Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to two chronic conditions affecting the bowel- Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These incurable conditions cause inflammation and ulcers in the digestive tract. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, weight loss, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding. They can severely impact the quality of daily life. Treatment depends on the type and severity of disease but may include medications, surgery, or changes in diet and lifestyle.
The global Inflammatory Bowel Disease Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 18.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Growing geriatric population is a key trend fueling the inflammatory bowel disease market growth. Older adults aged 60 years and above are more susceptible to develop IBD as aging weakens the immune system. It is estimated that around 30% of IBD patients are above 60 years of age. Moreover, improved medical management has increased the life expectancy of IBD patients. This has led to rise in prevalence of IBD among the geriatric population globally. According to the United Nations, the number of older persons aged 60 years or over is expected to more than double by 2050 and reach nearly 2.1 billion people. This demographic shift creates high demand for effective IBD treatment and management options globally.
