Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • BSX's Endoscopy revenues rose 6% to $673M in Q1 2025, making up 14% of total company sales.
  • Growth was fueled by strong global demand and high adoption of BSX's advanced GI treatment technologies.
  • Boston Scientific's AXIOS, OverStitch, and MANTIS tools saw double-digit growth, driving segmental momentum.

Boston Scientific’s (BSX - Free Report) Endoscopy business develops and manufactures devices to diagnose and treat a broad range of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions using innovative, less invasive technologies. The company is strategically positioned to benefit from the expanding global endoscopy devices market through its strong innovation pipeline and well-diversified product offerings. Per an Allied Market Research report, the global endoscopy devices market was valued at $28.1 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $44.1 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2023 to 2032. 

Sales of Endoscopy products totaled $673 million, up 6% both operationally and organically, for the first quarter of 2025. Endoscopy sales accounted for 14% of the company’s overall revenues. 

Sales growth can be attributed to steady performance across geographies and BSX’s diverse product suite. A key highlight was the continued double-digit growth of the AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery Enhanced Delivery System. AXIOS is the first and only stent indicated for transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts.

 Additionally, the Endoluminal Surgery franchise saw double-digit growth from two innovative technologies — OverStitch and MANTIS Clip. This indicates robust adoption of advanced endoscopic tools aimed at minimally invasive procedures. The segment’s consistent growth is attributed to its balanced regional performance and strong traction in newer, high-potential product lines. Accordingly, Boston Scientific is poised to sustain long-term growth in the high-potential endoscopy space.
