Irritable bowel syndrome drug market set to grow to $1.6 billion by 2018

8 September 2011

The global irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) therapeutics market was valued at $655.8 million in 2010, and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% in the forecast period to reach $1.6 billion by 2018, according to a new report from GlobalData.

The high projected growth rate is primarily attributable to a strong pipeline and increasing disease awareness. Increases in the prevalence of the disease and the launch of new first-in-class therapies with better safety and efficacy profiles are expected to drive the growth of the IBS therapeutics market.
