Moreover, the increasing incidence of acid reflux problems among adults are anticipated to drive demand for effective healthcare medication, including esomeprazole, driven by its tremendous potential in controlling acid burning. According to the Fortune Clinic, Mumbai, in 2023, approximately 20% of the patients in their outpatient department are suffering from acid reflux cases on a weekly basis. There will be a significant demand for esomeprazole in the future, as this trend continues further.
However, esomeprazole production requires a huge amount of cost due to its complex manufacturing process, leading to the lower supply in the world, causing higher costs per medication.
Rising gastroenteritis cases
The growing stomach-based health problems are registering new demand for esomeprazole medicine. According to data from city hospitals published by Hindustan Times, in April 2023, there is a 25 to 30% rise in the number of patients taking treatment due to a rise in gastroenteritis cases over the past couple of weeks in India. This is due to the increasing intake of contaminated water and food in the summer. The rising gastroenteritis cases are anticipated to facilitate significant demand for this medicine in the future.
The changing eating patterns and rising obesity
The significant shift in consumer eating habits, mainly towards alcohol and coffee consumption, and smoking are some of the major factors leading to acid reflux cases. The rising obesity cases in the world are expected to fuel the need for esomeprazole in the marketplace. According to a 2022 study, there is a significant correlation between obesity and the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The women with a body mass index 25-29.9, who are considered overweight are more than twice as likely to develop acid reflux compared to those with a normal weight.
Rising concerns over esomeprazole side-effects
The increased accessibility to the internet is encouraging patients to research medicines before intake. This provided a platform to learn about the side effects and functioning of medication in the human body. The Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission’s Pharmacovigilance Program of India (PvPI) evaluated the esomeprazole drug and revealed the chance of getting hyperprolactinemia as it can lower the prolactin levels.
According to the 2023 study, the use of proton pump inhibitors, which include esomeprazole, lansoprazole, and omeprazole, for longer periods can increase the risk of dementia among patients. These study outcomes are expected to hinder potential demand for the drug in the future.

Capsules segment is expected to register the highest growth in the study period
The capsules segment is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the study period, primarily driven by the availability of esomeprazole capsules in the retail space and the rising number of companies offering esomeprazole capsules, which is attributable to the increasing drug production approvals by the US FDA. Furthermore, the ability to act faster than tablets and other product types is contributing to this segmental growth.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease segment witnessed the largest market share in 2023
The GERD segment registered the largest market share in 2023 and is likely to retain its market position throughout the forecast period. The rising incidence of GERD in more countries is boosting the expansion of the esomeprazole market. According to a study, it is one of the most highly diagnosed digestive disorders, with a prevalence rate of 20% in the United States. This trend is a major factor contributing to the larger market share of GERD in the esomeprazole market.
The peptic ulcers segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate over the next few years on account of the significant rise in peptic ulcers. The prevalence of peptic ulcer diseases was 10% in 1990, with 500,000 new cases annually in the United States. This in a way facilitates sustainable demand for esomeprazole globally.
The hospitals and clinical pharmacies segment held a significant market share in revenue in 2023, which is highly accelerated due to the rising number of people having peptic ulcers, GERD, and other disease cases in healthcare settings. The increased accessibility of hospitals in the countries, from rural areas to urban areas, is witnessing significant rise in the doctor consultation, driven by growing government initiatives to promote healthcare infrastructure. This is expected to fuel demand for certain medications, including esomeprazole in the long run.
The North America region dominated the global market. This growth is due to rising prevalence of GERD and peptic ulcers in the region. According to the Centre for Disease Control, around 25 million people in the United States are expected to have peptic ulcer at least one time in their lifetime.
The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing region with a healthy CAGR during the study period, owing to the growing elderly population and rising gastroesophageal reflux cases. The growing companies engaging in the production of this drug in the region is expected to positively impact market growth
