Global Proton Pump Inhibitors Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

Proton Pump Inhibitors Market size was valued US$ 3.0 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ 4.0 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Proton pump initiators (PPIs) are medications that are primarily used to significantly and persistently reduce the levels of stomach acid in people with hyperacidity, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and ulcers.

Market Dynamics

The growth of the market is majorly driven by increasing number of peptic ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems, one of the primary factors driving the acceptance of innovative drug delivery systems. In addition, new product introductions and rising consumer acceptance of novel medicine delivery technologies present market players with enormous development potential.

Increasing prevalence of GERD coupled with novel drug delivery systems are expected to drive market growth

The two main drivers driving the growth of the market are the rising prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the expanding acceptability of innovative medication delivery technologies. Proton pump inhibitors are the gold standard treatments for GERD.

Additionally, the main causes of GERD include risk factors like age, obesity, delayed stomach emptying, changing smoking-related habits, and use of alcohol, coffee, fatty, and fried meals. Furthermore, according to a report by the United Nations titled "World Population Ageing Report, 2020," there were 727 million individuals in the world who were 65 or older as of 2020, and that figure is expected to increase to 1.5 billion by 2050.

Additionally, major industry participants are developing novel products and launching new products to take advantage of market prospects.

Such medicine launches are accelerating the market's expansion.

The side effects associated with the proton pump inhibitors are the major factors hindering the growth of the market

Proton pump inhibitors lead to a risk of Clostridium difficile infection of the colon. Also, the long-term usage of PPI may increase risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Numerous studies have shown that people taking proton pump inhibitors have a higher risk of COVID-19. More than 53,000 users of proton pump inhibitors took part in the study described in the August 2020 article titled "Increased Risk of COVID-19 Among Users of Proton Pump Inhibitors," 3,386 of whom reported having tested positive for COVID-19. Patients undergoing proton-pump inhibitor therapy are encouraged to consume fewer drugs and avoid these medications unless there is an emergency. This factor is expected to impact market growth. Therefore, COVID-19 considerably affects the expansion of the market under investigation.an increase in amputations.
