Antiemetics Market Research, 2031

The global antiemetics market was valued at $2.3 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $4.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2031. The drugs or medications which helps to prevent and treat conditions such as nausea, and vomiting are referred as antiemetic drugs. Emesis can be caused due to various ailments including vertigo and motion sickness. Also chemotherapies are associated with the side effects such as nausea and vomiting which can be treated or prevented with these antiemetics. Furthermore, these antiemetic drugs belongs to different class such as serotonin receptor antagonists, dopamine receptor antagonists, neurokinin receptor antagonists and others and have wide applications in the healthcare sector. These drugs can also be used to treat vomiting caused by several medical conditions, including gastroenteritis, general anesthetics, opioid analgesics, dizziness, pregnancy, food poisoning, emotional stress, and others.

According to Cancer Statistics by the National Cancer Institute, in 2020, an estimated 1,806,590 new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. and 606,520 people died from the disease, which highlights the higher utilization of the chemotherapy treatment. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is the most severe symptoms for cancer patients receiving the chemotherapy which can further lead to metabolic disorders, dehydration, nutritional depletion and esophageal tears, and can affect the quality of life and interfere with treatment schedules. Thus, this highlights the need for the antiemetic treatment for the patient, leading to the expansion of the market. For instance, the most commonly used treatment for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is a combination of serotonin (5-HT3) receptor antagonists, a steroid (dexamethasone), and a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist (aprepitant).

Furthermore, nausea and vomiting during the pregnancy is a common condition which is known as “morning sickness”. Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy usually doesn't harm the fetus, but it can affect normal everyday activities. American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) states that, nausea and vomiting of pregnancy affects nearly 75% of pregnant women and about 1% of women develop hyper-emesis gravidarum, which may result in adverse outcomes for the mother and fetus. In some cases, morning sickness lasts much longer, and antiemetic drugs are extremely helpful in treating such conditions. Thus, this highlights the demand for the antiemetics during the pregnancy propelling the growth of the antiemetics market.

Also the rise in prevalence of the vertigo and vestibular neuritis which causes symptoms as dizziness, balance problems, nausea and vomiting, will contribute to the rise in demand of the antiemetic drugs. Also, the rise in the prevalence of the gastroenteritis, food poisoning, and vomiting and nausea associated diseases boost the antiemetics market growth.

In addition, the primary driving factors for the market growth include the patent expiration of various drugs, launching of more cost-effective generic substitutes, and rise in the investments by the key market players in manufacturing of the antiemetic drug molecules.

Furthermore, less knowledge regarding the appropriate dosage, strength and usage are expected to hamper the market growth. However, increase in healthcare expenditure and rising research and development activities, will provide large antiemetics market opportunity for investment to the market players during the antiemetics market forecast.
