Global Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy Size Expected to Reach USD 303 Million by 2025

Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB), also known as electromagnetic-guided bronchoscopy, is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to diagnose and locate lung lesions and nodules. It combines real-time electromagnetic navigation technology with a flexible bronchoscope to reach and access areas deep within the lungs. During the procedure, a preoperative CT scan is registered to the patient＇s anatomy using electromagnetic sensors. The bronchoscope is then guided to the target area with precision and safety. ENB allows for more accurate and less invasive sampling of lung tissue, aiding in the early diagnosis of lung cancer and facilitating the planning of subsequent treatments or surgical interventions, often reducing the need for more invasive procedures like traditional surgery or needle biopsies.                    

Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy Market Size and Future Growth Trend Forecast

According to WENKH's in-depth research and analysis, the global Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy market size will reach 303 US$ million in 2025. With the increasing awareness of early screening for lung diseases, especially lung cancer, the clinical reliance on high-precision, minimally invasive diagnostic tools continues to increase, and the shortcomings of traditional bronchoscopes in locating deep and small lesions are becoming increasingly apparent. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopes combine three-dimensional navigation and real-time guidance technology to improve puncture accuracy and diagnostic efficiency, promote their widespread application in lung interventional diagnosis and treatment, and drive the steady growth of the electromagnetic navigation bronchoscope market, it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.21% to 637 US$ million in 2032.
