Bronchoscopes are used in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including the detection of lung tumours, lung infections and airway blockages. Certain respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, sarcoidosis and tracheoesophageal fistula are also detected with the help of bronchoscopes, while therapeutic bronchoscopies include the management of benign airway stenosis, laser bronchoscopy, cryotherapy, endobronchial brachytherapy and photodynamic therapy. With these wide-ranging indications, the bronchoscopes market is set to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%, resulting in a global market value exceeding $830m by 2030, according to GlobalData.
