The global continence care market is estimated to grow substantially through 2030. The industry growth is driven by technological advancements and the launch of new products related to managing incontinence issue. It is to be noted that incontinence is the body's inability to control urination and defecation processes.
The manufacturers are constantly working to aid patients and caregivers in handling the incontinence issues brought on by the rising prevalence of chronic and urological disorders globally. For instance, in June 2020, Essity leveraged its R&D resources to develop the new TENA Intimates designed with upgraded features. This has contributed to an increase in sales further enhancing the product acceptance and impelling the industry share.
The demand for the incontinence pessaries product category of continence care market is likely to grow in the coming years, resulting from the rise in prevalence of urological illnesses and urge incontinence among women. A pessary is a prosthetic device used to support the internal structure of vagina, thus providing treatment for vaginal prolapse. The insertion of pessary can also help in avoiding the pelvic surgery.
Moving on, urge incontinence is a kind of urinary incontinence that causes involuntary urine leakage due to sudden, intense impulse to urinate. Growing health conditions including diabetes, neurological disorders, and infections leading to urge incontinence among adults may bolster the demand for continence care solutions. The NCBI 2021 studies state that between 40% and 80% of the global male population suffering from urine incontinence would have urge incontinence.
Based on disease, mental disorders segment is estimated to generate revenues for the global continence care industry in the coming years. Pathological anxiety caused by mental ailments leads to obsessive need to void, giving the feel of bladder fullness and effecting urge incontinence. Rising pervasiveness of schizophrenia, depression, and psychological issues are stimulating the industry outlook. According to a report by NCBI, around 51% patients with fecal incontinence suffered from altered mental health condition in 2019.
