Antacids Market to Expand with Significant CAGR by 2025
The global Antacids Market has been displaying steady growth, and going forward it is likely to remain this way. The growth of the antacids market is primarily driven by changing dietary habits and growing geriatric population worldwide. The intake of medication for health conditions and increasing incidence of gastro esophageal reflux diseases generally among geriatrics is driving the demand for antacids among this population. For instance, the highest proportion of geriatrics in Japan in 2014, as per statistics of the World Bank is acting in favor of the Asia Pacific antacids market. The trend of self-medication for occasional heartburn and acidity and the easy availability of antacids over the counter is also driving the sales of antacids.
Providing headwinds to the market is serious side effects associated with the prolonged use of antacids such as proton pump inhibitors and H2 antagonists and the rising popularity of generic drugs in underdeveloped and developing countries. A report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), estimates the global antacids market will clock a 3.7% CAGR between 2017 and 2025, for the market to become worth US$18.7 bn by the end of 2025.
The global antacids market could be segregated according to drug class, formulation type, distribution channel, and region. The leading segment for each category that could create ample opportunities for market players are studied as well in this report. On the basis of drug class, the market could be classified into proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonist, and acid neutralizers. Amongst all, proton pump inhibitors led the market in 2016 and the trend is anticipated to continue over the forecast period. This is mainly because of their efficacy and easy availability as prescription and over the counter drugs as affordable price. However, acid neutralizers are expected to emerge as a significant segment on the back of their extensive use for occasional heartburn and acidity and due to their availability in a range of formulations and flavors.
