Market Scenario
Electronic pills are equipped with sensors and cameras which allow capturing of several images of the gastrointestinal tract. They are used for diagnostic purposes and are increasingly replacing traditional diagnostic methods. It further monitors various parameters such as temperature, conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Market Research Future (MRFR) has thoroughly studied the trends and patterns governing the global electronic pills market over the forecast period of 2018-2023 in a detailed study. MRFR projects a CAGR of 15% within the electronic pills market over the forecast period.
Towering prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders has driven the market for electronic pills. Electronic pills alleviate tedious and painful diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy and endoscopy and provide accurate results without much discomfort to the patient. Surging cases of stomach cancer coupled with increasing preference for minimally invasive medical procedures is likely to augment the growth of the electronic pills market. Healthcare professionals are increasingly adopting theses pills as they facilitate on-site diagnosis. Other factors which contribute to the growth of the market include improving reimbursement scenario and rise in global geriatric population who are more susceptible to various chronic diseases. Additionally, capsule endoscopy has gained widespread adoption as a non-invasive diagnostic method which is likely to fuel the growth of the market over the forecast period with new Electronic Pill Market Technology. On the contrary, the growth of the electronic pills market can be impeded by factors such as lack of awareness, capsule retention, and bowel obstruction. Moreover, high costs aligned with electronic pills and regulatory restrictions are anticipated to hinder the growth of the market.
