The anticipated growth of the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) treatment market is driven by the increasing prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder affecting the large intestine, and its rising prevalence is attributed to poor lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, exposure to pollution, and heightened stress levels. Treatment for IBS aims to alleviate symptoms, reduce their severity and frequency, and enhance individuals' ability to manage their conditions effectively. According to the International Foundation for Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD), approximately 5–10% of the global population is expected to have IBS in 2023, with between 25 and 45 million people in the United States affected by the condition. Consequently, the growing prevalence of IBS is a key factor driving the expansion of the IBS treatment market.

The growth of the IBS treatment market is expected to be propelled by the aging population.

As reported in October 2022 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population of individuals aged 60 years and older is rapidly growing and is expected to double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion. Hence, the aging population is a significant driver for the growth of the IBS treatment market.
