The global hemorrhoids treatment market size was estimated at USD 762.99 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1,465.28 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2025 to 2033. The increasing prevalence of hemorrhoidal disorders is driving market growth, influenced by sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, rising obesity, and aging, which reduces tissue elasticity.
For instance, in December 2024, Journal of Disease and Global Health reported that 50% to 85% of the global population experienced hemorrhoids in their lifetime, with one-quarter of Africans over 50 affected. The study noted 3.3 million U.S. ambulatory-care visits, making hemorrhoids the fourth most common gastrointestinal disorder in outpatient settings. Mild to moderate cases were managed with fiber, hydration, and sitz baths, while severe cases used rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or infrared coagulation. Advanced cases required stapled hemorrhoidopexy or artery ligation, with postoperative care addressing pain, bleeding, and urinary retention. Greater awareness and diagnostic advances are driving timely interventions and treatment demand.
Technological innovations in hemorrhoid treatment methods are transforming patient care and supporting market expansion. Minimally invasive procedures, such as rubber band ligation, infrared coagulation, and laser therapy, offer faster recovery, reduced pain, and minimal complications, attracting more patients. Advanced topical formulations and oral medications improve symptom management and enhance patient adherence, while innovative combination therapies address multiple aspects of the disorder. For instance, in June 2024, Korea Biomedical Review reported that over 80% of the global population experiences hemorrhoids at some point, particularly individuals aged 45 to 65, with prevalence exceeding 50% in those over 50. The article emphasized early diagnosis, appropriate treatment strategies, and lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes and exercise, to manage and prevent complications. Clinics and hospitals increasingly implement these procedures to optimize outcomes and efficiency, reducing hospital stays and post-treatment follow-up requirements. Continuous improvements in treatment delivery and procedural techniques encourage wider adoption of these therapies, fostering growth across both developed and emerging markets globally.
Consumer demand for convenient, effective, and accessible hemorrhoid treatments is fueling market growth further. Over-the-counter ointments, suppositories, and oral supplements provide patients with practical options for self-care at home, while increasing awareness of lifestyle interventions encourages proactive symptom management. Marketing campaigns, educational initiatives, and digital platforms highlight the advantages and ease of use of modern treatments, enhancing patient engagement. Expanding distribution channels, including pharmacies, specialty clinics, and e-commerce platforms, ensure wider availability and accessibility. As patients increasingly prefer safe, minimally invasive, and home-based treatment solutions, manufacturers and healthcare providers continue to innovate, introducing new products and therapeutic options that meet evolving consumer expectations and needs.
