Anorectal Manometry Systems Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Rising Geriatric Population - Anorectal functions are dependent on age owing to a weakening of the aging-related muscles and are said to have a major negative impact on life quality and place a heavy load on healthcare. The majority of impacted ladies from rectal prolapse are older women especially those who are assigned as female at birth.

For instance, more than 770 million individuals worldwide were 65 years of age or older in 2022, making up around 9% of the world's population.

• Growing Burden of Pelvic Floor Disorders - Anorectal manometry is widely used in clinical patient assessment and research about pelvic floor problems, which occur from a weakening of the muscles that support and regulate the bladder, colon, and, in women, the uterus.

Challenges

• Dearth of awareness and education - Owing to the shame attached to it in society, fecal incontinence can be extremely harmful and is frequently misdiagnosed and poorly managed, which is also associated with disability, the existence of additional medical issues, and poor health, especially emotional difficulties.

Speaking about anal or rectal problems is fraught with stigma, which lowers one's quality of life because of the societal stigma attached to these disorders, as a result, these people put off consulting a healthcare provider about their concerns, and suffer with a worse prognosis in the end.

• The exorbitant cost of anorectal manometry systems is expected to limit the anorectal manometry systems market growth
• The presence of alternative diagnostic techniques may limit the adoption of anorectal manometry systems
