Bowel Management Systems Market Report 2024

The bowel management systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.82 billion in 2023 to $1.92 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to the increasing global elderly population, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, heightened awareness and diagnosis rates, greater healthcare expenditures, favorable regulatory environments, and approvals for new products.

The bowel management systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.34 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to ongoing aging population expansion, enhanced healthcare infrastructure and economic progress in emerging markets, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare accessibility and funding for bowel disorder treatments, sustained efforts to raise awareness about bowel health, the proliferation of online pharmacies and e-commerce platforms, and increased investments in research and development. Notable trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of smart technology, utilization of AI and machine learning for predicting and managing bowel conditions, advancements in endoscopic and laparoscopic technologies, development of environmentally sustainable bowel management systems, and the incorporation of telehealth services for remote consultations.

The rising prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is expected to drive growth in the bowel management systems market. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses chronic inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Factors contributing to the increased incidence of IBD include evolving lifestyles, environmental factors, and genetic predispositions. Bowel management systems play a crucial role in managing symptoms such as diarrhea and fecal incontinence associated with IBD. For instance, Crohn's and Colitis Canada reported in June 2023 that approximately 322,600 individuals were affected by aplastic anemia, constituting 0.8% of the population, with diagnoses occurring at a rate of one every 48 minutes. It is projected that by 2035, the affected population will rise to 470,000, representing 1.1% of the population, with diagnoses occurring more frequently, at one every 38 minutes. Thus, the increasing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is a key driver behind the expansion of the bowel management systems market.

Leading companies in the bowel management systems sector are concentrating on advancing transanal irrigation devices to improve patient outcomes and bolster their market presence.
