世界のOTC医薬品の市場規模は、2023年に1,511億5,000万米ドル、2030年までに2,130億8,000万米ドルに達し、2024年~2030年の予測期間にCAGRで5.93%の成長が見込まれます。市場は、鎮痛薬の需要拡大につながる痛みをもたらすさまざまな適応症の急増などの多くの理由により製品需要が爆発的に増加しています。さらに、胃腸疾患の流行も、OTC胃腸薬の成長に寄与している主な要因です。上記の要因に加えて、さまざまな医薬品の処方からOTCへの急速な切り替えも、2024年~2030年の予測期間における市場の成長動向の確立に重要な役割を果たすと見込まれます。
OTC医薬品の市場力学
OTC医薬品市場の主な成長促進要因の1つは、関節炎、腰痛、線維筋痛症などの筋骨格系に影響を及ぼすさまざまなモダリティの増加による鎮痛薬の使用の急増であり、その他のにも月経痛、頭痛などの適応症があります。例えば、Rheumatoid Arthritis Network(2023)によると、2022年に世界中で3億5,000万人が関節炎に苦しんでいます。さらに、National Health Service UK(2023)によると、世界中の20人に1人が線維筋痛症に罹患しています。鎮痛薬は、特に痛みを和らげることを目的とした薬の一分類です。関節炎の場合、アセトアミノフェン(米国ではタイレノール)のような特定のOTC鎮痛薬が積極的に消費されています。その他のOTC医薬品の鎮痛薬には、イブプロフェンやナプロキセンナトリウムなどがあります。鎮痛薬の他に、OTC医薬品のもう1つの人気カテゴリには解熱剤があり、アセトアミノフェン、イブプロフェン、デキシブポルフェンなどが含まれます。筋骨格系疾患の有病率の増加や疼痛管理へのニーズの高まりを考慮すると、今後数年間にOTC鎮痛薬の需要が増加し、2024年~2030年の予測期間にOTC医薬品市場全体を牽引することが見込まれます。
OTC医薬品への需要の増加のもう1つの大きな要因は、世界中で意図しない妊娠の患者が急増していることであり、このことが予測期間にOTC緊急避妊薬の需要に影響を与える見込みです。例えば、世界保健機関(WHO)が提供したデータ(2023)によると、世界中の低中所得国に住む400万人の女性が毎年意図しない妊娠をしています。これは、世界全体で毎年2,500万件の安全でない中絶と4万7,000人の妊産婦死亡につながっています。現代の避妊法は、意図しない妊娠を防ぐ上で重要な役割を担っています。国連経済社会局(2019)の統計では、約9億2,200万人の生殖年齢にある女性(またはそのパートナー)がさまざまな製品からなる避妊法を使用しており、その中でも緊急避妊薬は、意図しない妊娠を避けるためのもっとも一般的で信頼できる情報源の1つであると述べられています。さらに、COVID-19パンデミックにより、子宮内避妊機器や避妊パッチなど、その他の避妊方法として利用可能な代替品へのアクセスが困難になったため、利用者の間でOTC緊急避妊薬の需要がさらに高まっています。したがって、上記の要因は予測期間のOTC医薬品市場の明るい成長見通しを示しています。
しかし、薬物乱用のためのOTC医薬品の誤用や、OTC医薬品の偽造の可能性、副作用の可能性は、OTC医薬品市場の成長抑制要因となる可能性があります。
上記の要因に加えて、OTC医薬品市場はCOVID-19パンデミックによるロックダウンの影響を受けました。COVID-19パンデミック中、この特定の市場は高い製品需要を維持していたにもかかわらず、サプライチェーンに大きな混乱が生じ、避妊薬、鎮痛薬、アレルギー薬などの製品は、ロックダウンの初期段階において生産がわずかに減少しました。さらに、COVID-19の軽症例に伴うインフルエンザのような症状により、パラセタモールなどのOTC解熱剤の需要が大幅に増加しました。パンデミック中にこうした製品の需要が増加したとはいえ、製造能力の低下、ロジスティクスの課題、高い調達コストといったサプライチェーンの混乱により、供給面は大きな影響を受けました。しかし、パンデミック後のシナリオは、完全な生産能力での活動再開がサプライチェーンの復旧に役立つため、OTC医薬品市場にとって収益生成の好機となる環境がもたらされ、予測期間(2024年~2030年)におけるOTC医薬品市場の市場見通しが向上します。
当レポートでは、世界のOTC医薬品市場について調査分析し、市場規模と予測、促進要因と課題、企業と製品のプロファイルなどを提供しています。
Over The Counter Drugs Market By Therapeutic Category (Cough, Cold & Allergy, Gastrointestinal, Analgesics, Dermatological, And Others), By Formulation (Tablets, Powders & Capsules, Drops, Topical Creams & Ointments, And Others), By Distribution Channel (Hospitals Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, Online Pharmacies, And Others), and by geography is expected to grow at an appreciable CAGR forecast till 2030 owing to the rapid switch of prescrpition durgs (RX ) to OTC status as well as increasing prevalence of various indications resulting in incidents of acute and chronic pains leading to extensive use of OTC drugs
The global over-the-counter (OTC) drugs market was valued at USD 151.15 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 5.93% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030 to reach USD 213.08 billion by 2030. The OTC drugs market is witnessing an explosion in product demand owing to numerous reasons such as the surge in the prevalence of different indications resulting in pain leading to growing demand for analgesics. Moreover, growing prevalence of gastrointestinal issues is another key factor contributing in the growth of OTC gastrointestinal drugs. Besides the factors stated above, the rapid switch from prescription to OTC status of various medication is also expected to play a key role in establishing an upward growth trend in the OTC drugs market during the forecast period from 2024 to 2030.
OTC Drugs Market Dynamics:
One of the primary factors driving the over-the-counter drugs market growth is the upsurge in the use of analgesics due to increase in various modalities affecting the musculoskeletal system cause problems such as arthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia among other indications such as menstrual cramps, headaches etcetera. For instance, as per the Rheumatoid Arthritis Network (2023), in 2022, 350 million people suffer from arthritis across the globe. Furthermore, as per the National Health Service UK (2023), fibromyalgia affects one in 20 people across the globe. Analgesics are a class of medication specifically aimed at providing pain relief. For arthritis, certain OTC pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol in the US) are actively consumed. Other OTC drugs pain relievers include ibuprofen or naproxen sodium. Besides analgesics, another popular category of OTC drugs include antipyretics which also include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and dexibuporfen. Considering the growing prevalence of musculoskeletal ailments and the growing need for pain management is expected to drive the demand for OTC analgesic drugs in coming years, thereby driving the overall market for over the counter drugs during the forecast period from 2024-2030.
Another prominent factor responsible for the increasing demand of OTC drugs is the upsurge in cases of unintended pregnancies across the globe, which is expected to influence the demand for over the counter emergency contraception pills during the forecast period. For instance, as per the data provided by the World Health Organization (2023), 4 million women living in low and middle-income countries have unintended pregnancies annually across the globe. This leads to 25 million unsafe abortions and 47,000 maternal deaths every year globally. Modern methods of contraception have a vital role in preventing unintended pregnancies. The United Nation's Department of Economic and Social Affairs 2019 statistics mentioned that approximately 922 million women of reproductive age (or their partners) use contraception methods comprising various products of which emergency contraceptive pills are one of the most common and reliable sources for avoiding unintended pregnancies. Moreover, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, other alternatives available as methods of contraception such as intrauterine devices and contraceptive patches among others were not as easily accessible which further raised the demand for OTC emergency contraceptive pills among users. Therefore, the factors mentioned above indicate towards a positive growth outlook for the over the counter drugs market during the forecast period.
However, misuse of OTC drugs for substance abuse, the probability of counterfeiting of OTC drugs, and possibility of adverse drug reactions may prove to be deterrents to over-the-counter drugs market growth.
Besides the above-mentioned factors, the over the counter market was impacted by the imposition of the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though this specific market maintained a high product demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant disruption in supply chain wherein products such as contraceptive pills, analgesics, and allergy medication witnessed a slight reduction in production in the initial phase of the lockdown. Additionally, due to the flu-like symptoms associated with the milder cases of the COVID-19 infection, there was a significant increase in the demand for OTC antipyretics such as paracetamol. Even though the demand for such products did increase during the pandemic, the supply aspect was severely affected due to disruption in supply chain such as decreased manufacturing capacity, logistic challenges, and high procurement costs. Although, the post-pandemic scenario provides an opportune environment for revenue generation for the OTC drugs market due to the resumption of activities in full capacity helping in the restoration of supply chain thereby improving the market outlook for the over the counter drugs market during the forecast period (2024-2030).
Over the Counter (OTC) Drugs Market Segment Analysis:
Over The Counter Drugs Market by Therapeutic Category (Cough, Cold, and Allergy, Gastrointestinal, Analgesics, Dermatological, and Others), by Formulation (Tablets, Powders, and Capsules, Drops, Topical Creams and Ointments, and Others), by Distribution Channel (Hospitals Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, Online Pharmacies, and Others), and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World)
In the therapeutic category type segment of the over the counter drugs market, analgesics drugs were estimated to account for significant revenue share in the year 2023. This can be attributed to the rising prevalence of indications that result in pain. Accessing analgesics without prescription is an added advantage for consumers as it allows consumers to address pain without having to go to a doctor to procure a prescription. As per the U.S. National Library of Medicine (2023), approximately 25 billion doses of acetaminophen are sold alone in the United States every year. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of indications resulting in pain such as headaches, minor injuries, among others are also expected to contribute in the growing demand for OTC drugs in forthcoming years.
North America is expected to dominate the overall Over the Counter Drugs Market:
Among all the regions, North America is projected to amass the largest share in revenue generation in the OTC drugs market. Some of the factors responsible for the growth of the North America over the counter drugs market is the number of switches from Rx to OTC status for various drugs, growing preference of OTC drugs over prescription drugs, comparatively less stringent regulatory guidelines for marketing approvals among others.
One of the prominent markets in the North American region is the United States. As per the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America (2023), allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. The source further mentioned that over 50 million Americans experience various types of allergies each year. Additionally, as per Food Allergy and Education (2023), 32 million people have food allergies across the country. Furthermore, considering the high prevalence of food allergies in the country, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies 8 major food items as common allergens as per the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA). Additionally, in April, 2022, the Food Allergy Safety, Treatment, Education, and Research (FASTER) Act was signed into law, declaring sesame as the 9th major food allergen recognized by the United States. Antihistamines are popular medication for allergies which are available over the counter. Some of the over the counter antihistamine drugs include brompheniramine, cetirizine, loratadine, clemastine among others. Therefore, the rise in prevalence of allergies in the country is expected to boost the demand for OTC antihistamines thereby driving the OTC drugs market in the North American region.
Additionally, the extensive switch of the Rx medication to OTC status is another factor driving the market growth in the North American region. For instance, in March 2022, Nasonex 24HR Allergy (mometasone furoate) nasal spray was given the OTC status by the US FDA. Moreover, the rising healthcare costs is expected to add to the demand for the OCT drugs as they cost significantly less than prescription drugs. Thus all the factors stated above are predicted to aid in the growth of the North America OTC drugs market during the forecast period.
