Gastrointestinal Therapeutics Market size is expected to register notable growth between 2024 and 2032, owing to the increasing demand for new therapies for a variety of complex gastrointestinal issues. These include diarrheal disorders, motility disorders, IBD, constipation, iatrogenic diseases like visceral pain, GERD, and other esophageal diseases. As per NIH, in 2021, a multinational study conducted by the American Gastroenterological Association on 73,076 respondents, over 40% of people worldwide had Functional Gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), which significantly affected their healthcare usage and quality of life.
The high prevalence rate associated with these diseases has encouraged pharmaceutical manufacturers globally to undertake R&D initiatives and introduce novel therapies, including targeted drugs and biologics, to aid the rising disease burden. Besides, the escalating drug development projects and subsequent regulatory approvals will contribute positive outcomes for theindustry.
The ongoing Russia-Ukraine disturbances and heightening inflation across major economies may limit R&D expenditure, thus, resulting in sluggish industry revenue. Additionally, the declining economic expansion may reduce people’s healthcare spending, further impeding market performance over the forthcoming years.
The genetic segment is estimated to account for a lucrative industry share by 2032, mainly attributed to an increase in the approval of generic drugs for the treatment of GI disorders across various regions.
In May 2023, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and VectivBio Holding AG, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company introducing novel, transformational therapies for severe rare GI conditions, entered into a definitive agreement for Ironwood to acquire latter company for $17.00.
