Colostomy Bags Market to Soar in the Near Future Owing to Growing Consumer Adoption

A colostomy is an operation in which a surgeon inserts one end of the large intestine or colon through the abdominal wall. During this procedure, one end of the colon is cut and channelled toward the abdominal wall, creating a stoma or hole. A colostomy bag or tiny pouch is then placed over the hole or stoma to collect waste that would normally travel through the rectum. Colostomy is used to treat a variety of colon disorders, such as cancer, blockage, ischemia, inflammatory bowel disease, traumatic damage, or a ruptured diverticulum.

Based on product type, the global colostomy bags market can be bifurcated into colostomy drainage bags and colostomy care accessories. The colostomy drainage bags segment can be classified into one piece bags and two piece bags. The one piece bags sub-segment is likely to expand at significant pace due to its adhesive flange property which makes the bag easy to manage and comfortable for any kind of skin. The market is divided into three distribution channels: hospital pharmacy, retail pharmacy, and online retailers. Because colostomy is typically performed in hospitals, the hospitals segment is expected to increase rapidly. The demand for stoma care is a major driving force in the colostomy bag business. Another reason driving the market's expansion is the rise in the prevalence of colorectal cancer. The global increase in the prevalence of Crohn's disease (a kind of inflammatory bowel illness), particularly among those over the age of 60, pushes the use of colostomy drainage bags and accessories. Several firms are developing innovative technologies to create colostomy bags, such as one-piece, two-piece pouching systems, and so on.
