A stoma, or bowel diversion, refers to an ostomy opening in the abdomen used to facilitate the removal of intestinal contents from the body. Stomas can be temporary or permanent and require special care for effective treatment. Some of the commonly used stoma/ostomy care devices include ostomy bags, seals, barrier rings, pouch covers, pouch closures and stoma caps. These devices are air- and water-tight and are attached to the abdominal wall to collect the waste material and can be disposed when required. They are primarily needed for the treatment of various chronic disorders, such as bowel, prostate or bladder cancer, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
The increasing prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease and colorectal and bladder cancer is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising geriatric population across the globe, which is more susceptible to such ailments, is providing a thrust to the market growth. In line with this, growing health consciousness and awareness regarding the available ostomy care products are also contributing to the market growth. Additionally, various technological advancements, such as the development of innovative ostomy care products that aid in minimizing odor and providing pH control to prevent skin infections, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These products have human-centric designs that fit effectively and move with the body movements as the patient bends, due to which they are widely preferred by individuals and healthcare professionals. Other factors, including the implementation of campaigns by various government and not-for-profit organizations to promote effective ostomy care, along with significant improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, are anticipated to drive the market further.
The competitive landscape of the industry has also been examined with some of the key players being 3M Co., Alcare Co. Ltd., B. Braun, BAO Health Medical Instrument Co.
