Market Definition
Cough suppressants, often known as antitussives, are drugs that prevent coughing. Although the specific mechanism of action is uncertain, antitussives are hypothesized to work by blocking a coordinating area for coughing in the brain stem, so breaking the cough reflex arc. Opioids are the source of many antitussives, including pholcodine, codeine, and dextromethorphan.
Antitussive Drugs Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Surging prevalence of cough
Cough is estimated to be a major element driving demand for antitussive drugs, which will propel the market forward. Cough is the most common reason for visits to primary care physicians worldwide, accounting for roughly 8% of all consultations, according to data published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2014. According to the same source, the global annual prevalence of cough in the general population is estimated to be between 10% and 33%.
- Increasing investment for healthcare infrastructure
Another significant factor influencing the growth rate of antitussive drugs market is the rising healthcare expenditure which helps in improving its infrastructure.
- Rising geriatric population
The surging number of geriatric population will propel the market's growth rate during the forecast period of 2022-2029. As per the World Ageing 2020 research, the world's population will be roughly 727 million people aged 65 and up in 2020. In 2050, the number of elderly people is expected to increase to 1.5 billion. The geriatric population is more prone to chronic ailments, which is anticipated to enhance the market's growth rate.
Opportunity
- Innovation and Drug Development:
Ongoing research and development in the pharmaceutical industry are leading to the discovery of novel antitussive compounds and formulations. The introduction of innovative drugs with improved efficacy and fewer side effects provides opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to capture market share and address unmet medical needs.
Restraint/Challenge
- Limited Efficacy and Side Effects
One significant restraint in the antitussive drugs market is the limited efficacy of many available medications, especially for chronic cough conditions. Cough is a natural reflex that helps clear the airways, and suppressing it entirely can lead to complications. Some antitussive drugs might not effectively address the underlying cause of the cough, leading to symptomatic relief without treating the root issue.
In addition, some antitussive medications can cause side effects such as drowsiness, constipation, dizziness, and nausea. These side effects can affect the patient's quality of life, leading to non-compliance or discontinuation of the medication. Patients, especially those with pre-existing health conditions or those taking multiple medications, might be hesitant to use antitussive drugs due to potential interactions and adverse effects. Furthermore, the overuse or misuse of antitussive medications, particularly those containing opioids, has raised concerns about addiction and abuse. Healthcare providers need to carefully weigh the benefits against the risks when prescribing these medications, leading to cautious use and limited prescription, acting as a restraint in the market. Complex regulatory processes and the need for compliance with diverse guidelines in different countries pose challenges for sponsors, leading to delays and increased costs.
