Global Short Bowel Syndrome Market —Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2018-2026
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a malabsorption syndrome caused by lack of a functional small intestine. The primary symptoms of SBS are diarrhea followed by dehydration, weight loss, and malnutrition. If SBS is left untreated it can lead to kidney stones. The primary reasons behind short bowel syndrome in children are damaged intestinal tissue, blockage or obstruction in intestine, gastroschisis, and rotation of the midgut also known as malrotation and in grown-ups. Short bowel syndrome is detected in Crohn’s disease, radiation enteritis, and mesenteric ischemia. This syndrome usually occurs in cases due to surgical elimination of major portion of small intestine
Market Dynamics- Drivers
Increasing incidence of short bowel syndrome worldwide is expected to drive growth of the global short bowel syndrome market during the forecast period. According to Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America, in 2010 there were 10,000–20,000 people in the reported cases of short bowel syndrome, out of which 25% people suffered some or the other complication within two years of contracting the condition. The rate of absorption decreases and due of lack of sufficient nutrients to the body, many children die due to malnutrition. According to Sancilio and Company, Inc., most cases of short bowel syndrome are due to birth in congenital anomaly, in which there occurs a rotation of midgut and the child die before the age of 6 years. According to Nutrinia Ltd, the existing approach to treat infants suffering from short bowel syndrome includes proper nutritional, pharmacologic, and surgical interventions. The primary aim is to promote enteral nutrition, while curtailing the difficulties of parenteral nutrition therapy. Most of the patients are given long-term parenteral treatment, which affects the patient and significantly increases the chances of liver disease, infections, and other complications. Babies who have substantial short bowel syndrome frequently struggle from intestinal failure-associated liver disease, bloodstream infections, and bacterial overgrowth. Furthermore, parenteral nutrition leads to a substantial economic burden on the general population and the healthcare system, with overall annual costs ranging from an estimated US$ 180,000 to US$ 570,000 and more.
