Hemorrhoids, commonly known as piles, represent a condition characterized by the inflammation and swelling of blood vessels in the lower rectum and the anus. This distressing ailment often manifests in painless bleeding during bowel movements, accompanied by sensations of itching or irritation in the anal region, and visible swelling around the anus. Hemorrhoids are typically categorized into two primary types: internal, occurring within the rectum, and external, situated outside the anal opening. Managing this condition involves employing various treatment methods, including dietary modifications aimed at preventing constipation to alleviate further discomfort, the use of topical medications, and, in certain instances, surgical intervention. Hemorrhoid treatment devices play a pivotal role in this treatment spectrum by significantly reducing procedure duration and providing optimal access to the specific area of concern. Their use ensures a more comfortable experience for patients throughout the treatment process.

Additionally, new approaches to treat hemorrhoids, rising geriatric population are the major drivers that would push to the growth of the market.
Hemorrhoid Treatment Devices Market Segmental Insights
The Global Market of Hemorrhoid Treatment Devices is segmented based on device Type, Procedure, and End User.
The market, based on device type, has been categorized as rubber band ligators, infrared coagulators, proctoscopes, anoscopes, doppler probes, cryotherapy devices, bipolar probes, and others. Among these, rubber band ligators is the largest segment. Additionally, an extensive number of companies, such as Cook Medical, Integra LifeSciences Corporation, Privi Medical, and Boston Scientific Corporation is focusing on the development of rubber band ligators and are directly pushing the growth of this segment. For instance, Privi Medical received FDA clearance for its Instalief Hemorrhoids treatment device.
The Global Hemorrhoid Treatment Devices Market, based on procedure, has been categorized into rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, infrared coagulation, and others. Among these, rubber band ligation is the largest segment as it involves a much lower risk of pain than surgical treatments of hemorrhoids, as well as a shorter recovery period.
The Global market segmentation of Hemorrhoid Treatment Devices, based on end-user, has been divided into hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and others. Among these, hospitals & clinics accounted for the largest market share in 2018. Rising cases of hemorrhoids would ultimately accelerate the growth of hospitals & clinics segment. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK), in 2016, about 50% of people over the age of 50 had hemorrhoids, which ultimately involves hospitals & clinics for the treatment of hemorrhoids resulting in driving the market growth.
Regional Analysis
The Global Hemorrhoid Treatment Devices Market, based on region, has been divided into the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa.
The Americas led the market and accounted for the largest share in 2018, owing to the existence of medical device companies and the rising prevalence of diseases along with increased adoption of treatment by patients. In North America, the US held the largest of the market share in 2018 owing to the presence of major market players, developed healthcare infrastructure, high awareness, and availability of advanced treatment options. The number of people suffering from hemorrhoids in the US is currently estimated to be around 10.4 million; also, about 1 million new cases of hemorrhoids occur each year. Thus, this is propelling the demand for hemorrhoid treatments, thereby supporting the dominance of the region.
Europe accounts for the second-largest share in the global hemorrhoid treatment devices market owing to the presence of favorable government initiatives & laws and target population base, rising prevalence of lifestyle-associated conditions, obesity and constipation, and increasing adoption rate of hemorrhoids treatment devices. Nearly 50% of all Germans develop symptomatic hemorrhoids during their lifetime, and up to 70% of the adult population is affected by hemorrhoids.
Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period due to the increasing per capita health spending, growing older population base, rising incidence of hemorrhoids, and developing the healthcare sector in China, Japan, India, and Australia. Around 1 million new cases of hemorrhoids develop every year in India, which is nurturing the regional market growth, thus, resulting in the growth of the Asia-Pacific hemorrhoid treatment devices market.
The Middle East & Africa hemorrhoid treatment devices market is segmented into two major regions, namely the Middle East and Africa. In this region, the Middle East would hold a substantial market share over the assessment period due to high obesity rates, developing healthcare infrastructure, booming medical tourism, the budding medical device industry, and gradually increasing adoption of treatment modalities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. In 2016, the CIA World Factbook presented a list that ranked countries based on obesity rates. Several countries from the Middle East and North Africa were ranked highly with Kuwait at the highest obesity rate in the Middle East. Additionally, in 2016, the medical tourism sector displayed a significant growth of 9% to 10%, and more than 326,649 patients from all over the world visited Dubai for medical treatments. Thus, these factors are expected to have a positive impact on the Middle East and Africa market over the study period.

June 2023: Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. created a topical formulation called Halo-Lido (CITI-002) specifically designed to alleviate the symptoms of hemorrhoid discomfort and bleeding. The objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy of the combination product, identify the best dosage and endpoints for a Phase 3 trial, and validate the reliability of the Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) measure. Patients saw a notable amelioration in their symptoms following the administration of the high dosage formulation of CITI-002, which consists of a combination of lidocaine and halobetasol propionate. Furthermore, the research subjects exhibited good tolerance towards CITI-002, and no significant adverse effects were observed. After Phase 2 is completed, Citius will initiate the regulatory and clinical development phase for CITI-002 by scheduling a meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA recently introduced the Lockado Hemostasis Clip as a new addition to the SureClip series.
