Overview


According to FutureWise analysis, the market for Antiemetic drugs is estimated to be US$ 8.17 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 13.29 billion in 2031 at a CAGR of 6.30%. 

Antiemetic drugs play a crucial role in alleviating nausea and vomiting, symptoms that can arise from various sources, including medical conditions, treatments, procedures, and medications. These medications are available in diverse forms, including tablets, sublingual, oral solutions, suppositories, transdermal patches, or intravenous injections, catering to individual preferences and conditions. Several classes of antiemetic drugs are employed to address these symptoms. 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, like ondansetron, are effective against acute gastroenteritis and postoperative nausea, as well as common side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Dopamine antagonists such as metoclopramide and domperidone are widely used for postoperative nausea and motion sickness. H1 antihistamines and antimuscarinics like scopolamine effectively treat vestibular-induced nausea and vomiting, with transdermal patches offering a convenient delivery method. Glucocorticoids are indicated for chemotherapy-induced emesis, while neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptor antagonists such as aprepitant are relatively new options for managing chemotherapy and radiotherapy-induced symptoms.

They determine the most effective antiemetic hinges on a comprehensive assessment by a healthcare professional, factoring in the specific context, severity, and underlying cause. The choice of medication should be tailored to the individual's needs, medical history, and potential side effects. Given the diverse array of antiemetic medications, medical expertise should guide appropriate selection to ensure optimal symptom relief while minimizing adverse effects. Possible side effects of antiemetic drugs include headache, fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, and changes in bowel habits. The careful selection of the proper antiemetic medication is best made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, considering the patient's unique circumstances, the severity and origin of the symptoms, and any coexisting medical conditions or medications.

Recent Development in Antiemetic Drugs Market:

  • In April 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Evoke Pharma, Inc. new drug product exclusivity for Gimoti (metoclopramide) nasal spray. This exclusivity provides Evoke with exclusive marketing rights for three years starting from the initial approval date, safeguarding the product against competition from generic drugs under the provisions of the Hatch-Waxman Act. Metoclopramide, a dopamine antagonist, serves as a potent antiemetic medication.
  • In February 2022, Acacia Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for Barhemsys, an intravenous formulation of amisulpride, a dopamine antagonist. Barhemsys is designed to address postoperative Vomiting and nausea in patients who have not responded to antiemetic treatment from a different class. Acacia Pharmaceuticals is preparing for a commercial launch and anticipates introducing Barhemsys in the latter half of 2022.

The anti-emetic drugs market is propelled by several influential drivers, creating a landscape of opportunities and challenges that shape its trajectory. A significant driver is the increase in prevalence of cancer, especially the widespread occurrences of breast and lung cancers. These malignancies contribute to a substantial number of global deaths annually and are often treated with chemotherapy, which frequently induces distressing side effects like nausea and vomiting. This underscores the pressing need for effective anti-emetic drugs to alleviate these symptoms and enhance patients' quality of life. Furthermore, the rising allocation of healthcare expenditures and the concurrent development of healthcare infrastructure globally provide a fertile ground for market growth. Governments and healthcare entities across regions actively invest in enhancing healthcare services and facilities, facilitating better patient access to anti-emetic treatments. The aging population and increasing awareness of healthcare options and advancements further boosts the market's potential. Amid these driving forces, opportunities emerge on multiple fronts. Strategic collaborations between established pharmaceutical giants and innovative biotech firms promise to accelerate research and development efforts, yielding novel anti-emetic treatments and expanding the market's horizons. Additionally, the exploration of emerging markets and the continuous investment in research and development activities hold the potential to unearth new avenues for growth.

However, the market encounters its share of challenges and constraints. Adverse effects of certain anti-emetic drugs, including dopamine antagonists causing anticholinergic symptoms, present a hurdle to broader adoption. These side effects may deter patients and healthcare professionals from embracing such treatments, potentially impacting market expansion. Moreover, drug development's high costs and complex regulatory landscape pose substantial challenges. The lengthy and resource-intensive process of obtaining regulatory approvals and bringing new anti-emetic drugs to market can hinder innovation and market entry. In some developing economies, a lack of robust healthcare infrastructure and a shortage of skilled healthcare professionals may impede the effective distribution and administration of anti-emetic drugs. Additionally, limited awareness among patients and healthcare providers about the benefits of anti-emetic medications and the presence of stringent government regulations may constrain market growth in certain regions.
