Anal Irrigation Systems Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Anal Irrigation Systems Market Analysis

The Anal Irrigation Systems Market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 3% over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak has notably affected the anal irrigation market in all the major regions in the world as the focus of the healthcare and medical device industry has shifted from their primary businesses to developing and supplying sustainable solutions for the management of the pandemic. In addition, the adverse impact on logistics, hampering the import/export and supply chains, is also expected to obstruct the growth of the anal irrigation systems market. On the other hand, the decrease in urological consultations during the COVID-19 outbreak also strongly impacted the market. For instance, the article published in April 2021 mentioned that urological activities decreased by 41% during the initial stages of the pandemic. Such a significant decrease in urological consultations also impacted anal irrigation systems during the initial stages of the pandemic. However, the resumption of urological activities after the relaxation of the strict lockdown is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.

The anal irrigation systems market is expected to show steady growth due to the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, the minimally invasive nature of therapy, and increasing technological advancements. For instance, the article published in Elsevier in October 2021 mentioned that an estimated 1.93 million colorectal cancers are diagnosed worldwide. On the other hand, the increasing geriatric population across the globe, who are more likely to be more prone to constipation, fecal incontinence, and conditions, is expected to drive the demand for anal irrigation systems, thereby contributing to market growth. For instance, as per the WHO data published in October 2021, by 2030, the number of people aged 60 years or over is expected to reach 1.4 billion, and the same number is projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. Such a rising geriatric population prone to developing bowel disorders is expected to drive the demand for anal irrigation systems, thereby contributing to the market's growth.

Additionally, the increasing product approvals from the regulatory authorities are expected to contribute to the market's growth. For instance, in December 2021, USMIMA SL received the US FDA approval for the first product MOWOOT II intestinal transit management system. Mowoot device demonstrated its safety, a high clinical responder state, and improvements in patient's quality of life.

However, factors such as the possibility of bowel perforation and lack of awareness among emerging countries are expected to hinder the growth of the market.
