The global faecal extraction systems market size is anticipated to register a significant CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period and was accounted for over USD 1.5 billion in 2021. The rising prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases is a primary factor to drive the market growth. As per the latest information shared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, about 3 million adults were diagnosed with the IBD disease in the United States which is a 1.3% share of US adults. This is projected to be a large increase from 1999 to about 2 million adults.
The faecal sample extraction devices are used to detect any type of bacteria, virus, or parasitic particle present in the stool. The increasing use of the systems to identify intestinal infections and other diseases is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of bowel infections is further anticipated to propel the market growth. Moreover, the diverse application of one single sample is another advantage associated with the system, which is driving the market growth.
Market Drivers:
Increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases: Gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer, and infectious diarrhea, are becoming more prevalent globally. These conditions often require fecal sample collection and analysis for diagnostic purposes. Fecal extraction systems provide a convenient and efficient method for sample collection, driving their adoption in the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal diseases.
Growing awareness of the gut microbiome: The gut microbiome, composed of trillions of microorganisms residing in the digestive tract, has gained significant attention in recent years. Researchers are exploring the role of the gut microbiome in various health conditions, such as obesity, autoimmune diseases, and mental health disorders. Fecal extraction systems enable the collection of fecal samples for microbiome analysis, supporting research in this field and driving the demand for these systems.
Increasing demand for non-invasive diagnostic tests: Non-invasive diagnostic tests are preferred over invasive procedures whenever possible. Fecal extraction systems provide a non-invasive method for collecting stool samples, eliminating the need for more invasive procedures like colonoscopies or biopsies. The convenience and patient comfort offered by fecal extraction systems contribute to their growing adoption.
Advancements in technology and automation: Technological advancements have led to the development of more sophisticated and automated fecal extraction systems. These systems offer improved efficiency, accuracy, and reproducibility in sample collection and preparation. The automation of fecal extraction processes reduces the workload of laboratory staff and enables high-throughput analysis, driving their adoption in clinical and research laboratories.
Rise in screening programs for colorectal cancer: Colorectal cancer is a major global health concern, and early detection through screening programs is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) and fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) are commonly used screening methods, which rely on the collection of fecal samples. Fecal extraction systems provide standardized and reliable sample collection for these screening programs, supporting their implementation and contributing to market growth.
Increasing research on gut-related disorders: Research on gut-related disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and celiac disease, is expanding. Fecal extraction systems are essential for collecting fecal samples for research purposes, allowing the analysis of biomarkers, metabolites, and microbial profiles. The growing research activities in this field drive the demand for fecal extraction systems.
Rise in the adoption of precision medicine: Precision medicine aims to provide personalized treatments based on an individual’s unique genetic, environmental, and microbial characteristics. Fecal extraction systems play a vital role in the collection of fecal samples for microbiome analysis, supporting the integration of microbiome data into precision medicine approaches. The increasing adoption of precision medicine contributes to the demand for fecal extraction systems.
Supportive reimbursement policies: Reimbursement policies play a significant role in the adoption of medical devices and diagnostic tests. Favorable reimbursement policies for fecal extraction systems and associated tests encourage healthcare providers and laboratories to incorporate these systems into their diagnostic workflows, driving market growth.

Market Insights:
By assay, the calprotectin segment dominated the global market in 2020
The global faecal extraction systems market is bifurcated into assay, indication, analysis tests, end-use, and geography. On the basis of the assay, the market is further segmented into calprotectin, albumin, hemoglobin, bile acids, and others. The calprotectin segment dominated the global market in 2020 and is expected to grow at the same trend over the forecast period. The increasing number of cases of inflammatory bowel disease around the world is a primary factor to drive the segment growth. On the flip side, the hemoglobin segment is accounted to grow at the fastest growth rate over the forecast period due to the increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer, higher risk adenoma, and IBD.
