected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2027 from USD 2.5 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecasted period (2022 to 2027). Bronchoscopy is an endoscopic technique used to visualize and examine the inside of the trachea, bronchi (air passages that lead to the lungs), and lungs. A bronchoscope is a thin, tube-like instrument with a light and a lens for viewing. Market growth is largely driven by the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, the growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, growing hospital investments in bronchoscopy facilities, and technological advancements in bronchoscopes. On the other hand, the dearth of trained physicians and pulmonologists is a major challenge to the growth of this market.

The bronchoscopy equipment market is highly competitive in nature, with only a few players dominating the overall market. The major players operating in this market are Olympus Corporation (Japan), KARL STORZ (Germany), Ambu A/S (Denmark), Boston Scientific Corporation (US), Ethicon (US), FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (Japan), Medtronic (Ireland), HOYA Corporation (Japan), Richard Wolf GmbH (Germany), Cook Medical (US), Broncus Medical Inc. (China), CONMED (US), Roper Technologies (US), Teleflex Incorporated (US), Laborie Medical Technologies Corp. (Canada), EFER Endoscopy (France), EMOS Technology GmbH (Germany), VBM Medizintechnik GmbH (Germany), Hunan Vathin Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. (China), and Machida Endoscope Co., Ltd. (China).
