Stoma Care Market Size

Stoma Care Market Trends & Drivers

Surging Prevalence of Inflammatory Conditions Drives the Industry

The rising prevalence of various inflammatory bowel conditions, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, diverticular disease, fecal incontinence, and colorectal and intestinal cancer, along with the growing healthcare expenditure, and the advent of novel products for stoma care are fueling the growth of the market.

For instance, as per a report published in May 2022, by the European Federation of Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA), approximately 10 million people globally are having inflammatory bowel disorders (IBD). Also, according to the same source, in the U.K., an estimated 0.81% of adults are living with IBD. Such a rise in the number of the population having IBDs is increasing multiple awareness programs of how the disorders are affecting the growing geriatric population.

Likewise, as per the American Cancer Society, in the U.S., colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed and there were approximately 106,180 new cases of colon cancer and 44,850 new cases of rectal cancer in 2022. Moreover, age raises the risk of colorectal cancer since it is often detected in patients between the ages of 65 and 74 years. This, in turn, is driving the growth of the stoma care sector.

Stoma Care Market Analysis

Ostomy Bags Category To Exhibit Significant Growth

The ostomy bags category is expected to witness a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast timeline. This can be ascribed to the escalation of temporary as well as permanent stoma surgeries among people suffering from IBDs and small and large intestine cancers, and technological advancements in this type of bag, which is required for stoma surgeries. For instance, in June 2021, Welland Medical Limited announced the launch of its brand-new ostomy pouch range Aurum Plus. This novel range of pouches is available in drainable, closed, and urostomy in various sizes. Through extensive research and development, Aurum Plus commenced as an ideal to give ostomates greater comfort, choice, and confidence.

Moreover, constant improvements made in available products as per the requirement of patients by major players and the advent of effective and appropriate pouching systems and related accessories that serve to enhance the quality of life of ostomy patients are projected to drive the market of stoma care over the forecast period. For instance, Trio Healthcare Ltd. launched Trio Siltac, which is the only silicone-based ostomy seal available globally. This seal provides a superior solution for averting leakage and protecting the skin around the base of the stoma.

Colostomy Category Dominates the Industry

In the surgery type segmentation, colostomy surgery is dominating the market. This is primarily due to the rising incidence of colon cancer and the increasing number of colostomy procedures. For instance, according to the United Ostomy Associations of America, approximately 100,000 ostomy surgeries are carried out in the U.S. every year. Common disorders leading to the need for colostomy surgeries include diverticulitis causing rupture, IBD, birth defect cancer, and bowel obstruction injury. In addition to that, the availability of various kinds of colostomy bags, such as drainable or closed system bags, is leading to the market growth in this category.

Hospitals and Specialty Clinics Hold the Largest Share

The hospitals and specialty clinics category dominate the market. This is because a large number of patients prefer to visit hospitals and specialty clinics in case of any pain or inflammatory disorders and the upgradation of healthcare infrastructure by governments and private players. In addition to that, the rising number of these facilities, the growing adoption of advanced technologies by small & large specialty clinics and hospitals, and the increasing launches of advanced technologies are fueling the market growth in this category.

Also, specialty clinics are emerging across the world, owing to a considerable rise in the number of outpatient ostomy clinics and stoma care nurses, offering support and educational services to ostomates.

On the other hand, the home care settings category is projected to witness the fastest growth during 2022–2030. This can be due to the surging adoption of home care services and the rising penetration of stoma care nursing interventions in these settings.

Regional Analysis

Europe Is Principal Revenue Contributor

In 2022, Europe accounted for the largest revenue share, of around 40%, and it is predicted to maintain its position during the forecast period as well. This is attributed to the surging incidence of inflammatory bowel diseases, robust healthcare infrastructure, the presence of leading industry players and reimbursement policies for stoma care surgeries by private insurance companies, and the growing government expenditure in the region.

Moreover, Germany is contributing the major revenue to the European market. This is owing to the surging need for ostomy pouches, accessories, and services at a high pace. Apart from this, the rising disposable income of people in the country is creating a high demand for stoma surgeries.

In Europe, France is having the best healthcare system along with excellent services in public healthcare in the world. The healthcare system is equipped with the best infrastructure and advanced facilities, along with a fully integrated network of public and private hospitals, doctors, and other medical service providers. Also, the incidence of bladder cancer, the geriatric population, the consumption of tobacco, and the awareness associated with ostomy care among patients with stomas are increasing in France. Hence, these factors drive the French market growth.

In addition, the cases of bladder cancer are rising in France, due to the increasing prevalence of urinary tract cancer, which occurs mostly in women. The incidence rates of bladder and kidney cancers among men and women in the country are 1:3 and 1:6, respectively. This is due to the increase in the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles and a lack of knowledge. Thus, these factors boost the demand for stoma care.

On the other hand, the APAC market is projected to witness the fastest growth in the coming years. This can be due to huge patient bases in countries like China and India, various government initiatives, and the growing medical industry offering advanced stoma care facilities in the region.
