The global antidiarrhoeals market is expected to grow from $3.58 billion in 2021 to $3.78 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The market is expected to reach $4.39 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 3.8%.

The antidiarrhoeal drugs market consists of sale of antidiarrhoeal drugs and related services. Diarrhea is a disease affecting digestive parts of the body such as stomach, large intestine and rectum, esophagus, liver, gallbladder and pancreas and causes loose, watery bowel movements. Loperamide and bismuth subsalicylate are some examples of antidiarrhoeal drugs.

The main classes of antidiarrhoeals drugs are mucosal protectants and motility modifying drugs. Mucosal protective agents are drugs which safeguard the stomach's mucosal lining from gastric acid and are employed to cure peptic ulcers. The different types include OTC drugs, prescription drugs and is used by adults and children.

Rise in the number of diarrhea cases significantly contributes to the growth of antidiarrhoeal drugs market. According to UNICEF, diarrhea was the second leading cause of death among children under the age of 5 years that is responsible for killing 760,000 children every year. Increasing number of diarrhoeal cases increases the demand for antidiarrhoeal drugs.

Increase in the use of biologics medicines poses to be a restraint to the antidiarrhoeal market. Biologics are medicines derived from living organisms like human beings, animals or other microorganisms using biotechnology and are composed of proteins, sugar, nucleic acids or a combination of each of these substances. Due to their ability to target inaccessible parts using small-molecule therapies, biologics are being preferred over the traditional chemical drugs.

This shift is restricting the antidiarrhoeal drugs market hampering the growth of the market. For example, to treat Crohn's Disease, antidiarrhoeal medications were being used previously, but with the advent of biologics, demand for antidiarrhoeal diseases has subsided.
