The weakened digestive system leads to digestive distress, gas, nausea, bloating, decreased stomach acid, and allergic reactions accompanied by diarrhea and vomiting. For instance, the digestive enzyme bromelain causes thinning of the blood and increases the risk of excess bleeding. The thinning of the blood is the result of the anti-platelet activity caused by the drug. Thus, the side effects caused by the excess and continuous intake of digestive enzymes negatively impact the growth of the digestive enzymes market. The companies in the digestive enzymes market are investing in developing customized digestive enzymes. These customized digestive enzymes are condition-specific enzymes to support digestion for digestive sensitive patients and may contain multiple enzymes in the same product. The companies involved in manufacturing digestive enzymes are developing customized digestive enzymes to ease the digestion of different types of food. For instance, Sabinsa, a USA-based provider of herbal extracts, cosmeceuticals, minerals, and dietary supplements, formulated DigeZyme. DigeZyme is a multi-enzyme complex comprising five different enzymes, namely, cellulase, lactase, amylase, lipase, and protease. It is widely used by people who have difficulty in digesting carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, respectively. The companies are increasingly investing in developing customized digestive enzymes. In January 2020, Nestlé, a Switzerland-based food and drink processing corporation, entered into an asset purchase agreement with Allergan, an Ireland-based pharmaceutical company that acquires, develops, and markets brand name drugs, to acquire Zenpep for an amount undisclosed. Through the acquisition, Nestle aims to expand its medical nutrition portfolio by including Zenpep products to support food ingestion, digestion, and absorption. Zenpep is a medication for people who cannot digest food properly due to the lack of digestive enzymes. North America was the largest region in the digestive enzymes market in 2022.

The pesticides and other agricultural chemicals refer to agricultural and household pest control chemicals (except fertilizers) used to control pests and weeds in farmlands. These are used to protect plants against pests, kill weeds and bugs, and get rid of diseases. The main types of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals are herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, other types of pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals. Herbicides are chemicals that are used to control undesirable vegetation. Herbicide application occurs in row-crop farming, where they are applied before or during planting to maximize crop productivity by minimizing other vegetation. The origin is synthetic and bio-based. The applications involved are grains and cereals, pulses and oilseeds, commercial crops, fruits and vegetables, and other applications. The global pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market is segmented - 1) By Type: Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides, Other Pesticide and Other Agricultural Chemicals 2) By Origin: Synthetic, Bio-Based 3) By Application: Grains and Cereals, Pulses and Oilseeds, Commercial Crops, Fruits and Vegetables, Other Applications The global pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market grew from $90.5 billion in 2022 to $98.42 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. 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 pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market is expected to grow to $139.42 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.1%. The world population is growing and is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. This is expected to significantly boost the pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market during the forecast period. An increase in the population creates more demand for food. Crop production, farming activities, and trade volumes will have to increase to meet the increased population. Additionally, farmers and commercial farming companies will increase acquisitions of arable land to increase crop production. This is expected to increase the demand for insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides in the forecast period. Major companies in the pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market include Syngenta AG, Bayer AG, Marubeni, Corteva Inc., Nutrien Ltd., FMC Corp, BASF SE, Adama Agricultural Solutions, Nufarm Limited, and Reckitt Benckiser Group plc. The rising demand for organic food products is expected to negatively impact the pesticide market during the forecast period. Organic food products are derived through a farming system that avoids the use of pesticides and other artificial additives. For instance, according to the Organic Trade Association, a North American business association for the organic industry, the organic food sales in the United States increased by 12.8% in 2020 to a new high of $56.4 billion. This rise in demand for organic products is likely to restrain the pesticides and other agricultural chemicals market during the forecast period. Toxicologists globally are adopting nanotechnology in the development of new, environmentally friendly insecticides. Nanoparticles have revolutionized the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Pesticidal nanoformulations are ultrafine particles with enhanced permeability, stability, and solubility. Most engineers believe that nanotechnology can help make insecticides much safer. Nano-sized insecticides can be sprayed in lesser amounts on agricultural fields in comparison with conventional forms. For example, Lansiumamide B (antibacterial) is formulated as a nanocapsule to treat tobacco bacterial wilt. Thiamethoxam (insecticide) is sprayed as nanoscaled fiber, and Deltamethrin (insecticide) is formulated as a lipid nanoparticle.

The anti-infective drugs market consists of sales of branded and generic anti-infective drugs and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that manufacture branded or generic anti-infective drugs to treat microbial infections. The anti-infective drugs industry includes establishments that manufacture antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, anti-viral drugs to treat viral infections, anti-fungal drugs to treat fungal infections, anti-helminthic drugs to kill internal parasites, and antiprotozoal agents to treat protozoan infections. The main types of anti-infective drugs are antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and others (anthelminthic, antiprotozoal). Antibiotics are drugs that either kill or slow the growth of bacteria. The drugs are administered through oral, parenteral, and others that are classified into branded and generic drugs. The various mode of purchase includes prescription-based drugs and over-the-counter drugs which are distributed by hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies/ drug stores, and others. The global anti-infective drugs market size is expected to decline from $220.0 billion in 2021 to $246.80 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The change in the anti-infective drugs market growth trend is mainly due to the companies stabilizing their output after catering to the demand that grew exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The anti-infective drugs market is expected to reach $614.29 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 25.6%. The anti-infective drugs market is expected to benefit from the latest developments in drug discovery procedures such as stem cells and organ-on-chip (OOC) technologies. OOCs are micro-engineered biometric systems that simulate the activities, mechanics and physiological responses of organ systems. Drug trial processes such as target identification, validation, and screening are being executed through OOC and stem cell technologies. These technologies are considerably reducing the drug discovery costs and generating reliable predictions on drug efficiency and human safety. Another area of development is physiology-simulation modelling, in which the integrated physiology of the human organism, in both health and disease, is simulated through a computer program. Eli Lilly and Pfizer have adopted Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) platform to conduct simulation models in early stages of the drug discovery process that are operational within hours, whereas traditional models take weeks to conduct simulations. The wide adoption of these technologies is expected to drive the anti-infective drugs market in the forecast period. The anti-infective drugs market is expected to be restrained by the increasing number of antimicrobial resistance cases due to growing ineffectiveness of conventional anti-infective drugs such as penicillin. Antimicrobial resistance is the final stage of the adaptation process of microorganisms such as bacteria to the environment developing the ability to resist the effects of anti-infective drugs. This is mainly caused by the overuse and misuse of anti-infective drugs such as antibiotics. The excessive use and misuse of anti-infective drugs increases the rate of the bacteria’s resistance, with an estimated 70% of bacteria ever discovered already being resistant to at least one anti-infective drug which was commonly used to treat them in the past. It is expected that deaths caused by antimicrobial resistance will rise to 10 million deaths by 2050. Increasing incidences of bacteria’s resistance to anti-infective drugs are expected to limit the use of anti-infective drugs, affecting the market’s growth. Anti-infective drug manufacturers are investing in programs to develop drugs to treat drug resistant infections. Antimicrobial resistance is a serious concern to global public health as it resulted in long duration of illness, the requirement of additional tests and use of more expensive drugs. Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi change and adapted to drugs when they are exposed to antimicrobial drugs such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, anthelmintics and others. According to World Health Organization (WHO), globally 4, 80,000 people are being affected by multi-drug resistant TB each year and drug resistance is starting to complicate the treatment of malaria and HIV as well. Companies are investing in developing the new drug candidates to treat drug-resistant infections. For instance, in 2019, the antibacterial agents imipenem, cilastatin and relebactam combination, pretomanid, lefamulin, and cefiderocol was approved by the US FDA in the field of resistant bacteria treatment for specific indications. Major companies in the anti-infective drugs market include Gilead Sciences, GlaxosmithKline, Merck & Co, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer Inc., AbbVie, Bayer AG, Mylan N.V., Shionogi and F.
