Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is a drug that is used to reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Omeprazole can be taken alone or in combination with other drugs. It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and other diseases caused due to excessive stomach acid. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disorder in which stomach acid enters the esophagus and irritates the esophageal lining, resulting in inflammation. Due to this condition, acid reflux develops, which can be severe and last for a long time. The drug is approved by the regulatory agencies for the treatment of heartburn. In addition, omeprazole is used to promote healing of esophageal damage caused by stomach acid (erosive esophagitis). Omeprazole is used in combination with antibiotics such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin, which are used to treat ulcers caused by the Helicobacter pylori.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges. Currently, around 115 vaccine candidates and 155 molecules are in the R&D pipeline. Moreover, commonly used drugs such as hydroxychloroquine have witnessed a dramatic surge in demand for the management of COVID-19. Such high demand for these drugs has presented huge opportunities for manufacturers of COVID-19 management drugs, as many developed countries are facing shortage of these drugs. Thus, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expected to witness a significant growth in the future, owing to the demand for vaccine and treatment drugs for COVID-19. This, in turn, is expected to have a significant impact on the global omeprazole market.
