世界のヒステロスコープ市場は、2024年に2億6,040万米ドルに達し、2033年には4億2,400万米ドルに達すると予測され、予測期間2025年~2033年にはCAGR 5.6%で成長すると予測されています。
子宮鏡は、子宮(子宮)内部の視覚的検査に使用される医療器具です。特に婦人科処置用に設計された内視鏡の一種です。子宮頸管(子宮の下部)から子宮内に挿入できる細い管状の構造からなります。この装置には通常、光源とカメラが装備されており、医師はモニターで子宮内膜をリアルタイムで観察することができます。子宮鏡検査は通常、外来または病院で、手技の複雑さに応じて局所麻酔または全身麻酔下で行われます。子宮鏡は子宮頸管から子宮内に挿入され、炭酸ガスまたは生理食塩水を使用して子宮を拡張し、視認性を向上させることもあります。
子宮鏡市場は、婦人科疾患の有病率の増加や低侵襲処置のヒステロスコープの進歩の高まりなどの要因によって、大きな成長を遂げています。例えば、2024年5月、女性の健康医療機器の主要リーダーであるMeditrina社は、Gen 2バイポーラRF子宮鏡システムのFDA 510(k)認可を発表しました。この新システムはバイポーラ高周波技術を特徴とし、Aveta Gloと呼ばれる新しいバイポーラRF装置で、低侵襲の婦人科処置における重要な進歩を表しています。
促進要因と抑制要因
婦人科疾患の有病率の上昇
婦人科疾患の有病率の上昇は、ヒステロスコープ市場の成長を大きく後押ししており、予測期間中も市場を牽引するとみられます。子宮筋腫、子宮内膜ポリープ、異常子宮出血は、しばしば子宮鏡による評価や治療が必要となる一般的な婦人科疾患です。これらの疾患の世界の発生率は、年齢、ライフスタイルの変化、意識の高まりなどの要因によって上昇しています。
例えば、米国国立衛生研究所(NIH)によると、子宮平滑筋腫は女性における最も一般的な疾患の一つであるが、まだ研究が不十分です。一般に子宮筋腫として知られるこれらの腫瘍は、主に生殖期の女性に発症し、生涯のうちに白人女性の最大70%、アフリカ系女性の80%以上で診断されます。さらに、DynaMedによれば、子宮内膜ポリープは子宮出血異常のある閉経後患者の21%~28%、子宮出血異常のある閉経前患者の10%~40%で報告されています。
子宮内膜がん(子宮内膜のがん)は、特に閉経後の女性に多く見られるようになってきています。例えば、世界がん研究基金によると、2022年の子宮内膜がんの新規症例数は420,368例で、そのうち中国は77,722例、米国は66,055例、ロシアは29,852例、日本は18,338例、インドは17,240例です。子宮鏡検査は子宮内膜がんを発見するための重要な診断ツールであり、子宮内膜の生検や異常増殖の評価に使用することが不可欠であるため、高度な子宮鏡システムの需要が高まっています。
合併症のリスク
子宮鏡処置に伴う合併症のリスクは、子宮鏡市場の成長を妨げる重要な要因です。子宮鏡検査は一般に低侵襲で安全であると考えられているが、それでもなお、患者とヘルスケア提供者の双方がその処置を選ぶことを躊躇させるようなある種のリスクを伴う。
子宮鏡検査の最も深刻なリスクの一つは子宮穿孔で、子宮鏡が子宮壁に穴を開ける。まれではあるが、これは出血、感染、近傍臓器の損傷につながる可能性があり、早急な介入が必要となります。例えば、国立衛生研究所が発表した研究によると、子宮穿孔は子宮鏡手術の最も一般的な合併症の一つで、その発生率は0.8~1.5%です。子宮穿孔は、子宮頸管拡張中や子宮鏡挿入中に起こる可能性があります。このような合併症の恐怖は、患者が子宮鏡検査を選択する意欲を失わせ、特に経験の少ない医師がいる環境では、その導入が制限されることになります。
もう一つの重大な懸念は、処置中の感染の可能性であり、特に子宮内に異物が挿入された場合です。感染は骨盤内炎症性疾患(PID)や子宮内膜炎のような合併症を引き起こす可能性があり、抗生物質による治療が必要となります。感染のリスクは低いとはいえ、再入院や追加治療、回復期間の長期化につながる可能性があり、患者の満足度や手術全体の魅力に影響します。
過度の出血は、子宮鏡下手術、特に子宮筋腫核出術やポリープ切除術の際に起こりうるもう一つの合併症です。出血は多くの場合、電気手術器具の使用によりコントロールされるが、場合によってはさらなる外科的介入の必要性につながることもあります。
The global hysteroscopes market reached US$ 260.4 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 424.00 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2025-2033.
A hysteroscope is a medical instrument used for visual examination of the interior of the uterus (womb). It is a type of endoscope specifically designed for gynecological procedures. The device consists of a thin, tubular structure that can be inserted through the cervix (the lower part of the uterus) into the uterus. It is typically equipped with a light source and a camera, allowing the physician to view the uterine lining on a monitor in real time. Hysteroscopy is typically performed in an outpatient or hospital setting under local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The hysteroscope is inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and carbon dioxide or saline solution may be used to expand the uterus to improve visibility.
The hysteroscope market is experiencing significant growth, driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of gynecological disorders and rising advancements in hysteroscopes for minimally invasive procedures. For instance, in May 2024, Meditrina, a key leader in women's health medical devices, announced the FDA 510(k) clearance of its Gen 2 bipolar RF hysteroscopy system. This new system features bipolar radiofrequency technology, and a new bipolar RF device called the Aveta Glo, representing a significant advancement in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures.
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Rising prevalence of gynecology disorders
The rising prevalence of gynecology disorders is significantly driving the growth of the hysteroscopes market and is expected to drive the market over the forecast period. Uterine fibroids, endometrial polyps and abnormal uterine bleeding are common gynecological conditions that often necessitate hysteroscopic evaluation and treatment. The global incidence of these conditions is rising due to factors such as age, lifestyle changes, and increased awareness.
For instance, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH), Uterine leiomyomas are one of the most common and yet understudied diseases in women. These tumors, commonly known as fibroids, affect women mainly during their reproductive years and are diagnosed in up to 70% of white women and more than 80% of women of African ancestry during their lifetime. Additionally, according to DynaMed, endometrial polyps are reported in 21%-28% of postmenopausal patients with abnormal uterine bleeding and in 10%-40 % of premenopausal patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.
Endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining) is becoming more common, especially in postmenopausal women. For instance, according to the World Cancer Research Fund, there were 420,368 new cases of endometrial cancer in 2022, including China with 77,722, the United States with 66,055, Russia with 29,852, Japan with 18,338 and India with 17,240. Hysteroscopy is a key diagnostic tool for detecting endometrial cancer, and its use in biopsies and assessments of the uterine lining for abnormal growths is essential, increasing the demand for advanced hysteroscopic systems.
Risk of complications
The risk of complications associated with hysteroscopic procedures is a significant factor hampering the growth of the hysteroscope market. While hysteroscopy is generally considered minimally invasive and safe, it still carries certain risks that can deter both patients and healthcare providers from opting for the procedure.
One of the most serious risks of hysteroscopy is uterine perforation, where the hysteroscope punctures the wall of the uterus. Although rare, this can lead to bleeding, infection, or injury to nearby organs, requiring immediate intervention. For instance, according to a study published by the National Institute of Health, uterine perforation is one of the most common complications of operative hysteroscopy with an incidence of 0.8-1.5%. Uterine perforation can happen during cervical dilation or during insertion of the hysteroscope. The fear of such complications can discourage patients from choosing hysteroscopy, limiting its adoption, especially in settings with less experienced practitioners.
Another significant concern is the potential for infection during the procedure, especially when foreign instruments are introduced into the uterus. Infections can lead to complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or endometritis, requiring antibiotic treatment. Though the risk of infection is low, it can still lead to hospital readmissions, additional treatments, and longer recovery times, which impacts patient satisfaction and the overall appeal of the procedure.
Excessive bleeding is another complication that can arise during hysteroscopic procedures, particularly in operative hysteroscopy (e.g., myomectomy or polypectomy). While bleeding is often controlled with the use of electrosurgical instruments, in some cases, it can lead to a need for further surgical intervention.
