The opioid-induced constipation market has been comprehensively analyzed in this report titled "Opioid-Induced Constipation Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Opioid-induced constipation is a type of chronic constipation primarily caused by opioids, which activate enteric receptors and increase tonic non-propulsive contractions in the large and small intestines. This can slow down the movement of stool through the digestive system, leading to difficulty passing stool and infrequent bowel movements. The common symptoms associated with this ailment include abdominal tenderness, bloating, distention, or bulging in the abdomen, alternating episodes of constipation and diarrhea, dry and hard stools, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, difficulty defecating, fatigue, etc. The diagnosis is usually based on the evaluation of the patient's symptoms, along with a physical and rectal examination to visualize abdominal distension and stool impaction. The commonly utilized assessment tools for evaluating the severity of the condition are Bristol Stool Scale and Rome IV diagnostic criteria. In some cases, additional testing may be required to determine the underlying cause of the ailment. This may include colonoscopies to examine the digestive system as well as fecal occult blood testing to evaluate infections or other medical issues inducing constipation.
The escalating utilization of opioid medications for acute pain, such as after surgery or injury, and chronic pain, including that associated with cancer or certain other medical conditions, is primarily driving the opioid-induced constipation market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of effective drugs, such as mu-opioid receptor antagonists and chloride channel type-2 activators, which help enhance intestinal relaxation and stool movements to provide symptom relief, is also bolstering the market growth. In addition to this, the inflating application of several diagnostic tools, including Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) and PAC-Quality of Life, (PAC-QOL) to measure abdominal and rectal symptoms, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, numerous key players are making extensive investments in R&D activities to introduce injectable opioid antagonists in order to treat advanced illnesses among patients. This, in turn, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the emerging popularity of the hybrid approach, which includes pharmacological therapy and lifestyle modifications, such as increasing dietary fiber, focusing on fluid intake, maintaining physical wellness, etc., for treating the ailment, is expected to drive the opioid-induced constipation market in the coming years.
This report provides an exhaustive analysis of the opioid-induced constipation market in the United States, EU5 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and United Kingdom) and Japan. This includes treatment practices, in-market, and pipeline drugs, share of individual therapies, market performance across the seven major markets, market performance of key companies and their drugs, etc. The report also provides the current and future patient pool across the seven major markets.
