Reflux Esophagitis (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease):Market View

This report provides a data-driven overview of the current and future competitive landscape in Reflux Esophagitis (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) Therapeutics.

In 2025, there were 308.98 million 12- month total diagnosed prevalent cases of GERD in the 16 countries covered in GlobalData's epidemiology forecast.

The management of GERD typically includes a mix of lifestyle adjustments, medication-based treatments, and, in certain cases, surgical or procedural options. Key therapy classes showing this effect include PPIs, histamine H2 receptor (HRH2) antagonists, and dopamine receptor antagonists. P-CABs, a novel class of highly effective acid-suppressing drugs, are now emerging as a preferred option in several major Asian markets.

The GERD pipeline holds 62 molecules, with five assets in the pre-registration stage, eight assets in Phase III development, and four assets in Phase II development.

Over the past decade, 1,281 clinical trials have been conducted in GERD. The year with the most studies initiated was 2024, with 225 trials, followed by 2021 with 162 trials.

Over the past decade, acquisitions accounted for the largest share of deals in North America (50%), Europe (65%), APAC (57.9%), and Africa (57.1%). In South America, acquisitions, asset transactions, and licensing agreements contributed equally (33.3% each).

The consensus from PMR is that the treatment landscape is converging globally on PPIs + P-CABs for pharmacological management, with meaningful market differences in P-CAB access. PPIs are still considered the first-line therapy, before escalating to P-CABs or surgical/endoscopic options.
