Market Overview:
The global constipation laxative market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of constipation, rising awareness about the benefits of using laxatives, and growing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) products. Based on type, the global constipation laxative market is segmented into oral and granule segments. The oral segment is further sub-segmented into stimulant laxatives and osmotic laxatives segments. The stimulant laxatives segment accounted for the majority share of the global constipation laxative market in 2017 owing to their easy availability and low cost as compared to other types of drugs available in this category. However, with increasing concerns about their safety profile, especially among pregnant women and children, this segment is expected to lose its share in favor of osmotic laxatives over the forecast period. Osmotic agents are considered safer than stimulant agents as they do not cause dehydration or electrolyte imbalance like their counterparts do; moreover, they are also effective against resistant cases of constipation .
Product Definition:
A laxative is a medication or other agent that induces bowel movements. Laxatives are used to treat and prevent constipation. They work by increasing the amount of water in the intestine, which stimulates bowel movements.
Oral:
Oral is a drug that is administered by the mouth. It may be used to treat gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, such as diarrhea and constipation. Oral laxatives are usually prescribed for patients who have not been able to take an adequate amount of stool softeners or bulk-forming agents in the form of tablets or capsules. They work by stimulating bowel movements through changes in the nervous system, without any significant change in diet or lifestyle habits of a patient.
Granule:
Granule is a small pellet of excrement which is formed in the colon and passes out with the stool. It usually remains in the stomach for about an hour before it's fully passed into the intestine. Granules are made up of protein, fat, and other ingredients; they may vary from 1 to 5 mm across.
The function of granule is to soften stools so that they can be easily removed from body by bowel movements.
Application Insights:
In 2017, the adult segment held the largest share of more than 60.0% in terms of revenue. The segment is further subdivided into males and females on the basis of application. In developed countries such as U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany etc., constipation is more prevalent among adults as compared to children due to factors such as sedentary lifestyle and improper food habits coupled with physiological changes associated with aging process (i.e.; decrease in gastrointestinal motility). This trend is likely to continue over the forecast period owing to aforementioned factors driving market growth for adult laxatives inclination towards a sedentary lifestyle and improper food habits which may result in constipation or sluggish bowel movements leading to increased usage of laxatives for defecation purposes thus propelling demand globally over the forecast period (2017-2030).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing awareness regarding Constipation Management Disorder (CMD), availability of highly effective and targeted medicines, and presence of a large number of manufacturers in this region.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to rising geriatric population, improving economic conditions, growing health awareness among people, and rapid urbanization & industrialization in emerging countries such as China & India. Moreover, increasing cases of C difficile are also contributing towards regional growth due to which patients require treatment with laxatives thus driving demand for OTC products for constipation management purpose will boost industry growth over the next eight years time frame.
