Market Dynamics: Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities Challenges
Global Antacids market growth is driven by increasing prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux diseases, rising prevalence of heartburn, and increasing awareness about GERD and increasing side-effects related to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Increasing prevalence of GERD is one of the dominating factor propelling the global antacids market. For instance, according to a review article published in the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders in 2014, the prevalence estimates of GERD since 1995, in North America were around 18% to 28%, Europe had 9% to 26%, East Asia had 3% to 8%, Australia had about 12% and 9% to 33% in the Middle East, and 23% in South America. It is also suggested that there was an increase in GERD prevalence since 1995, mainly in North America and East Asia.
Rising prevalence of heartburn is expected to boost the market over the period of forecast. According to the American college of gastroenterology, more than 60 million Americans will experience heartburn at least once a month and more than 15 million Americans experience heartburn symptoms every day.
Increasing awareness about GERD is expected to boost the market. For instance, the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders has provided the information and support regarding GERDin the 19th Annual GERD Awareness Week, which was in November 2018. Also, it helps in educating individuals related to GERD and supports research regarding treatments and cures for GI disorders.
However, alternative treatment for antacids and increased side-effects related to antacids are hampering the market. For instance, alternative treatments which are likely to restrict the market for antacids include acupuncture, melatonin, hypnotherapy, herbal remedies, baking soda and lifestyle changes. Also, side effects related to antacids include dose-dependent rebound hyperacidity, milk-alkali syndrome, aluminium intoxication, osteomalacia, and hypophosphatemia are restraining the market growth.
