Infectious Enteritis Treatment Market Size

Infectious Enteritis Treatment Market Analysis

The Infectious Enteritis Treatment market is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of nearly 4.9% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the infectious enteritis market. According to an article published by Clinical Medicine in March 2022, acute gastrointestinal side effects were reported with COVID-19 infection and were estimated to affect around 17% of patients. According to an article published by the Harvard Gazette in November 2021, 60% of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 also report gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. With an increase in these intestinal enteritis symptoms, the demand for its treatment increase. Therefore, the increasing number of cases of COVID-19 further led to an increased number of cases of infectious enteritis, and thus the market witnessed considerable growth during the pandemic. However, the market is witnessing stabilized growth currently owing to the decrease in COVID-19 cases and the increase in these intestinal enteritis cases, and is expected to project a similar trend over the coming years as per the analysis.

Factors such as the rising population with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and diarrhea cases due to infectious enteritis and intensive research and development activities, and Increasing FDA approvals of infectious enteritis treatment drugs are expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by the Middle East Journal of Digestive Diseases in July 2022, it was estimated that the incidence of IBS is 38.5 per 10,000 persons per year, and the prevalence has been reported to be 10-17% in the general population. Furthermore, according to an article published by BMC Medicine, in March 2022, IBS patients are subtyped based on bowel habit profile into diarrhea (IBS-D), constipation (IBS-C), mixed (IBS-M) or indeterminate, and approximately 10-20% of all cases develop after an episode of acute gastroenteritis. Thus, increase in the population with IBS and diarrhea cases due to infectious enteritis, the demand for its treatment increase, thereby driving the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Additionally, various initiatives taken by the key market players, such as product launches, mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships, are expected to boost the market's growth during the forecast period. For instance, in November 2021, an interdisciplinary panel of infectious disease clinicians and public health experts led by the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP) and the Africa CDC released the first edition of the African Antibiotic Treatment Guidelines for Common Bacterial Infections and Syndromes. Such an initiative is expected to drive the growth of the market.

The factors mentioned above are expected to drive the market's growth worldwide. However, several adverse effects associated with the treatment of infectious enteritis and a lack of awareness among people in developing countries are expected to restrain the growth of the studied market over the forecast period.
