Gastroparesis Global Market Report 2024

The gastroparesis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.44 billion in 2023 to $6.8 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to factors such as an aging population, a rising prevalence of diabetes, an enhanced understanding of gastrointestinal disorders, evolving treatment protocols, and increased awareness about gastroparesis.

The gastroparesis market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.19 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of novel therapeutic options, the expansion of personalized medicine approaches, the integration of digital health solutions, the rise in healthcare infrastructure, and an increasing focus on early diagnosis. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in gastric electrical stimulation therapy, growing research in stem cell therapy, the adoption of minimally invasive surgical interventions, increased use of wearable health monitoring devices, and a focus on patient-centric care models.

The increasing prevalence of gastroparesis is expected to drive the growth of the gastroparesis market. Gastroparesis, a medical condition that halts or delays the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine, is caused by factors such as hypothyroidism, autoimmune diseases, injury to the vagus nerve, and viral stomach infections. Medications for gastroparesis work by tightening and contracting the muscles in the stomach wall, improving gastric emptying. For instance, a research study published by Practice Update, an online publisher of research articles based in the Netherlands, reported an overall prevalence rate of 267.7 per 100,000 persons for gastroparesis in the US in 2021. The prevalence rate for definite gastroparesis was 21.5 per 100,000 persons. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of gastroparesis is fueling the growth of gastroparesis treatment.

The rapid surge in the prevalence of diabetes is expected to contribute to the growth of the gastroparesis market in the future. Diabetes, a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin production or ineffective use of produced insulin, significantly increases the risk of developing gastroparesis. Diabetes plays a crucial role in expanding the population at risk for this condition. For instance, as of December 2021, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), a Belgium-based national diabetes association, reported approximately 537 million adults living with diabetes in 2021. This number is projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and reach 783 million by 2045. Therefore, the rapid surge in the prevalence of diabetes is propelling the gastroparesis market.

The anticipated growth of the gastroparesis market is expected to be driven by the increasing proportion of aging individuals. Aging individuals refer to those who are advancing in age or undergoing the aging process. The aging population significantly impacts the gastroparesis market due to an elevated prevalence among older individuals, associations with age-related conditions, and distinctive challenges in diagnosing and managing gastroparesis in the elderly. For example, in June 2023, the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, reported a 0.2-year increase in the country's median age to 38.9 years in 2022 from 2021 to 2022, indicating a continued aging trend in the population. Hence, the growing proportion of aging individuals is propelling the gastroparesis market.

Major companies in the gastroparesis market are investing in innovative devices to enhance their market position and profitability. Devices designed for gastroparesis treatment are medical tools or equipment aimed at managing or alleviating symptoms related to delayed stomach emptying. For instance, in 2022, Enterra Medical Inc., a US-based medical device company, introduced the Enterra Therapy for treating gastroparesis. The Enterra Therapy system utilizes an implanted neurostimulator to deliver gentle electrical pulses, offering potential relief for symptoms such as chronic nausea and vomiting associated with gastroparesis. This therapy is intended for individuals aged 18 to 70 experiencing chronic, intractable (drug-refractory) nausea and vomiting linked to gastroparesis of diabetic or idiopathic origin.

Major companies in the gastroparesis market are also developing drugs to bolster their profitability. Drugs used in gastroparesis treatment serve various purposes to address symptoms associated with delayed stomach emptying. For example, in December 2023, Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, announced that the U.S. FDA had accepted the New Drug Application for Tradipitant. This development represents a significant step toward potential approval for treating gastroparesis, with the FDA setting the decision date for Tradipitant under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) on September 18, 2024. If successful, Tradipitant would be the first FDA-approved novel drug for gastroparesis in over 40 years, marking a significant milestone in more than three decades for a drug specifically undergoing FDA review for gastroparesis.
