Colon Hydrotherapy Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Colon Hydrotherapy Market Analysis

The colon hydrotherapy market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period.

The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted the market. The restrictions and lockdowns during the pandemic led to the cancellation of several medical procedures. This resulted in delays in colonic hydrotherapy procedures. However, the chances of rising gastrointestinal issues increased related to COVID-19 infection. For instance, according to the NCBI article published in April 2022, SARS-CoV-2 enters the intestinal mucosa and causes gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea or abdominal pain. The same source also reported that extensive mucosal sloughing in the small intestine and colon has been reported in COVID-19-affected patients. Hence, this created a demand for colon hydrotherapy procedures to clean the colon during the pandemic. Therefore, the market witnessed moderate growth during the pandemic and is expected to gain traction over the forecast period.

Factors such as the increasing prevalence of colon cancer and technological advancements in diagnostic tools for colon hydrotherapy are driving market growth over the forecast period. Additionally, rising investment in healthcare globally is a major factor that creates new opportunities for the colon hydrotherapy market. For instance, as per the report published in 2022 by Information Resources Incorporated (IRI), Germany is one of the major countries with advanced healthcare systems and technologies, and the country invests more in healthcare. In 2022, healthcare spending in Germany exceeded USD 143.1 billion. The increasing healthcare spending in countries worldwide is creating more opportunities for medical procedures such as colon hydrotherapy. Thus, such a factor is anticipated to drive market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, the developments and rise in the adoption of colon hydrotherapy in hospital and clinical settings are also expected to drive market growth. For instance, in July 2022, Medtronic expanded the health equity assistance program for colon cancer screening with support from Amazon Web Services and completed the first installation of donated GI Genius intelligent endoscopy modules. Thus, the increasing availability of colonic hydrotherapy services among end users is boosting the demand for colonic hydrotherapy, which is ultimately expected to drive the overall market over the forecast period.

In addition, the increasing colon cancer globally is one of the key factors bolstering the market growth. For instance, as per WHO data updated in February 2022, colon cancer was one of the most common cancers in the population, and an estimated 1.93 million new cases of colon and rectum cancers were registered globally in 2021. The procedure is known for its benefits, such as removing toxins, boosting energy, improving the immune system, helping with weight loss, improving digestion, and preventing colon cancer. Hence, the increasing number of colon cancer worldwide is predicted to generate demand for colon hydrotherapy procedures, thereby propelling the market growth over the forecast period.

However, a lack of awareness about technological advancements in diagnostic tools for colon hydrotherapy may hinder market growth over the forecast period.
