The rising geriatric population is notably driving the antacids market growth, although factors such as adverse effect of prolonged use of antacids may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the antacids industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Antacids Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global antacids market growth is the rising geriatric population. With age, the sphincter in the lower esophagus tends to relax, which allows acid to reflux or flow backward, causing heartburn. Heartburn can also be caused by GERD. Age is directly related to the increase in various disorders, including GERD. Furthermore, advances in healthcare and advanced treatment options for various diseases have increased the average life expectancy of people. For instance, as per the US census bureau, in 2015, people aged 65 years and above were approximately 617 million, and the number is expected to reach 1,566 million by 2050. As per data collected by the World Bank and the NIH, the percentage of the aging population is expected to grow from 8.48% in 2016 to approximately 17% by 2050. Thus, such factors are expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.
Key Antacids Market Trend
Growing e-commerce market is one of the key antacids market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. The global antacids market sees an increasing trend of online transactions as the market is dominated by OTC drugs that require no prescription. The major reason for the increased popularity of e-commerce retailing has been the retailers' efforts on improving the online shopping experience through better online education and targeted marketing. The strong viability of e-commerce channels further stimulates the sales of antacids. Online retailers also offer free access to various online offers. For instance, Amazon offers the option of different billing and shipping addresses, which helps the customer to send medication needed to a different geographic location easily. Such online facilities encourage consumers to buy medicines online, thereby stimulating market growth.
Key Antacids Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global antacids market growth is the adverse effect of prolonged use of antacids. Many antacids such as Maalox, Mylanta, Rolaids, and TUMS contain calcium. If these are taken in high doses, patients could be at risk of calcium overdose, which can lead to adverse effects such as nausea, kidney stones, and swelling of the feet. Antacids that consist of aluminum hydroxide may cause constipation, aluminum intoxication, osteocalcin, and hypophosphatemia. The availability of OTC antacids and their combined use with other medications can result in drug-drug interactions and have serious side effects. For instance, antacids, when taken with acidic drugs such as digoxin or chlorpromazine, can result in drug absorption due to which the concentration of the drug in the blood becomes low, which further reduces the efficacy of the drug. Such adverse effects of antacids can hamper the growth of the market.
This antacids market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
Countries across North America were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The rise in the incidence of COVID-19 in countries across North America influenced governments to introduce emergency legislation, which included restrictions on several business activities. This led to the shutdown of manufacturing units of several industries. In the first few months of 2020, most pharmaceutical companies focused on developing vaccines and manufacturing drugs to support the medical crisis associated with COVID-19, reducing the production volume of antacids. This resulted in the slow growth of the market in North America. However, to support the sale of nonprescription or OTC drugs in March 2020, the American President, Joe Biden, signed the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act (HR 748). Other factors such as the rising R and D expenditure by pharmaceutical companies in 2021 are expected to positively influence the antacids market growth in North America during the forecast period.
