Opioid-Induced Constipation (OIC) Market Insights, Epidemiology and Forecast 2025-2034 with Insights on SYMPROIC, MOVANTIK and BGP345A - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Opioid-Induced Constipation - Market Insights, Epidemiology, and Market Forecast - 2034" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The comprehensive report offers a detailed analysis of the market. It presents historical and projected epidemiological data, covering diagnosed prevalent cases, age-specific cases, cancer-related cases, and treated cases across seven major markets: the United States, EU4, the UK, and Japan, from 2020 to 2034. The report evaluates the existing treatment practices and unmet medical requirements, identifying potential business prospects.

Key Highlights:

  • Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) arises from opioid-mediated inhibition of gastrointestinal motility and secretion via peripheral µ-opioid receptors.
  • Affects 40-60% of patients on chronic opioid therapy, with a higher prevalence in women, older adults, and cancer pain populations.
  • Treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms without compromising pain control; conventional approaches often provide limited relief.
  • FDA-approved treatments include peripherally acting µ-opioid receptor antagonists (PAMORAs) such as RELISTOR, MOVANTIK, and SYMPROIC, as well as AMITIZA for non-cancer pain.
  • BGP345A is an investigational candidate highlighting the unmet need in patients unresponsive to current PAMORAs.
  • Persistent gaps in long-term efficacy and refractory patient care sustain opportunities for innovation, despite a mature market.

Epidemiology

The report offers data on patient populations and trends, illustrating the prevalence of OIC. This epidemiological data is valuable for understanding the disease burden across regions. OIC affects over 40% to 60% of patients without cancer receiving opioids.

Market Outlook

The market is expected to grow due to rising prevalence, technological advancements, and upcoming therapies. Research continues to hold hope for effective treatments and possibly a cure. Significant changes in the market are predicted during the forecast period.
