Irritable bowel syndrome is a gastrointestinal tract disorder characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. It hampers the natural movement of intestinal muscle linings to move food along the digestive tract. Depending on the symptoms, the syndrome is distinguished as mild and severe irritable bowel syndrome. These symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating and gas, mucus in the stool, constipation, and diarrhea. Exact cause of occurrence of irritable bowel syndrome is unknown though, it is associated with increased awareness of bodily functions, and abnormal gastrointestinal tract movements. Diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome is done by tests such as blood tests, stool tests, endoscopic procedures, and external imaging procedures. Patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome may experience complications namely, deep ulcerations, infections, malnutrition, and bowel obstructions.

The global irritable bowel syndrome treatment market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,444.7 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Global Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 can affect the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Egypt, and others, are facing problems with regards to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) treatment market, owing to the increased stress, abdominal pain, diarrhea in patients infected with COVID-19 infection. For instance, according to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, providing access to biomedical and genomic information, in February 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic is reported to increase psychological distress and

Global Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment Market: Key Developments

In April 2022, Ardelyx, a biopharmaceutical company, announced the launch of IBSRELA, the first and only NHE3 inhibitor for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) in adults. IBSRELA is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved product for Ardelyx.

In March 2022, Indegene, a technology-led healthcare solutions provider, and metaMe Health, a Prescription Digital Therapeutics (PDT) company and developer of Regulora, partnered to bring Regulora to market for the treatment of abdominal pain due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Global Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment Market: Restraint

The major factors that hinder growth of the global irritable bowel syndrome treatment market include side effects of the drugs. For instance, Eluxadoline, a mixed mu-opioid receptor agonist, used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea can cause pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas which can be serious and more common in certain individuals.

Key Players

Major players operating in the global irritable bowel syndrome treatment market include Abbott, Synergy Pharma, Mallinckrodt, Bausch Health Companies Inc., Ardelyx, Astellas Pharma Inc., Novartis AG, GSK plc., Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited.
