The global ostomy/stoma care and accessories market size was valued at USD 2.81 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 5.77 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period.

Ostomy is gradually becoming a widely accepted procedure for diseases such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, and others. According to the Western Australian Ostomy Association Incorporated, there are around 3 million ostomates in the world. Besides, rising prevalence of colon cancer and the increasing adult population is further contributing to this number. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, many colorectal cancer patients may have temporary ostomy after surgery, and less than 10% will have a permanent ostomy.  The ostomy care industry is getting a significant boost owing to the improving healthcare reforms including government guidelines for the management of ostomy. For example, in July 2019, Coloplast published best practice guidelines for stoma care nurses who deal with pediatric patients. Apart from this, government awareness initiatives are also favoring the ostomy/stoma care and accessories market demand.

MARKET DRIVERS

Rising Number of Ostomy Surgeries to Drive the Market

Increasing number of stoma surgeries and rising number of ostomates are two of the primary factors that are boosting the stoma care market growth. According to the United Ostomy Associations of America, nearly 100,000 ostomy surgeries are performed in the U.S. every year. This is anticipated to increase the demand for ostomy/stoma care and accessories. Moreover, rising prevalence of ostomy care indications such as colorectal cancer, bowel cancer, and inflammatory bowel diseases is expanding the patient pool for ostomy procedure. This is expected to foster the market for ostomy/stoma care and accessories during the forecast period.

New Product Launches to Fuel the Market

Varying needs of ostomates have triggered manufacturers to develop new and advanced products. Since the patients have to perform their daily activities, they want products that are comfortable, light, and leakage free, fueling the demand for ostomy/stoma care and accessories. Also, people are actively adopting various accessories such as sprays, powders, ostomy belts, creams, and others to protect skin from infections and rashes. This has resulted in launch of numerous products with different designs and constructions, which in turn is driving the global ostomy care market growth. For example, in January 2017, ConvaTec Inc. announced the global launch of Esteem+ Flex Convex, a one-piece ostomy bag for people who have undergone ileostomy, colostomy, and urostomy.

MARKET RESTRAINT

Lack of Proper Reimbursement to Hinder the Market

Improper and poor reimbursement policies for ostomy care supplies is the key factor limiting the stoma care and accessories market. Many a times, patients receive supplies from the NHS that are not required, resulting in over billing or wrong billing. According to the Medicare Learning Network, during 2018, the estimated improper payment amount for ostomy supplies was US$ 92.4 million in the U.S. Thus, issues related to improper billing of stoma care supplies owing to unclear reimbursement policies are likely to hamper the market.
