Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global colostomy bags market to grow at a CAGR of close to 6% by 2020. One of the primary drivers for this market is the increasing need for stoma care. The spillage of stool onto the stoma, sweating, dislocation of the colostomy bag, and unhygienic conditions can cause localized infections around the stoma resulting in a hard, reddened, and painful area. To counter the spread of stoma infections, several medical facilities are using colostomy care accessories. For instance, a colostomy belt can be worn with two-piece and convex ostomy bags to help prevent body waste leakage. Similarly, colostomy powders and cleaning wipes are used to maintain skin care and keep the area around the stoma dry.
As per this industry research report, the market is witnessing increased usage of a closed one-piece system for the management of diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and irritable bowel syndrome. In closed one-piece ostomy bags, the bag and the flange together form an inseparable unit and are fixed around the stoma. They are easy to dispose of as the whole unit can be removed. This minimizes the duration and effort required for routine ostomy care. For instance, ConvaTec’s ActiveLife One-piece closed-end pouch is lightweight, flexible, and easy to manage with the presence of a pre-cut stoma opening and a charcoal filter.
During 2015, the colostomy drainage bags segment dominated the market and accounted for more than 86% of the total market share. Rising number of chronic diseases across the globe, especially among people aged 60 and above have increased the usage of colostomy drainage bags. One-piece bag system is more popular in usage as it is less bulky and adheres more securely to scarred or uneven skin. Vendors are coming up with advanced technologies to develop a broad range of colostomy drainage bags such as closed or drainable and one-piece or two-piece pouching systems that cater to varying customer needs.
The Americas will be the key revenue-generating region in the market by 2020, and is expected to account for around 47% of the total market share. The effective implementation of healthcare reforms has allowed many people in the region to undergo the procedure and use colostomy bags and care accessories. Rising incidences of diseases such as inflammatory bowel syndrome, cancer, and Crohn's disease will increase the adoption of colostomy-based treatment in the region.
Providers in the market offer a broad range of colostomy bags and accessories and are increasingly adopting marketing strategies such as online marketing and development and use of advanced technologies to manufacture innovative products. Vendors are shifting towards developing regions such as Brazil, Mexico, China, India, and Russia owing to the significant growth opportunities in these regions.
