Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. Types of inflammatory bowel diseases include ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Ulcerative colitis is the condition that causes inflammation and sores (ulcers) along the superficial lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Crohn's disease is a type of IBD which is distinguished by inflammation of the digestive tract's lining, which frequently involves the deeper layers of the digestive tract. Signs and symptoms of both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis include diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain and cramping, reduced appetite, and unintended weight loss.
The first step in IBD treatment is anti-inflammatory medication. These medications aid in the reduction of digestive tract inflammation. Corticosteroids such as prednisone and 5-ASA drugs (amino salicylates) like mesalamine reduce inflammation, primarily in the small intestine and colon. Biologics such as infliximab (remicade) and adalimumab (humira) are aimed at neutralizing proteins in the body that cause inflammation. Some medications, such as anti-diarrheal medications or pain relievers, may help relieve your signs and symptoms in addition to controlling inflammation.
Global Inflammatory Bowel Disease Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as pandemic on March 11, 2020. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 182 million cases and 3.95 million deaths due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were reported till July 2, 2021, across the globe.
Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treatment
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 global inflammatory bowel disease market during the forecast period. For instance, according to article published in April 2020, in the Lancet, Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is altering the treatment of various chronic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease patients (IBD). Routine endoscopy, in particular, has been temporarily suspended, and only emergency endoscopy is permitted 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 global inflammatory bowel disease market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,821.8 Mn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.9 % over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represents a group of diseases that cause chronic inflammation (pain and swelling) of the intestines. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are examples of IBD and both of them have an impact on the digestive system.
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have similar symptoms that are abdominal pain, diarrhea and fatigue. There is no single test that can diagnose either condition. A complete blood count (CBC) and a stool test are performed to look for signs of intestinal inflammation. In addition, tests such as colonoscopy and endoscopy can be used to diagnose IBD. Colonoscopy is a procedure used to examine the large and small intestines. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is used to look for swelling and ulcers in the digestive tract.
A variety of medications may be used to treat IBD, including aminosalicylates, corticosteroids (such as prednisone), immunomodulators, and the newest class of IBD medications, known as "biologics." Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for IBD patients to prevent infections.
