Growth Drivers:

Cancer is a major global public health problem and the leading cause of death in North America. Increasing gastrointestinal disorders and cancer cases in North America also accelerate the adoption of endoscopes and market growth. According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US. The risk of developing this disease during the course of life is 4.3% in men and 4.0% in women. The American Cancer Society anticipated deaths of nearly 52,580 people in 2022 due to colorectal cancer in the US.

According to Globocan 2020, the incidence of stomach cancer in Canada was 3,505 in 2020, which is expected to reach 5,230 by 2040. According to Statistics Canada, lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of death in Canada than colorectal, pancreatic, and breast cancers combined. In 2021 alone, ~21,000 Canadians died of lung cancer. The high mortality rate from lung cancer reflects its low survival rate.

Lung cancer incidence and mortality rates dramatically increase with age. Incidence rates peak among Canadians aged 75–84 years (396 per 100,000 people), while mortality rates are largely observed among Canadians aged 85 years and older (366 per 100,000 people). Overall, the lung cancer incidence rate is 1/10 higher among men than women, and the mortality rate is almost 1/3 higher among men than women. However, for Canadians younger than 55, rates are higher among women than men.

Western countries, such as the US and Canada, report a high GI incidence rate due to increasing obesity in the adult population and less consumption of dietary fiber. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, December 2022, ~37.2 million cases of digestive system diseases are recorded in physician offices in the US.

IBD is a term for two conditions—ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Moreover, in the last few years, cases of IBD have increased worldwide due to a sedentary lifestyle; changing dietary habits; stress; and poor nutritional choices, including a high intake of ultra-processed foods and trans-fats. As per the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, around 70,000 new cases of IBD are diagnosed every year in the US. Further, chronic inflammation and reduced immunosurveillance caused due to IBD may contribute to the development of gastric cancer.

This rising burden of cancer in Canada indicates the high requirement for endoscopic devices, thereby driving the market.
