This Gastroparesis Drugs market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The gastroparesis drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.39 billion in 2024 to $5.73 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to side effects of existing treatments, gastrointestinal motility research, clinical need, patient advocacy, and regulatory support.

The gastroparesis drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.2 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of diabetes, the aging population, rising awareness and diagnosis rates, increase in healthcare expenditure, and government and private funding. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in gastroenterology, improved diagnostic techniques, technological innovations, research funding, and collaborative research efforts.

The growing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the expansion of the gastroparesis drugs market. Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or the body's inability to effectively use insulin. The rise in diabetes cases is attributed to factors such as sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, genetic predisposition, urbanization, aging populations, limited healthcare access, and increasing obesity rates globally. Gastroparesis drugs are commonly prescribed to diabetic patients to alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and delayed gastric emptying - gastrointestinal issues that are frequent complications of diabetes. These medications aim to improve gastric motility and enhance the quality of life for those with diabetes-related gastroparesis. For example, in March 2024, according to the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities, a UK-based government department, between March 2022 and March 2023, the percentage of individuals with type 1 diabetes receiving all eight recommended care processes increased by 22%, while for type 2 diabetes, the increase was 21%. Additionally, the percentage of individuals achieving target HbA1c levels rose to 37.9%, the highest ever reported by the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). Therefore, the rising prevalence of diabetes is contributing to the growth of the gastroparesis drugs market.

Major players in the gastroparesis drugs sector are directing their efforts towards introducing innovative medications, such as the Gimoti (metoclopramide) nasal spray, to enhance their market competitiveness. Gimoti (metoclopramide) nasal spray is a pharmaceutical designed to alleviate symptoms of gastroparesis in adults, fostering stomach emptying by bolstering gastrointestinal motility. By circumventing the gastrointestinal tract, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the nasal mucosa. For example, in April 2022, Evoke Pharma Inc., a pharmaceutical company based in the United States, disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted GIMOTI (metoclopramide) nasal spray new drug product exclusivity. This exclusivity affords Evoke exclusive marketing privileges for three years following the initial approval date, as per the Hatch-Waxman Act, shielding the product from generic competition.

In June 2022, Eagle Pharmaceuticals Inc., a pharmaceutical firm headquartered in the United States, completed the acquisition of Acacia Pharma Group plc for $102 million (€94.7 million). Through this acquisition, Eagle Pharmaceuticals intends to broaden its range of offerings by integrating Acacia's FDA-approved hospital products, BARHEMSYS and BYFAVO, which cater to unmet clinical demands in acute care environments. Acacia Pharma Group plc, based in the United Kingdom, specializes in providing antiemetic medications utilized in gastroparesis treatment.
