The growth will be driven by rapidly aging population increase in the number of operative procedures involving creation of intestinal stoma and the resulting focus shed on stoma quality of life. World's population is rapidly aging supported by the increase in longevity as modern medicine becomes increasingly effective in preventing chronic disease, and reducing mortality. Also, easy access to age-friendly primary healthcare and growing sophistication of healthcare infrastructure play key roles in longevity.

For the first time in human history the percentage of older people in the total population is continuing to increase.

Colorectal cancer is the leading cause for creation of stomas/ostomy accounting for 45.6% of the prevalence rate.

Resultantly, the increasing life expectancy of people bodes well for the ostomy care products market, considering the chronic nature of the conditions and the increasing need to use ostomy products. The annual ostomy product costs per patient are estimated in the range of US$1,000 to US$1,200 on an on average globally.

Lack of proper ostomy care is the leading cause for hospital readmission rates and ER visits in the United States second to kidney transplants. Over the years, rising awareness and improving standards of ostomy care have helped drive the market for stoma/ostomy care products.

Popularity and easy availability of specially qualified stoma care nurses; development of best practice guidelines; easy access to new clinical insights and tools are all helping to deliver the best possible care for stoma patients.
