Bowel Management Systems Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Bowel Management Systems Market Analysis

The bowel management systems market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period.

• Amidst the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rise in other health complications that rose with COVID-19 infections. A report by the Surveillance Epidemiology of Coronavirus Under Research Exclusion (SECURE-IBD) database published in January 2022 mentioned that adverse COVID-19 outcomes were associated with age and other co-morbidities among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
• The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus initiates activation of innate and adaptive immune responses upon entering the gastrointestinal tract. The onset of inflammatory reactions can supposedly induce intestinal damage in IBD patients. However, the relaxation of the lockdown restrictions during the post-pandemic period is expected to drive the demand for the bowel management system due to the lifting of lockdowns across the world.
• Further, the high incidence of inflammatory bowel disease and the rising geriatric population are among the major factors driving the growth of the studied market. For instance, in the European Federation of Crohn's & Ulcerative Colitis Associations, in 2022, it has been stated that there are around 10 million individuals that are living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) globally. Hence, the high number of patients with IBD is elevating the need for bowel management systems. Additionally, as per the World Health Organization, in 2022, it has been stated that 1 in 6 people in the world will be aged 60 and over by 2030, which will be 1.4 billion. The increasing geriatric population across the world is found to be more prone to constipation, diarrhea, and other bowel conditions that help to drive the bowel management systems market.
• Thus, the above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the market's growth during the forecast period. However, patients' greater preference for non-invasive treatment devices is likely to impede market growth.
