What key drivers have fueled the constipation laxative market’s development over the years?
The increasing prevalence of constipation is expected to propel the growth of the constipation laxative market going forward. Constipation is a symptom characterized by infrequent bowel movements, typically fewer than three times a week, and difficulty passing hard, dry stools. The prevalence of constipation has been rising due to various factors, including changes in dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, inadequate fluid intake, and certain medical conditions or medications. Constipation laxatives are used to alleviate constipation by stimulating bowel movements or softening stools. They help restore regularity and ease discomfort when dietary and lifestyle changes are insufficient. For instance, in January 2024, according to the survey of 1,139 participants conducted in Saudi Arabia on individuals aged 18 and above by Cureus, a US-based peer-reviewed journal, a total of 811 participants, comprising 71.2% of the total, reported either current or past experiences with constipation. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of constipation is driving the growth of the constipation laxative market.
