Gastrointestinal (GI) drugs are medications used to treat gastrointestinal problems such as heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Peptic ulcers that often occur due to certain medications used in lupus treatment, including NSAIDs and steroids. Chronic GI complication affects stomach, large intestine, and rectum, small intestine, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, showing the symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, bloating, and constipation among others.

The highly prevailing GI complications create a vast demand for Gastrointestinal Drugs. As a result, the market for GI drugs is growing pervasively. Over the past few years, many breakthrough drug discoveries have taken places which are escalating the Gastrointestinal Drugs Market on the global heights.

The emergence of novel medications accounts for a key driving force behind the market growth, offering efficient outcomes. Moreover, several risk factors causing GI complications such as the extensive use of antibiotics, sedentary lifestyle, and change in dietary pattern among others foster the market growth. Additionally, smoking, alcohol, use of anticoagulants or corticosteroids, general health, and length of NSAID therapy also commutatively contribute to the market growth, increasing the incidence of GI issues.

On the other hand, factors such as unavailability of a permanent cure for inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome are impeding the market growth of GI drugs.
