Major Driver Impacting Market Growth

The increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders is expected to propel the growth of the stool softener market going forward. Gastrointestinal disorders refer to any condition or disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders is attributed to various factors, including lifestyle changes such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. Stool softeners help alleviate gastrointestinal disorders by making stools easier to pass, thereby preventing constipation and reducing strain during bowel movements. For instance, in 2023, according to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, a Canada-based non-profit organization, the number of people in Canada with IBD is increasing rapidly, from 322,600 in 2023 (0.8% of the population) to 470,000 in 2035 (1.1% of the population). In 2023, 11,000 people will be diagnosed (1 every 48 minutes), and by 2035, this will rise to 14,000 (1 every 38 minutes). Therefore, the increasing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders is driving the growth of the stool softener market.
