Global Dyspepsia Drugs Market - 2023-2030

Global Dyspepsia Drugs Market - 2023-2030

Global Dyspepsia Drugs Market reached US$ YY million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Dyspepsia also referred as indigestion that casues discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, often after eating or drinking. It is not a disease but symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions.

Dyspepsia is a combination of symptoms caused by a variety of underlying reasons such as excessive stomach acid production, gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and lifestyle factors such as dietary intake and stress.

The aging global population, as well as changing food and lifestyle trends, all contribute to an increase in dyspeptic symptoms, propelling market growth. Technological advances in drug research, particularly in the Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) category, have resulted in novel and very effective dyspepsia treatments. Furthermore, the shift toward over-the-counter (OTC) dyspepsia medications provides consumers with easy and readily available solutions.

Market Dynamics: Drivers and Restraints

The increasing preference for OTC drugs for dyspepsia treatment

Over-the-counter (OTC) dyspepsia drugs are non-prescription medications that are readily available in retail outlets such as pharmacies and are designed to alleviate symptoms of dyspepsia such as abdominal discomfort and bloating. The growing popularity of over-the-counter dyspepsia medications has pushed pharmaceutical companies.

Proton pump inhibitors are the mostly used drugs to treat dyspepsia. For instance, according to the Drug Watch 2023 article, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most commonly used drugs in the world. Almost 15 million people in the U.S. use PPIs every year.

Furthermore, many pharmaceutical companies are launching the OTC drugs for dyspepsia. For instance, in January 2022, Glenmark USA acquired ANDAS for four OTC drugs such as famotidine, cetirizine, hydrochloride, lansoprazole from Wockhardt. These OTC drugs are specifically used to treat indigestion, heartburn, anti-allergy, and acid reflux.

Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of dyspepsia, aging population, growing awareness of gastrointestinal health and changing lifestyles and dietary habits are some of the other major factors that are expected to drive the global dyspepsia drugs market over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics: Restraint

The side effects associated with dyspepsia drugs is one major factor to restrain the market. Some of the dyspepsia drugs, especially those that reduce stomach acid production, may cause headaches, diarrhea and nausea.

Furthermore, the availability of alternative treatment options can affect the market growth. Those individuals with dyspepsia may prefer alternative treatment such as herbal medicines, dietary modifications, or lifestyle changes over pharmaceutical treatments. These alternative approaches have the potential to draw patients away from standard pharmacological treatments, thereby affecting the market's growth potential over the forecast period.

Segment Analysis

The global dyspepsia drugs is segmented based on disease type, drug type, route of administration, mode, distribution channel and region.

The proton pump inhibitor segment accounted for approximately 38.2 % of the market share

The proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) from the product type segment accounted for 38.2% and it is expected to be dominated during the forecast period. The proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are considered as first line treatment for for functional dyspepsia. PPIs are among the strongest drugs available for gastric suppression that improves functional dyspepsia.

Furthermore, according to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde 2022 article, PPIs stands second in most commonly prescribed drug class with almost 1.5 million prescriptions issued yearly by primary care alone. Among these drug class, omeprazole and lansoprazole are higly preferred choice for adults. Also, its availability at OTC makes this drug class a preferred choice for individuals suffering from dyspepsia.

The cost-effectiveness and broad availability of medications like omeprazole, a typical proton pump inhibitor (PPI), increase their popularity among both patients and healthcare practitioners. Omeprazole's modest cost, around $100.37 for 100 capsules, enables accessibility for a wide range of people, particularly those without complete health insurance coverage. Thus, owing to the above factors the segment is expected to dominate over the forecast period.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 37.4% of the market share in 2022

North America is estimated to hold about 37.4% of the total market share throughout the forecast period, owing to the increasing product approvals, rising geriatric population, collaboration with the key players, and others that will drive this region further during the forecast period.

For instance, in March 2023, Marksans Pharma Ltd obtained final approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its generic version of Famotidine tablets, which are used to treat acid indigestion and heartburn. The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has approved an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for Famotidine tablets in strengths of 10 mg and 20 mg for over-the-counter (OTC) usage.

Furthermore, the increasing geriatric population in U.S. is major factor in driving the market forwards. Dyspepsia is more common in elderly people, as it decreases in the production of digestive juices (such as bile, saliva, gastric juice, and enzymes). For instance, according to United States Census Bureau 2023 report, in U.S. older population aging 65 and above has reached about 55.8 million or 16.8%, as it has grown nearly five times faster than the total population over 100 years. Thus, as the age increases the probability of having dyspepsia grows, thereby driving the region market forward over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Covid 19 had a substantial impact on the global dyspepsia drugs market, as it is a stress-sensitive gut-brain condition, and the COVID-19 epidemic has caused significant anxiety and stress. A population-based survey was conducted to assess the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms of FD. According to the survey, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on FD/IBS individuals, with respondents indicating FD-IBS overlap syndrome as the most important independent factor linked with worsening gastrointestinal symptoms.

Moreover, a clinical trial is ongoing to look into the effect of COVID-19 infection on the symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD). The study's goal is to see if COVID-19 infection causes FD or worsens the symptoms of pre-existing FD. The trial is prospective observational research in which patients with FD and COVID-19 infection will be included. The researchers will evaluate the severity of FD symptoms before and after COVID-19 infection in a control group of FD patients who did not develop COVID-19.

Competitive Landscape

The major global players in the dyspepsia drugs market include Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Sanofi, Haleon plc., Procter & Gamble, Abbott, Pfizer Inc., Woodward Pharma Services LLC, Lannett Company, Inc., ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc and among others.
