Analyst Opinion

In the Digestives & Intestinal Remedies market, rising health issues such as gastrointestinal disorders among people are the main driver of the market growth. Due to the industrialization of the food industry, the consumption of fast food has been increasing continually in recent years. The development and expansion of the food services industry further help the market generate higher revenues. Additionally, hectic lifestyle is facilitating the trend of eating out. As a result, the consumption of digestive and intestinal remedies is boosted because of the growing awareness of healthcare.

In 2022, the global Digestives & Intestinal Remedies market reached US$18.79 billion and recovered from a slight decline in 2020 brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the forecast period, the market is expected to reach a CAGR of around 2%.
