The market for pelvic floor diagnostics is expanding as a result of the growing demand for anorectal manometry equipment for the diagnosis of pelvic floor disorders. Anorectal manometry tests aid in assessing bowel function in patients with faecal incontinence or chronic constipation. The system measures the sphincter muscles’ strength and checks to see if they relax, as they should, while passing a stool.
Rapid increase in the geriatric population base is among the primary aspects leading to the increase in pelvic floor disorders, which, in turn, is driving pelvic floor diagnostics market growth.
- For instance, 727 million people globally were predicted to be 65 or older in 2020. By 2050, this figure is anticipated to more than double, reaching over 1.5 billion people. It is anticipated that the proportion of elderly individuals in the world population will rise from 9.3% in 2020 to 16 percent by 2050.
As individuals age, their hormonal composition changes, and their muscle mass declines, which results in pelvic floor dysfunction and faecal incontinence. The causes of issues such as incontinence, prolapse, constipation, and sexual dysfunction can be attributed to a variety of factors. These factors, which include a reduction in muscle tissue volume, a drop in estrogen/testosterone levels, and a lack of exercise, result in conditions such as incontinence, prolapse, constipation, and sexual dysfunction.
Therefore, the growing geriatric population is expected to majorly fuel the demand for pelvic floor diagnostics over the coming years.
