The global urology endoscopes market includes cystoscopes, resectoscopes, and ureteroscopes, which are used for diagnosing and treating disorders related to the urinary tract, kidney stones, ureter, bladder, and urothelial tumours.

"The technology, however, has limitations due to its unreliability in determining low-grade and high-grade cancer."

The report attributes the market growth to technological advancements in optical imaging and improvement in product performance, which enable urologists to diagnose and treat the main causes of the diseases.

White light cystoscopy, for example, is the standard optical mode used by urologists to diagnose bladder urothelium. The technology, however, has limitations due to its unreliability in determining low-grade and high-grade cancer.

Recent technological advancements have helped in addressing the issue with features such as narrow-band imaging, which provide high-resolution and enhanced visualisation without the need to use a contrast dye.

Within North America, the US is the biggest with a market value of $273m in 2016, followed by Canada and Mexico. The main driving factors for growth in the region are the growth in the number of urologic procedures and increase in the prevalence of urinary tract-related diseases.
