Omeprazole And Antihistamine Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Omeprazole and Antihistamine Market Analysis

The Omeprazole And Antihistamine Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period.

Factors such as the growing prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), increasing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) medications, and rising awareness about the benefits of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are expected to fuel market growth. For instance, in August 2022, a research study published in Springer Nature stated that GERD was one of the most widespread gastrointestinal conditions, affecting 20% of adults in Western societies.

Males tend to have GERD at a slightly higher rate than females. In contrast to males, who are more expected to have erosive esophagitis, females who have GERD symptoms are more likely to have non-erosive reflux disease. Thus, the increasing prevalence of GERD is expected to increase the demand for PPI-based drugs. PPIs are the preferred medications because they prevent the stomach parietal cells from producing acid, which lessens the acid's ability to irritate the esophagus.

Similarly, increasing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) medications is expected to fuel the growth of the market studied during the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by Bloomberg LP in July 2022, Americans spent an average cost of USD 1,300 per person on prescription drugs per year.

Therefore, the high burden of GERD among the population and the rising demand for over-the-counter drugs in the market are anticipated to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, side effects associated with PPIs and increasing competition from generic drugs are expected to hinder market growth.
