The global bowel management systems market was valued at USD 1.48 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 3.98% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027, in order to reach USD 1.87 billion by 2027. The increase in demand for bowel management products is primarily attributed to the increasing geriatric population across the globe who are more susceptible to developing bowel-associated disorders. In addition, rising neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, among others, and growing cases of nerve injuries due to spinal cord injuries, trauma injuries, and others would also increase the demand for bowel management systems as these factors most often lead to bowel incontinences. Also, rising government initiatives to raise awareness regarding prevention and management of bowel control issues, approval and launch of various bowel management products, among others are anticipated to bolster the market for bowel management systems during the forecasted period.
Bowel Management Systems Market Dynamics:
The market for bowel management systems is gaining pace at present due to the rising burden of the geriatric population who are prone to develop bowel disorders. This is because some people gradually lose muscle strength as they age. In addition, older women experience accidental bowel leakage more often as compared to men. According to the World Ageing Population 2020 Highlights, there were about 727 million people aged 65 years or over in the world in 2020. The report also projected the global number of older persons to double reaching over 1.5 billion in 2050. In addition, the report also mentioned that women accounted for about 55% of the older population aged 65 years or over in the same year.
Moreover, an increase in neurological disorders such as advanced dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease (PD), or nerve injuries due to spinal cord injuries, and others could also be potential factors that would increase the demand for bowel management systems as these are the significant risk factors for neurogenic bowel dysfunction. For instance, as per the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation 2020 data, approximately 2.8 million people were living with multiple sclerosis around the globe in the same year.
Additionally, rising cases of traumatic injuries due to road accidents, occupational accidents, and falls, among others could lead to peripheral nerve injuries thereby raising the demand for Bowel Management Systems products. For instance, according to the International Labour Organization (ILO) 2021 data, worldwide, there are approximately 340 million occupational accidents annually.
Hence, all the above-mentioned factors are expected to bolster the global market for Bowel Management Systems products.
Furthermore, approval of bowel management products would also augment the market for bowel management systems in the forthcoming years. For instance, on November 22, 2019, Dentsply Sirona received FDA approval for Navina Smart System and Navina Classic System intended for use in patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction, fecal incontinence, and chronic constipation.
Thus, all the aforementioned factors are expected to propel the bowel management systems market.
However, the discomfort associated with the use of bowel management systems is likely to impede the market for bowel management systems.
With the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic the demand for Bowel Management Systems products in the market decreased. This was due to the temporary suspension of numerous elective procedures and outpatient visits as the healthcare system guidelines worldwide temporarily focused all their efforts on the management of COVID-19 patient load during the initial lockdown period. Moreover, owing to the approval and administration of numerous COVID-19 vaccines across the globe in the second half of 2020, there was a significant improvement in the resumption of activities across various domains, including healthcare services, thereby paving the way for a sound period of recovery for the Bowel Management Systems market.
Bowel Management Systems Market Segment Analysis:
Bowel Management Systems Market By Product Type (Devices [Irrigation Systems, Nerve Modulation Devices, Others] Accessories), By Patient Type (Adult and Pediatrics), By End-User (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgical Centres, and Homecare), and By Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World).
In the Bowel Management Systems product segment, the nerve modulation devices are anticipated to hold a significant market share during the forecasted period. This is owing to the increase in neurogenic bowel disorders due to an increase in cases of trauma to the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. For instance, according to the Spinal Cord Injuries Australia 2021, more than 15,000 Australians were living with a spinal cord injury in the same year out of which 46% are due to land transport crashes involving motor vehicle occupants and unprotected land transport users such as motorcyclists, pedestrians, pedal cyclists and quad bikes whereas falls contribute to 36% of spinal cord injuries.
Furthermore, the rising focus towards R&D activities by the government organization and manufacturing companies for the development of nerve modulation devices for the management of bowel disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, accidental bowel leakage, and others are projected to contribute to the market growth.
For instance, NICHD (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) Pelvic Floor Disorders Network has completed a clinical trial in the year 2020 for device ES-130, a neuromodulation device for accidental bowel leakage.
Moreover, an increase in product approval for nerve modulation bowel management devices will contribute to the market growth. For instance, in January 2020, Bioness, Inc., the leading provider of advanced, clinically supported medical devices for the treatment of chronic pain of peripheral nerve origin, received CE mark approval for its StimRouter® Neuromodulation System indicated for the treatment of faecal incontinence (FI) across Europe.
Hence, all the interplay of all the above-mentioned factors will contribute to the segmental growth of the bowel management systems market in the upcoming years.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Bowel Management Systems Market:
Among all the regions, North America is expected to occupy a major share in the overall Bowel Management Systems market in the year 2020 and is expected to hold its position during the forecasted period. This domination is due to the rise in the target population in the region. In addition, an increase in neurological conditions, the presence of leading bowel management systems companies, and favourable reimbursement policies, among others are expected to surge the demand for the bowel management systems market.
The rising prevalence of Parkinson's disease in the region would contribute to the bowel management systems market. This is because faecal incontinence is a very debilitating symptom that can occur in advanced PD thereby leading to an increase in the demand for bowel management products. For instance, as per the Parkinson’s Foundation 2022, approximately 1.2 million people in the US are estimated to suffer from Parkinson's disease by the year 2030.
In addition, as per the 2021 data published by Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, Persons with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (together, inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]) make up more than 0.75% of the Canadian population in 2021. The disease affects over 300,000 Canadians which is expected to rise to 400,000 (1% of the population) by 2030. Thus, the rising population with bowel dysfunction and neurological disorders who are susceptible to developing bowel disorders would contribute to the growth of the regional bowel management systems market.
Moreover, product approvals in the region for the treatment of bowel discomfort are also expected to bolster the demand for bowel management systems in the country. For instance, on September 06, 2019, Axonics Modulation Technologies, Inc. received FDA clearance for its Axonics Sacral Neuromodulation System indicated for the treatment of chronic faecal incontinence in patients who have failed or are not candidates for other treatments, such as medications or physical therapy.
Further, the Asia Pacific region has future potential for the bowel management systems market. This is predominantly owing to the rising geriatric population, growing patient pool, increase in government initiatives to raise awareness regarding the proper management of bowel-associated disorders, and others. For instance, as per the Continence Foundation of Australia 2021 data, by 2030 over 6.2 million Australians will be affected by bowel or bladder incontinence. Furthermore, the Australian Government supports prevention and management of incontinence through three initiatives: National Continence Program (NCP), Continence Aids Payment Scheme (CAPS), and Stoma Appliance Scheme. In addition, improving healthcare infrastructure, rising disposable income, among others also some of the factors responsible for bowel management systems market growth in the region during the forthcoming years.
