The anticipated rise in the elderly population stands as a driving force behind the growth of the antispasmodic drug market. Individuals aged 65 and above, often grappling with various physical and psychological health challenges, find relief in antispasmodic drugs to manage symptoms linked to conditions causing muscle spasms or cramping. These drugs also prove beneficial for ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), interstitial cystitis, and uterine cramping. In October 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) projected a substantial increase in the global population aged 60 and above, expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and double to 2.1 billion by 2050. This demographic shift, including a significant rise in those aged 80 or older, estimated to reach 426 million by 2050, underscores the impetus driving the antispasmodic drug market linked to an expanding elderly populace.

The rising incidence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is anticipated to drive the growth of the antispasmodics drugs market in the future. IBS is a prevalent digestive disorder characterized by a collection of symptoms affecting the large intestine (colon), causing discomfort and disrupting normal digestive function. Antispasmodic medications are utilized in the treatment of IBS to target and relieve muscle spasms and cramps in the gastrointestinal tract, providing relief from abdominal pain and discomfort for patients. For example, in June 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US federal agency, reported that the estimated prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the U.S. ranges from 2.4 to 3.1 million, with variations in impact among different demographics. Additionally, according to Oxford University Press, a UK publishing company, approximately 322,600 Canadians were estimated to be living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in 2023. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is fueling the growth of the antispasmodics drugs market.
