Ulcerative colitis is a category of inflammatory bowel disease that results in inflammation and sores in the digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the inner lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Usually, symptoms can be seen gradually depending upon the severity of inflammation. Mild symptoms can be cured by drug therapy but surgical treatment is needed in case of severity. Ulcerative colitis may lead to colon cancer if persists for over 8 years or longer. Increasing healthcare preventative measures also progressively becoming more and more sensitive to seek the advantages of the therapy. In preventative healthcare, drugs and novel therapies also reduce the chance of getting colon cancer. Possible complications associated with ulcerative colitis include perforated colon, a rapidly swelling colon, severe bleeding, and osteoporosis, increased risk of blood clots in veins and arteries, and severe dehydration. The exact cause of ulcerative colitis is not known, but the possible reasons can be genetic factors, environmental changes, or a malfunctioning immune system. The ulcerative colitis can be prevented by simple healthy habits such as eating small meals throughout the day, staying well hydrated throughout the day, avoiding fatty foods, and limiting the intake of high-fiber food.
China Ulcerative Colitis Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Several countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regards to transportation and distribution of healthcare products. The management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with strictly limited hospitalizations and delaying diagnostic procedures.
Thus, impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit the growth of the China ulcerative colitis market during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published in April 2020, in the Lancet, Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is altering the treatment of various chronic diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease patients (IBD). Moreover, routine endoscopy, in particular, was temporarily suspended in the hospitals, but the government has given permission for emergency endoscopy in several countries where the severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread. In the midst of the pandemic, there are currently no specific endoscopic recommendations for patients with IBD based on direct evidence. Patients with IBD were advised to follow the World Health Organization (WHO)'s general public health measures, particularly those on systemic corticosteroids, thiopurine, and biologics, as they are considered to be moderate-to-high risk patients who are susceptible to COVID-19 and its complications.
The China ulcerative colitis market is estimated to be valued at US$ 246.3 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period (2022-2030)
