Industry Valuation and Growth Rate Projection

The endoscopic and ambulatory surgical center market, being a part of healthcare services, offers minimally invasive diagnoses and surgeries, most of which are performed in patient-friendly environments. This market is on the rise, predominantly due to healthcare systems coming up with an immense emphasis on efficient, cost-effective, and patient-centered care. An ASC is an ambulatory center where medical procedures are carried out, including treatments required for day surgery, with minimally invasive procedures that pose high standards in care and low risk of infection, hence a fast recovery time, giving a whole new dimension to convenience. Unless in more complex settings, endoscopic procedures are slowly becoming an indispensable part of the ambulatory surgical procedures for diagnosis and intervention.

Therefore, the constant technological advancement in endoscopy from HD imaging to greater robotic assistance is positively correlated with higher accuracy and better outcomes of endoscopic procedures. The market, in turn, is fueled by the burgeoning incidence rates of chronic conditions, an aging population, and the burgeoning trend toward outpatient surgeries. All said, the number of ASCs is increasing rapidly, encouraged by changes in healthcare policies and reimbursement programs, along with the overall development of healthcare infrastructure in emerging nations.
