Bowel management systems control the containment of liquid or semi-liquid stools. It is applied to people with fecal incontinence to protect their skin from pollutants and moisture that could lead to skin damage. Containing infected body waste in a closed system decreases the spread of infection. Furthermore, it offers protection by supporting the sacral and perianal pressure points. The chance of unintentional stool leakage and constipation can be greatly reduced by using bowel management systems or devices such as colostomy bags, irrigation systems, and others. Due mainly to the availability of technologically cutting-edge bowel management devices, the market for bowel management systems is anticipated to rise significantly throughout the forecast period.
Additionally, the market is growing due to the ageing population and an increase in diseases like irritable bowel syndrome linked to fecal irregularity. Irritable bowel syndrome incidence has markedly increased in recent years, with reports from around the world.

However, a surge in government R&D expenditures in the healthcare industry fuels the market for bowel management systems. The market isn't growing, though, because there aren't enough qualified specialists and patients find these gadgets uncomfortable to use. Contrarily, it is anticipated that developing healthcare R&D facilities and introducing numerous new devices would open up lucrative chances to expand the bowel management system market.
