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.

Pharmaceutical companies are also increasingly using biomarkers in the drug development process to reduce the time taken to bring the product into the market. Biomarkers are biological indicators that are objectively measured and evaluated for biological processes, pathogenic processes, or pharmacological responses to a therapeutic intervention. The cold and cough preparations market is regulated by authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration in the US. For instance, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) restricted the use of codeine in children. Codeine is approved to treat pain and cough but this medicine carries serious risks, including slowed or difficult breathing, and can be potentially fatal. This risk is greater in children younger than 12 years but the use of codeine should also be limited in some older children. Single-ingredient codeine is FDA-approved only for use in adults.

The high cost of smart pills associated with technological advancement will act as a restraint to the market growth. The utilization of advanced technologies including software up-gradation and innovative systems, and the integration of microchips contribute to the high manufacturing costs of the smart pills. Smart pills are a combination of drug and device technology. A smart pill is an innovative method of drug delivery, which involves the use of sensors and cameras embedded into tiny edible devices. Such medical devices ensure better diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment of life-threatening medical conditions by allowing doctors to monitor their patients’ body functions in real-time. However, the high cost of smart pills led to the limited utilization of products in underdeveloped countries. Thus, the high cost is considered as one of the factors that restrain the small pills market growth. Extensive research and development are being carried out on the use of miniature chips such as Addressable Transmitters Operated as Magnetic Spins (ATOMS) which can be used as smart pills. ATOMS are silicon chip devices that use the principle of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine the location of atoms in a patient’s body using magnetic fields. ATOMS can be used in ingestible smart pills to diagnose and treat diseases from within the body. The devices can be used to monitor a patient’s gastrointestinal tract, blood, or brain. They also could measure factors that indicate the health of a patient such as pH, temperature, pressure, and sugar concentrations, and relay that information to doctors. The devices could even be instructed to release drugs. For instance, scientists at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) have developed a miniature medical chip that can be used as a smart pill.

The high incidence of unintended pregnancies is expected to drive the growth of the oral contraceptive pills market over the coming years. Unintended pregnancy is a pregnancy that is always unwanted, such as a pregnancy where no children have been planned. The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) study shows that the rates of unwanted pregnancy and abortion declined substantially when women received a one-year prescription of oral contraceptives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 74 million women living in low-middle-income economies register unplanned pregnancies every year globally. The WHO’s research noticed that 4,794 women had unplanned pregnancies after they had discontinued using contraceptives. Therefore, the need to avoid unintended pregnancies drives the growth of the oral contraceptive pills market.

An oral contraceptive pill is a hormonal procedure to avoid childbirth. The side effects vary between people and the type of pill consumed. Breast tenderness, headaches, spotting, and nausea are some prominent side effects of oral contraceptive pills. Depo-Provera, an implantable contraceptive, is known to provide the most severe side effects. Research has indicated that Depo-Provera and Depo-SubQ Provera 104 can trigger bone mineral density loss. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attached strict notices to the injection kit saying Depo-Provera and Depo-SubQ Provera 104 could not be used for more than 2 years, attributing to their side effects. The notice also suggests that the use of these medications may increase the risk of osteoporosis and bone disorders later in life. Hence, the side effects associated with the use of contraceptive drugs hamper the growth of the oral contraceptive pill market.
