Bowel Management Systems Market by Product (Irrigation Systems, Nerve Modulation Devices, Colostomy Bags, and Accessories), Patient Type (Adult and Pediatric), End User (Home Care and Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Center) - Global Forecast to 2023
The global bowel management systems market is projected to reach USD 2.07 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.5%. Some of the major factors driving the growth of this market are: expanding target patient population, rapidly growing geriatric population, availability of technologically advanced bowel management products, and favorable reimbursement scenario in developed countries. Bowel/fecal incontinence refers to a patient’s inability to control bowel movements, which results in involuntary loss of solid or liquid stool. It is caused due to diarrhea, constipation, weaker muscle tone (that controls the opening of the anus), and chronic medical conditions (such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and nerve damage). The clinical devices used to manage bowel activity are called bowel management systems
“By product, colostomy bags segment to witness the highest growth during the forecast period"
The colostomy bags segment is expected to account for the largest share of the bowel management systems market.
“By patient type, Adult patients segment to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.”
The adult patient segment is estimated to account for the larger share of the bowel management systems market. While fecal incontinence (FI) affects individuals of all ages, it is more common in middle-aged and older adults due to their greater prevalence of neurologic diseases and weaker muscle tone. Additionally, the prevalence of FI is reported to be twice among women as compared to men, owing to the risk of injuries to the anal sphincter during childbirth
“The home care segment will grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.”
Factors such as the significant usage and growing adoption of bowel management products in home care settings, need for device replacement on a regular basis, and rising incidence of chronic disorders are expected to support the growth of the home care segment during the forecast period
“The RoW is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.”
The Rest of the World (RoW) comprises countries in Latin America (including Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and Chile), the Middle East (including Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Iraq), and Africa (including South Africa, Egypt, Ghana, and Nigeria). Rising market growth can be attributed to the growing target patient population, the ongoing expansion of healthcare infrastructure, and initiatives to enhance patient awareness.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Favorable reimbursement scenario in developed countries
The developed countries are reported to have favorable reimbursement scenarios for bowel management products, owing to which the demand for these products is expected to grow positively during the study period.
Restraint: Patient preference for non-invasive clinical management of FI
Currently, FI can be managed invasively (surgically) or non-invasively. Standard modes of surgical treatment include the injection of biomaterials into the anal canal, radiofrequency treatment of the anal canal, surgical repair of anal muscle injuries, sacral nerve stimulation, artificial bowel sphincter, muscle transposition to reinforce the anal sphincter, and the creation of a stoma. These often require long-term patient rehabilitation and maybe highly inconvenient and even severely painful.
As a result, the preference has grown for non-invasive approaches, such as the use of disposable products, medications, dietary and lifestyle changes, exercise, biofeedback, bowel training, transanal irrigation, antegrade colonic irrigation, and electrical stimulation. Additionally, these treatment alternatives are considered by surgeons as the first line of treatment as well. The significant adoption and patient preference for non-invasive treatment alternatives are expected to hamper the optimal growth of the bowel management systems market during the forecast period.
Challenge: Underreporting of FI
FI is among the most common pathophysiological medical conditions among the elderly population and women worldwide. Geriatric women are exposed to a greater risk of FI due to anal sphincter damage during pregnancy and childbirth. However, most patients suffering from FI are reluctant to report their clinical condition mainly out of embarrassment. Healthcare professionals also often fail to inquire about FI due to insufficient training regarding the latest options of FI treatment.
Thus, reluctance on the part of patients to report fecal incontinence is expected to be a key barrier for the optimal adoption of bowel management systems across respective geographies during the study period.
