An ostomy device is a piece of artificial gastrointestinal medical device that makes a stoma by collecting waste from a biological system that has been surgically diverted (the colon, ileum, or bladder). An ostomy may be required due to congenital disability, bladder cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, obesity, and other medical issues. Colostomy, urostomy, and ileostomy are the three main categories.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease), also known as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, affects over 3 million (1.3%) individuals in the United States every year. The global market is expected to grow as inflammatory bowel disease becomes more prevalent globally.

The stoma or ostomy care business is expanding, due to advancements in ostomy devices, contributions by manufacturing companies to new technologies and growing patient education campaigns about the use of ostomy devices are the factors propelling the market ahead to grow further.

What are the Key Drivers for Stoma/Ostomy Care Product Manufacturers?

The market for ostomy care products is highly driven by the increasing prevalence of patient pool suffering from cancers including colon and rectum cancer. This is increasing demand for various ostomy care products especially for the bedridden patients.

Companies have been manufacturing products with human-centric design - comfortable, light, leak-free, and gently fits and moves with the patient's body as they bend. Hence, preferred by both patients and healthcare professionals.

ConvaTec Inc.'s Esteem+ Flex Convex product, for example, has a hydrocolloid skin barrier, stays firm with minimal leakage, and resists snagging on clothing.

The availability of numerous e-commerce sites selling surgical procedure-related products may increase sales of stoma care products. Some popular e-commerce sites such as Express Medical Supply Inc.

and Amazon-Stoma bags that provide discounts, warranties, and prompt customer service on a variety of stoma care accessories. All of these factors are expected to provide a much-needed boost to the stoma/ostomy care sector.

What are the Factors Restraining Demand for Stoma/Ostomy Care Products?

Poor economic conditions in developing countries, a lack of reimbursement for ostomy care bags, a postoperative surgical complication, elevated risks involved with ostomy surgeries, anaesthesia reaction, bleeding, blood clots, septicaemia, wound infection, and unpleasant psychological and emotional effects of the ostomy or stoma surgery are all expected to hinder the stoma or ostomy care market.

The primary issue limiting the stoma care and accessories industry is ineffective and insufficient ostomy care accessory payment rules. Patients frequently obtain unnecessary National Health Service goods, resulting in billing or incorrect charging. The estimated incorrect billing amount for ostomy products in the USA for the year 2020 is USD 93.4 million, according to the Medicare Learning Network. As a result of the troubling reimbursement procedures, concerns about inappropriate stoma care supply invoicing, are expected to impede the stoma or ostomy care market.

Although stomas are a relatively common and safe surgery, there are some risks. For example, skin irritation from ostomy appliance adhesive, risk of dehydration from waste exiting the stoma, leakage due to improper fitting, bowel obstruction due to improper food chewing or digestion, parastomal hernia, or necrosis. Most stoma complications are minor, but necrosis and dehydration can become medical emergencies.
