Types segmentation is defined by endoscope design and material. Flexible gastroscope products, comprising ~75% of the market, prioritize patient comfort and anatomical navigation, making them ideal for standard diagnostic and therapeutic tasks. Rigid gastroscope variants, at ~20%, cater to specialized procedures requiring direct visualization and tool access, such as biliary or pancreatic interventions. Hybrid systems, accounting for 5%, integrate features of both designs for complex cases. Material-based differentiation—plastic versus metal—further influences adoption, with disposable plastic models gaining traction due to infection control advantages. This typology underscores the market’s adaptability to clinical needs, balancing cost, efficacy, and safety across healthcare settings.
