Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Market size was over USD 3.01 billion in 2024 and is projected to cross USD 14.1 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing more than 12.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is estimated at USD 3.31 billion.
The market growth is mainly owing to the increasing prevalence of pancreatic and biliary diseases, along with the growing geriatric population. According to the American Cancer Society, pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. It was noted that about 60,430 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the year 2021, and about 48,220 people died from the disease. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to diagnose and treat diseases of the bile and pancreatic ducts.
In addition to this, it involves the insertion of an endoscope through the mouth into the duodenum, where a catheter is then passed through the endoscope and into the bile or pancreatic ducts. ERCP is commonly used to treat conditions such as gallstones, pancreatitis, and biliary obstruction. The prevalence of gallstone disease is estimated to be around 10-15% in the United States, with a higher incidence in women, older adults, and people with obesity. Overall, the increasing prevalence of pancreatic and biliary diseases is contributing to the growth of the ERCP Market as more patients require diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to manage their conditions. Technological advancements in ERCP devices and accessories are also estimated to contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period.

End-user (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers)
The global endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end user into hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and others. Out of the three types of applications, the hospitals segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 35% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be accredited to the large number of patients requiring treatment for pancreatic conditions. The hospitals are also growing rapidly in number, which is estimated to positively influence segmental growth. For instance, by the year 2022, there were noted to be approximately 6,100 hospitals in the United States. Hospitals provide a wide range of medical care. Physicians, called hospital doctors, typically specialize in internal medicine, pediatrics, or general practice. They have the knowledge to solve common problems and the resources to solve more complex medical problems. Hospitals may also offer specialized care, such as neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, and oncology. By definition of a hospital, a county hospital is typically a primary medical facility in a region with numerous intensive care and mobile beds for patients requiring long-term care.
Product (Endoscopes, Endotherapy Devices, Energy Devices)
The global endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product into endoscopes, endotherapy devices, and energy devices. Amongst these three segments, the endoscopes segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 30% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be accredited to technological advancements. Endoscope manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development to develop technologically advanced endoscopes that offer better imaging quality, increased durability, and improved patient comfort. This is expected to drive demand for endoscopes in the market. Endoscopes are essential for minimally invasive procedures such as ERCP, which offer several advantages over traditional open surgeries, including shorter hospital stays, reduced pain and scarring, and faster recovery times. The increasing demand for minimally invasive procedures is expected to drive the growth of the endoscopes segment. Gastrointestinal diseases, including pancreatic and biliary diseases, are becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Endoscopes are essential for diagnosing and treating these diseases, and as the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases continues to rise, the demand for endoscopes is expected to increase.
