Bile Acid Sequestrants Market - Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Unhealthy Lifestyle, The Diet of People Around the World - A sedentary lifestyle such as a diet high in saturated and trans fats, taking alcohol, smoking, and insufficiency of workouts leads to severe chronic diseases, and one of these is hyperlipidemia which further increases the demand for bile acid sequestrants. A chemical called acrolin, noticed in cigarettes, prohibits HDL from transferring cholesterol from fatty deposits to the liver, leading to the tapering of the arteries (atherosclerosis). A poor involvement in physical activity or working out is anticipated to be impacted by various factors. Some ecological factors comprise traffic congestion, air pollution, lack of parks or pedestrian walkways, and a shortage of sports or spare time facilities. Watching television, video watching, and cell phone utilization are affirmatively correlated with an acceleration of a sedentary lifestyle. Physical sluggishness is the fourth leading risk factor for international mortality, attribution for 6% of international mortality. Bile acid sequestrants help in lowering bad cholesterol and help you lead a healthy life.
  • The Increasing Ratio of The Geriatric Population in The World - Globally the number of aged people and their multiple health issues are increasing. Additionally, the market profit expansion is because of the increasing number of aged people, who are weak to hyperlipidemia. By 2050, the geriatric population (those 65 and more aged), which recently stands at 524 million, is predicted by the UN to have tripled to 1.5 billion. The primary cause of mortality internationally, attributing to 31% of all casualties in 2020, is cardiovascular disease, in line with the World Health Organization. As a hitch precaution, hyperlipidemia drugs such as bile acid sequestrants are in high demand because of the increasing frequency of cardiovascular sickness.
  • Safe to Use for Pediatric Prescription - The bile acid sequestrants are safe to give to children who are suffering from cholestatic liver diseases. These involved diseases like biliary atresia, Alagille syndrome, advanced intrahepatic cholestasis entities, ductal plate abnormalities comprising Caroli syndrome and inherent hepatic fibrosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, bile acid synthesis defects, and specific metabolic disease. Agents like ursodeoxycholic acid, bile acid sequestrants, and rifampicin have been pillars of treatment for years with the comprehension that they may reduce or change the composition of the bile acid pool, though the clinical outcome to these drugs is often not enough and their influences on disease advancement stay restricted.

Challenges

  • The Side Effects of Bile Acid Sequestrants - Several side effects of the bile acid sequestrants may cause a bumper in the market growth of bile acid sequestrants in the anticipated period. Since bile acid sequestrants are not preoccupied with the gastrointestinal tract, they have restricted systemic side effects. Some of the most general negative effects are gastrointestinal, involving constipation, stomach ache, bloating, vomiting, heartburn, loss of appetite, nausea, and upset stomach. Constipation is encountered by 10% of patients having colestipol and 28% of those having cholestyramine. These adverse impacts appear more generally with larger doses and older patients (older than 65 years). They can worsen peptic ulcer disease and hemorrhoids. Implementing it is chronically associated with bleeding issues in high doses, which is avoidable by implementing oral vitamin K treatment.
  • Rigorous Regulatory Atmosphere of The Industries
  • Shortage of investments across the world for new bile acid-sequestrants drugs.
