Report Code : CVMI2603252601426 | Published Date : March 30, 2025
1 | Market Overview
The global chip on the tip endoscope market is experiencing significant growth, fueled by advancements in medical imaging technology and increasing demand for minimally invasive diagnostic procedures. Unlike traditional endoscopes with fiber optic systems, chip on the tip (COT) endoscopes feature digital imaging sensors at the distal tip, providing superior image resolution, better maneuverability, and real-time visualization.
The increasing rate of gastrointestinal, pulmonary, urological, and gynecological disorders, along with the growing use of outpatient and ambulatory procedures, is driving demand. The integration of AI-assisted image analysis and 3D visualization is further speeding up market growth.
