Ostomy Care Market Forecast to Cross Its Own Peak by 2026


Ostomy refers to a surgical procedure that allows the passage of bodily wastes through a surgically created stoma or aperture on the abdomen into a prosthetic such as a pouch or bag placed outside the body. Ostomy is performed on patients suffering from various medical conditions, including cancer, birth defects, diverticulitis, incontinence, and inflammatory bowel disease. This procedure is also performed on patients suffering from severe abdominal and pelvic trauma caused due to accidents or severe injuries. Ostomy is also known as continent diversion surgery and can be performed on patients of all age groups. The procedure does not affect life expectancy of an individual.


Market Dynamics

The rising number of ostomy procedures being performed is the primary factor responsible for driving growth of the global ostomy care market. For instance, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information, around 100,000 people underwent operations resulting in colostomy or ileostomy in the U.S., in 2014. Increasing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is also expected to increase the demand for ostomy care. For instance, according to a research survey published in ‘The Lancet’ in October 2017, western countries suffer with a high prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease that has surpassed 0.3% of the total population. Moreover, according to the Worldwide Incidence and Prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in the 21st Century: A Systematic Review of Population-Based Studies 2017, the incidence of IBD and Crohn’s disease is increasing in Latin America, Africa, and Asia Pacific.
