Threat from substitute products such as generic and counterfeit drugs is significantly restraining the global cold and cough preparations market. Pharmaceutical companies invest a large sum of money in the drug development process. Once a drug candidate is developed and approved by the regulatory authorities, companies patent their inventions to protect their intellectual property. During the patency period, the company holding the patent holds exclusivity for manufacturing and distribution. Post expiration of patency, generic versions of the drugs is manufactured by other companies. The prices of the generics are very low in comparison to the original brand of the drug. According to an article by Alpha InvesCo., a new FDA-approved blockbuster drug that netted $100 million a year in profit during its patent protection duration could become one that earns only $1 million a year in profit overnight after losing its patent. Additionally, there is a major international problem with counterfeit drugs. The best of these counterfeits duplicates a real drug’s formula and sells it at a lower price, which hurts pharmaceutical companies' profits. Moreover, counterfeits made with low-grade materials can destroy the reputations of legitimate products, thus affecting the growth of the market. Advancements in technologies are driving the global pharmaceutical sector including cold and cough preparations. According to a global life sciences report by Deloitte, the adoption of AI, robotic automation, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), blockchain, DIY diagnostics, virtual care, mobility in drug delivery and clinical trials, genomics, next-generation therapies, cloud computing, Real-World Evidence (RWE), and data-driven precision medicine are the major technologies driving the life sciences sector.

The antacids drugs refer to the drugs that are used to neutralize stomach acid, and treat acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion. Antacids are medications that counteract (neutralise) your stomach's acid to ease heartburn and indigestion. They are available without a prescription from pharmacies and stores and come in liquid or chewable tablet form. It includes drug classes such as proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, surgical simulators, and acid neutralizers in the form of tablets, liquid, or powder. The main classes of antacids are proton pump inhibitors, H2 antagonists, acid neutralizers, and pro-motility agents. Proton-pump inhibitors are a type of drug that reduces stomach acid production significantly and for a long time. They accomplish this by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase proton pump in the stomach in an irreversible manner. The different types of formulations include tablets, liquids, powders, and others and are distributed through various channels such as hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and others. The global antacids market is segmented – 1) Drug Class: Proton Pump Inhibitors, H2 Antagonist, Acid Neutralizers, Pro-Motility Agents 2) Distribution Channel: Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, Other Distribution Channels 3) By Formulation Type: Tablet, Liquid, Powder, Other Formulation Types The global antacids market size will grow from $9.19 billion in 2022 to $9.56 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the global antacids is expected to grow to $10.65 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 2.7%. Poor lifestyle choices resulting in a higher prevalence of acidity are an important driver for the growth of the antacids market. Poor lifestyle choices involve deskbound jobs, poor quality of sleep, and irregular dietary habits, which result in an increase in the acidity level of the stomach and lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Antacids containing aluminum hydroxide may also cause side effects such as constipation, aluminum-intoxication, osteomalacia, and hypophosphatemia. In addition, antacids when consumed with other acidic drugs might lead to absorption of both the drugs resulting in reduced efficiency of both the drugs. Mouth-melting antacid is an emerging trend in the antacid market. Antacids were available in tablet, liquid, and powder form until now, however, researchers have now come up with mouth-melting antacids which are made up of micro-mouth melting granules that easily melt in the mouth. These granules present in the antacids act in the form of effervescent. An example of a mouth-melting instant relief antacid is Sunpharma's 'Pepmelt', which integrates the effects of herbal constituents present in it with the contemporary mouth-melting technology. The manufacturers of antacids in the USA need to comply with CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 laid down by the FDA. According to these regulations, an over-the-counter (OTC) antacid product in a form suitable for oral administration is recognized as safe and effective only if it meets the conditions related to active ingredients established by the regulatory body.

Anemia and Other Blood Disorder Drugs refer to the medications or drugs that are used to treat anemia and other blood disorder diseases. It refers to a blood condition that develops when a medication prompts the body's immune system to begin attacking its own red blood cells. Hemolysis, a process that causes red blood cells to degrade earlier than usual, is brought on by this. The main types of anemia and other blood disorder drugs are iron deficiency anemia, chronic kidney disease anemia, sickle cell anemia, and aplastic anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is a common kind of anemia in which the blood does not contain enough healthy red blood cells. The oxygen-carrying red blood cells transport oxygen to the body's cells. The different types of anemia include microcytic (Low MCV), normocytic (Normal MCV), and macrocytic (High MCV) and involve various routes of administration such as oral, and injectable. It is distributed through hospitals pharmacies, online pharmacies, and pharmacy. The global anemia and other blood disorder drugs market is segmented – 1) By Type: Iron Deficiency Anemia, Chronic Kidney Disease Anemia, Sickle Cell Anemia, Aplastic Anemia 2) By Distribution Channel: Hospitals Pharmacy, Online Pharmacy, Pharmacy 3) By Route of Administration: Oral, Injectable 4) By Anemia Type: Microcytic (Low MCV), Normocytic (Normal MCV), Macrocytic (High MCV) The global anemia and other blood disorder drugs market size will grow from $11.14 billion in 2022 to $11.87 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of the global anemia and other blood disorder drugs is expected to grow to $14.80 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.7%. The increasing prevalence of anemia among the global population acts as a strong driving factor for the market. Unhealthy lifestyles, changing dietary habits and increased stress levels increased the cases of anemia worldwide. For instance, anemia was found to be the most frequent disease in the elderly population (> 65 years of age), reaching a prevalence rate of around 17%. the World Bank reported that anemia is the 8th leading cause of disease among women and the young population. Growth in the prevalence rate of anemia drives the anemia and other blood disorder drugs market. Major players in the anemia and other blood disorder drugs market are Amgen Inc., GlaxoSmithKline PLC., Akebia Therapeutics, Bayer AG, Pfizer Inc., Regenbiopharma, Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Merck Sharp &Dohme Corp., Novartis AG and Janssen Pharmaceutical. There has been an increase in the use of biologics for treating anemia and other blood disorders. Biologics are composed of protein, sugar, nucleic acids, or a combination of these substances or might be derived from living organisms like humans, animals, or microorganisms or that may contain components of living organisms. The growth in the use of biologics over the drugs restricts the market resulting in the decline of the number of drugs being used for the treatment of anemia& other blood disorders. For example, Hospira, a medical device and pharmaceutical company, submitted its first biologics license application to FDA for the approval of a drug that treats anemia. Moreover, the FDA approved the first Epoetin Alfa biosimilar for the treatment of anemia caused by chronic kidney disease, chemotherapy, or the use of zidovudine in patients with HIV infection. The increase in the use of biologics will hamper the growth of the anemia and other blood disorder drugs market. Companies in the anemia and other blood disorder drugs market are collaborating with other companies to develop and commercialize a specific kind of drug by sharing the knowledge, technology, and cost. Such collaborations are also helpful to the companies in case of expiring licenses and a stringent regulatory environment.
