What main drivers are fueling expansion in the stool softener market?
The rise in cases of gastrointestinal disorders is set to stimulate growth in the stool softener market. Such disorders are any diseases or conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract, a system that includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Factors such as poor diet, absence of physical activity, and stress have contributed to this rising prevalence. Stool softeners play a role in easing the discomfort of gastrointestinal disorders, as they work to make stools easier to evacuate, preventing constipation and reducing the exertion during bowel movements. For example, in 2023 it was reported by Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, a non-profit organisation based in Canada, that the number of Canadians suffering from IBD is on a steep rise, from 322,600 in 2023 (0.8% of the population), expecting it to reach 470,000 by 2035 (1.1% of the population). An estimated 11,000 people will be diagnosed in 2023 (at a rate of one every 48 minutes), and this number is expected to increase to 14,000 by 2035 (one every 38 minutes). Therefore, the surge in cases of gastrointestinal disorders is a significant factor driving the expansion of the stool softener market.
