High costs associated with drugs is a major issue faced by citizens of many countries. Pressure to contain costs and demonstrate value is widespread. Political uncertainty and persistent economic stress in numerous countries are calling into question the sustainability of public health care funding. In less wealthy countries, lack of cost-effective drugs has influenced the health conditions of the population and has led to a low average life expectancy. As a result, in countries such as Chad, Macedonia, Serbia, the pharmaceutical companies are faced with the pressure of reducing the price of drugs. The high costs associated with drugs are putting pressure on the revenues of dermatology drugs manufacturers. Drug manufacturing companies are using genome testing (genetic diagnosis) to reduce the time and costs spent in clinical trials. A clinical trial is a complex process and it often takes months for a drug to be available in the market. This deprives patients of cost-effective treatment. Researchers in the Rockefeller University used genomic testing and data analytics to predict the response of psoriasis patients for a given treatment. Genomic testing algorithms collect gene-expression data from skin biopsies and detect activity in 50,000 different genes. This technique can predict the response of a patient with an accuracy of 95% and within 12 weeks, thus saving significant time for clinical trials and the launch of new drugs.

The gastrointestinal drugs market consists of sales of gastrointestinal drugs by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that produce gastrointestinal drugs to treat gastrointestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis, diverticular disease, perianal infections, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. The key gastrointestinal diseases drug categories include Anti-peptic agents (antacids, antagonists, Proton Pump Inhibitors, Sucralfate, and Misoprostol), antiemetics, adsorbents, anticholinergics, opiates, intestinal flora modifiers, emollient/surfactants, hyperosmotic, saline, and simulant/irritant. The main types of gastrointestinal drugs are antacids, antiulcerants, vitamin and minerals, antiobesity, antiemetics and antinauseants and antidiarrhoeals. Antacids are medications that counteract (neutralise) stomach acid to relieve indigestion and heartburn. 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 gastrointestinal drugs market size is expected to grow from $71.85 billion in 2021 to $75.63 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The change in the gastrointestinal 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 gastrointestinal drugs market is expected to reach $105.51 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 8.7%. The aging population profile of most countries will contribute to the growth of the gastrointestinal drugs market. The increase in patient pool due to rising geriatric population globally, will contribute significantly to the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the WHO, by 2030, one in every six people on the planet will be 60 or older. The proportion of the population aged 60 and up will rise from 1 billion in 2020 to 2.2 billion by 2050. This rise in the geriatric population increased the demand for medical care and drove the healthcare expenditure. This will led to increased demand for pharmaceuticals products, significantly impacting market growth during this period. During the forecast period, the growth of the gastrointestinal drugs market will be restrained by patent expiration of branded gastrointestinal drugs. In general, pharmaceutical companies invest a large sum of money in the drug development process and patents. During the patency period, the company holding the patent holds exclusivity for the manufacturing and distribution of drugs. Post expiration of patency, generic versions of the drugs are manufactured by other companies with prices much lower than the original branded drugs. Overall, this will negatively impact the growth of the market in terms of value. Major companies in the gastrointestinal drug industry are investing in making oral capsules of macromolecular drugs for gastrointestinal diseases for making the drug more effective. Macromolecular drugs, such as peptides, proteins, and antibodies, form a new class of drugs which can treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease. These macromolecular drugs are usually injected and only a fraction of the administered dose reaches the disease sites in the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, major companies such as Eli Lilly have been increasingly investing in making oral capsules for macromolecular drugs. The company invested $5 million to enter into a collaboration with Entrega to study the oral delivery of complex molecules, such as peptides to combat gastrointestinal diseases. Major companies in the gastrointestinal drugs market include Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Bayer AG, Abbott Laboratories, Otsuka Holdings Co ltd, Johnson & Johnson, Reckitt Benckiser Group plc, Bausch Health Companies Inc., Sanofi S.A, Procter & Gamble and Daiichi Sankyo Company.
