Key Market Trends

Proton Pump Inhibitors Segment is Expected to hold the Large Market Share over the Forecast Period

Proton pump inhibitors accounted for the second largest segment as they are the most commonly prescribed medication for the treatment of acid reflux. The Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) characterize the maximum potency in inhibiting gastric acid secretion, primarily by blocking the acid pump. These inhibitors are well-known, for both, therapeutic effects and good safety profiles.

• Heartburn and regurgitation are the most common acid reflux-related symptoms in Canadian patients, and many individuals self-diagnose and self-treat these symptoms. PPIs are the most successful short-term treatment for recurrent or severe heartburns. The OTC status of some PPI drugs is expected to augment their sales. Thus, owing to the all above mentioned factors the market is expected to witness a high growth.

North America is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share over the Forecast Period

In the United States, major selling drugs include omeprazole, Pantoprazole Sodium, and Nexium. Thus, owing to the lifestyle change and rising cases of GERD the market is expected to grow.
