Gastroparesis Drugs Global Market Report 2024

The gastroparesis drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.09 billion in 2023 to $5.39 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to gastrointestinal motility research, side effects of existing treatments, clinical need, regulatory support, and patient advocacy.

The gastroparesis drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period is linked to the heightened occurrence of diabetes, the aging demographic, heightened awareness and diagnosis rates, augmented healthcare spending, and support from both governmental and private sectors. Key trends anticipated during this period encompass progressions in gastroenterology, enhancements in diagnostic methodologies, technological breakthroughs, increased research funding, and collaborative research initiatives.

The surge in diabetes prevalence is anticipated to drive the progression of the gastroparesis drugs market in the foreseeable future. Diabetes, characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to insufficient insulin production or its ineffective utilization, persists as a significant health concern. Factors contributing to the escalating diabetes rates include sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, genetic predisposition, urbanization, and aging populations, alongside limited healthcare access and escalating global obesity rates. Gastroparesis drugs are commonly prescribed to diabetic patients to mitigate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and delayed stomach emptying, common complications arising from impaired gastrointestinal motility associated with diabetes. These medications aim to ameliorate gastric function and enhance the quality of life for individuals grappling with diabetes-related gastroparesis. For instance, as reported by the International Diabetes Federation in 2021, the projected number of individuals afflicted by diabetes is anticipated to soar to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Hence, the escalating prevalence of diabetes underscores the expansion 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.

Gastroparesis drugs are medications utilized to handle and address gastroparesis, a condition characterized by delayed emptying of the stomach, leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort. Typically, these medications consist of prokinetics to enhance stomach motility, antiemetics to regulate nausea and vomiting, and drugs to alleviate pain and other associated symptoms.

The primary categories of gastroparesis drugs consist of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and prescription drugs. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are those available for purchase without a prescription from a healthcare provider. These medications are utilized for treating various forms of gastroparesis, including diabetic gastroparesis, post-surgical gastroparesis, idiopathic gastroparesis, among others, and are administered through various routes such as oral ingestion, injection, and others. They encompass various types of drugs such as prokinetic agents, antiemetics, proton pump inhibitors, among others, which are distributed through hospitals, pharmacies, clinics, and online platforms.
