However, IBS is majorly diagnosed by lactose intolerance tests, breath test for bacterial overgrowth, blood test, and stool test. The tests are done based on symptoms such as constipation-predominant, diarrhea-predominant, or mixed. It can also detect by various imaging tests such as CT Scan or X-ray, upper endoscopy, and colonoscopy.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnostics market is segmented on the basis of diagnosis, indication, and geography.

Market Insights

Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic gastrointestinal condition that is caused due to disturbances in bowel habits and abdominal pain. The disease is also known as spastic colon, irritable colon, mucous colitis, and spastic colitis. Irritable bowel syndrome shows symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and cramping.

People across the world are witnessing considerable incidence of irritable bowel syndrome. According to the data published by International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders, among all irritable bowel syndrome patients, about 40% of people have mild IBS, around 35% have moderate IBS, and an estimated 25% have severe IBS. Food allergies, developing stages of gastroenteritis, sporadic movements of colon, abnormal composition of serotonin in colon, and mild celiac disease are among the risk factors that cause irritable bowel syndrome. According to a study published on NCBI in 2018, irritable bowel syndrome is estimated to affect around 10–16% of the US population each year. Further, as per the IBS Global Impact Report, in 2016, an estimated mean prevalence of individual countries ranged from 1.1% in France and Iran to 35.5% in Mexico. Latin America had a prevalence rate of 17.5%, Asia 9.6%, North America/Europe/Australia/New Zealand 7.1%, and the Middle East & Africa had a prevalence rate of 5.8%.  Such staggering prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome is likely to boost the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnostics market during the forecast period.

To cope up against irritable bowel syndrome, the market players are taking constructive steps to create programs to spread awareness among the population. For instance, in 2018, the collaboration of Allergan PLC and Ironwood launched an Interactive Digital Destination platform to encourage sufferers to get educated and act. Similarly, in January 2018, Commonwealth Diagnostics International, Inc. collaborated with American professional golfer, Rob Oppenheim to raise awareness about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Increasing Number of FDA Approvals and Diagnostics Developments Contribute Significantly to Market Growth

Increasing number of FDA approvals and diagnostics development activities are likely to accelerate the growth of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnostics market during the forecast period. Majority of the established as well as new players are coming forward to develop and manufacture diagnostic solutions for the disease, which will lead to ample availability of the diagnostic solutions in the market. For instance, in February 2020, Commonwealth Diagnostics International (CDI), Inc. re-launched the IBSchek, the first clinically validated biomarker blood test for mixed-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D, IBS-M) and diarrhea-predominant in a new at-home capillary collection kit. Further, in October 2018, Gemelli Biotech launched the IBS-smart, an innovation in blood testing for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), in partnership with Medically Associated Science and Technology Program (MAST) at Cedars-Sinai.

The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) diagnostics market is projected to witness approvals of diagnostic solutions, which will eventually have a positive impact on the growth of the market. For instance, in June 2019, BÜHLMANN Laboratories AG received United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its BÜHLMANN fCAL turbo Automated Calprotectin Test and BÜHLMANN fCAL ELISA Calprotectin Test. According to company estimates, the test is anticipated to observe thriving sales in the global market.
