Trends in the Global Antacids Market

• Presently, there is an increasing trend in health-conscious individuals seeking natural and non-pharmaceutical solutions for digestive issues. Consumers are continuously prioritizing healthy lifestyles and sustainable alternatives. Consequently, this trend is driving the antacids market towards the development of more organic and plant-based antacid options, emphasizing ingredients like ginger and aloe vera, which are perceived as gentler on the stomach.
• The antacids market is experiencing a surge in online sales. With the current global shift towards digitalization, consumers are increasingly purchasing healthcare products, including antacids, online. This trend is fueled by convenience, accessibility, and the availability of a wide range of products. As a result, companies in the antacids market are optimizing their online presence, engaging in e-commerce partnerships, and enhancing user experience through intuitive websites and mobile apps to cater to this growing demand.

Liquid segment has gained popularity in recent years and is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment in the global antacids market during the forecast period. This is due to its ease of consumption and fast-acting nature. This segment has witnessed a substantial increase in sales volume, with a notable surge in demand, particularly among the elderly population. Liquid antacids are preferred by a growing number of consumers seeking immediate relief from digestive discomfort. This preference is reflected in the significant increase in production and distribution of liquid antacid products in recent years, with sales reaching billions of units annually. The liquid segment’s appeal lies in its quick effectiveness and suitability for various age groups.

Retail pharmacy end-use segment had the highest share in the global antacids market in 2022. This can be attributed to its extensive accessibility and widespread presence. Retail pharmacies serve as a convenient one-stop destination for consumers seeking over-the-counter healthcare products, including antacids. Their extensive networks ensure that consumers have easy access to antacids in urban and rural areas alike. Furthermore, consumers often trust the reliability and quality of products available at these established pharmacies. This trust and accessibility have led to a substantial market share for the retail pharmacy segment. Consumer footfall and consistent demand contribute to their continued dominance in the antacids market.
