Global Gastrointestinal Drug Market to 2022 - Pipeline Characterized by Emerging Biologic Therapies, While TNF Inhibitors and PPIs Continue to Dominate Therapy Landscape

Summary

Disease and disorders involving the gastrointestinal system are among the most common conditions encountered worldwide, and many of them can have a significant impact on quality of life. The direct and indirect socio-economic burden associated with gastrointestinal disorders is profound. The direct costs of medical consultations and treatments in the US for gastroesophageal reflux disease alone are estimated to amount to $9.3 billion, while the indirect costs due to absenteeism and impairment in work performance total $75 billion (Chait, 2010).

Despite the significant global socio-economic burden, many gastrointestinal disorders are still poorly understood, and there is a significant unmet need for novel, safe and effective therapies, as treatment options are often lacking, causing many patients to be dissatisfied with their treatment. The unmet need and demand for better treatments and the high prevalence of digestive conditions make the gastrointestinal market an attractive candidate for therapeutic development.

This report covers all gastrointestinal disorders, but there is a particular focus on three key diseases: gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. The global gastrointestinal market was valued at $35.7 billion in 2015 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.45%, reaching $48.4 billion in 2022. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- inhibitors generate the largest revenues and continue to retain commercial prominence. Key drivers of market growth will be the uptake of recently approved premium products, rising prevalence, and promising late-stage products, including a number of biologic therapies that are expected to be highly valuable.
