Based on my research Bitcoin can process over 7 transactions per second.

No. Today bitcoin can not handle 7 tx per second (in average).
The information in wiki is outdated.

Can this value be increased when the bitcoin system is used more intensively in the future? Is such a change needed? If there is such a requirement, can the protocol be improved?

Yes, it can be increased. Larger blocks, SegWit, lightning are methods of doing so.  There are lots of options.

Needed? That is a question you'd get many different answers to, depending on who you ask.

Transactions in the Bitcoin system are confirmed for a minimum of 10 minutes. So the transactions like visa does not have to be confirmed immediately.
Could such a change have not been made due to these features?

Visa doesn't print money only processes the transactions but bitcoins are generated during the process, there is a huge difference.
I don't know why people compare these things.
If segwit activates more than 7 can be done.

Can the improvements be made on the protocol when the bitcoin system is being used more intensively in the future?
