Colostomy refers to a surgical procedure in which a surgeon diverts one end of the large intestine towards a visible opening, often known as stoma, on the abdomen of the patient. The condition of colostomy can be temporary as well as permanent, depending upon the severity of the disease. Some of the diseases that can lead to colostomy are bowel cancer, obtrusion, ischemia, diverticulitis, IBDs like Crohn’s colitis and traumatic injury. For collecting waste products, a colostomy bag which physically appears like a small pouch, is placed over the stoma. The objective of a colostomy bag is to allow the irritated and inflamed areas of the colon to heal while the waste is diverted away through colostomy bags. A new research report titled “Colostomy Bags Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023” by IMARC Group estimates that the global colostomy bags market was worth US$ 1.3 Billion in 2017. The report further expects the market to cross US$ 1.8 Billion by 2023, at a projected CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period.
