Of the different drug category, antacid & anti-ulcerant accounted for the largest share
of the global market revenue. Growth of this segment is majorly attributed to the
approval of novel proton pump inhibitors by government regulatory. In addition,
growing demand for gastrointestinal therapeutics such as Nexium, Dexilant, and
Sulcrate in developing as developed countries drives the market growth of this
segment. However, anti-diarrohea segment recorded around 3.5% share of the
global market and is expected lose its market share during the forecast period owing
to the generic drug entry.

5 Global Gastrointestinal Diseases Market, by Drug Category
5.1 Overview
The global gastrointestinal diseases market is categorized into different types of drug
category such as Antacid & Anti-Ulcerant, GIT Anti-inflammatory, Antiemetic, Anti-
diarrhoea, and other GIT Therapeutics. This chapter analyzes the market revenue
generated by the different branded and generic therapeutics falls under different
drug categories. Antacid and Anti-Ulcerant section covers the study of variety of
Omeprazole drugs such as Losec/Prilosec, Nexium, Protonix, Dexilant, Prevacid,
Takepron, Pentozol, Pariet/Aciphex, and drugs such as Sucralfate
(Carafate/Sulcrate) , Cytotec and others. Companies such as AstraZeneca, Takeda
Pharmaceuticals and Daichi Sankyo are aggressively investing in research and
development activities to develop new anti-ulcerant moieties which help this segment
to grow during the forecast period. However, negative growth of the segment is
majorly attributed to the patent expiry of AstraZeneca’s two brand drug,
Losec/Prilosec and Nexium. On other side, the demand for Takeda Pharmaceutical’s
proton pump inhibitor (Dexilant) is increasing due to its unique mechanism of action
which is considered as positive impact for the growth of this segment.
GIT Anti-inflammatory comprises drugs such as Lialda, Delzicol, Asacol, Pentasa,
Uceris, Apriso, Entyvio, Remicade, and others. This segment is anticipated to growth
with the positive growth rate of XX% during the forecast year 2016 to 2022. The
growth of the segment is majorly supported by the launch of Takeda’s vedolizumab
category of drug (Entyvio). This monoclonal antibody based Anti-inflammatory drug
is expected to hit the market with highest growth rate due to its high efficacy for the
treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Additionally, drug molecules such as Lialda
(Shire, Inc.) and Apriso (Salix Pharmaceutical) is also projected to support the
growth of this market segment owing to the patent exclusivity.
Antiemetic drug agents include the market estimation covering brand or generic
drugs such as Emend, Aloxi, Kytril and many others. Study for the gastrointestinal
drugs such as Enterogermina, Smecta, Imodium, and others are covered under the
anti-diarrhoea drug segment. While, Other GIT Therapeutics includes the revenue
generation of therapeutics such as Donnatal, Creon, Daikenchuto,

6 Global Gastrointestinal Diseases Market, by Geography
6.1 Overview
The global gastrointestinal diseases market, by geography is categorized into North
America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. This chapter analyzed the
revenue generation by each region in terms of US$ million. The global market for
gastrointestinal diseases is majorly dominated by the developed regions of North
America and Europe which captured almost XX% share of the global market revenue
in 2016. Growth of this region is majorly attributed to the rising approval of novel
gastrointestinal therapeutics coupled with growing incidence of various
gastrointestinal diseases. Among which, North America is accounted for XX% share
of the total revenue in 2016. Approval of GIT Anti-inflammatory such as Lialda and
Entyvio helped the region to grow with steady growth rate during the forecast period.
However, increasing incidence of gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel
syndrome and ulcerative colitis in Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World region drives
the growth of the market during the future period.

6.2 North America
North America recorded US$ XX million revenue, around 50.64% share of the global
gastrointestinal diseases market. Gastrointestinal diseases market in North America
is majorly supported by the favorable government initiatives to introduce novel GIT
therapeutics. For example, in May 2014, U.S. FDA approved Takeda
Pharmaceuticals’ GIT Anti-inflammatory therapeutic, Entyvio. The drug is indicated
for the treatment of severe ulcerative colitis and moderate to severe Crohn‘s
disease. Takeda Pharmaceutical is projecting high sales growth of this integrin
receptor antagonist in the U.S. market owing to its proven safety and efficacy in
clinical trials for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn‘s disease. Additionally,
in November 2013, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated
that more than 21 million people in the U.S. get infected with noro-virus and develop
acute gastroenteritis each year which further stimulated the demand for GIT
therapeutics. However, patent expiry of blockbuster gastrointestinal therapeutics
such as Nexium, Pariet/Aciphex and many others adversely affected the growth of
the market.
