Chronic Idiopathic Constipation Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034


The 7 major chronic idiopathic constipation markets reached a value of US$ 6.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 10.7 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.91% during 2024-2034.

The chronic idiopathic constipation market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Chronic Idiopathic Constipation Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) is a type of functional bowel disorder that persists for several months or longer without an apparent underlying cause. This condition is majorly associated with a negative impact on the patient's quality of life, affecting social and professional well-being. The common symptoms of CIC include constipation or difficulty passing stools, straining while defecating, hard and lumpy stools, a feeling of incomplete evacuation following completion, abdominal pain, discomfort, and bloating, excessive flatulence, poorer physical functioning, a decreased perception of health, etc. The diagnosis of this ailment involves a combination of an in-depth medical history, an evaluation of clinical features, and a physical exam. Numerous imaging studies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and anal manometry, are also recommended to confirm a diagnosis. The healthcare provider may perform a colonoscopy, which involves the insertion of a long, flexible tube (colonoscope) into the rectum to visualize the possible cause of the patient's symptoms.

The rising prevalence of numerous associated risk factors, such as reduced colon motility, inadequate fluid and fiber intake in the diet, unhealthy lifestyle habits, pelvic floor dysfunction, etc., is primarily driving the chronic idiopathic constipation market. Furthermore, the increasing cases of visceral sensory abnormalities or alterations in the enteric nervous system that decrease rectal sensation and the need to defecate are also augmenting the market growth. In addition to this, the inflating utilization of wireless capsule endoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic procedure that helps determine gastrointestinal motility, gastric emptying, colonic and small bowel transit, as well as whole gut transit times, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of stimulant laxatives, including bisacodyl and sodium picosulfate, since they decrease water absorption, stimulate intestinal motility directly, and release prostaglandins that aid in the acceleration of intestinal transit is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the emerging popularity of sacral nerve stimulation to stabilize the normal functioning of the bowel and sphincter muscles in patients who are refractory to pharmacotherapy is expected to drive the chronic idiopathic constipation market in the coming years.
