The prevalence of autoimmune disorders like irritable bowel syndrome, which can cause constipation or fecal inconsistency, and increased research efforts for creating medical devices for managing feces have also increased demand for skin barriers.

New York, United States, Feb. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The containment of stool with a liquid or semiliquid consistency is managed with a skin barrier. It aids people with fecal incontinence in keeping their skin free of irritants and dampness, which can promote skin breakdown. A thin film is placed on ostomy pouches to prevent leakage of bodily fluids. By containing infectious bodily waste within a closed system, it aids in preventing the spread of infection. Moreover, it helps the protection of the perianal and sacral pressure zones. In order to reduce the risk of involuntary bowel leaks and constipation, skin barriers and devices are essential.

Rising Incidence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Urine Incontinence Drives the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global skin barriers market size was valued at USD 1,012.41 million in 2022. It is estimated to reach USD 1,428.15 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2023–2031).” Globally, the incidence of irritable bowel syndrome has increased significantly during the past few decades. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, 10–15% of adults in the United States exhibit IBS symptoms. In the near future, it is anticipated that the global rise in the incidence of irritable bowel syndrome will stimulate the growth of the skin barrier market. The increasing prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) in the world is one of the primary factors driving the demand for skin barriers and the expansion of the market. In addition, BioMed Central’s sample of 518,465 individuals aged 55 to 106 found a global prevalence of 37.1% for urinary incontinence among older women. A complete systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies on prevalence and variables linked to urine incontinence in older adult women globally in 2021 revealed that Asia had the highest incidence of urinary incontinence among older women, at 45.1%. Therefore, the rising occurrence of incontinence will boost the skin barrier market.

High Growth Potential in Emerging Economies Creates Tremendous Opportunities

The growing economies of Asia-Pacific and LAMEA offer significant growth prospects for increasing the skin barriers market due to improvements in healthcare infrastructure and an increase in demand for better healthcare in these regions. The development of autoimmune illnesses such as irritable bowel syndrome, which can lead to constipation or fecal inconsistency, as well as increased research efforts for developing medical devices for regulating feces, have boosted the market for skin barriers. In addition, the quick expansion of healthcare reforms in developing nations is anticipated to create profitable market expansion opportunities.
