Digestive medicines are the most common over-the-counter medicines purchased by people. Moreover, physicians recommend the use of these medicines only after minor health issues such as acidity and other digestive problems. But in various other countries, these medicines are sold directly to the patients without prescription as per their rules and regulations. 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sales of digestive and intestinal remedies were reduced globally. Lockdown measures to control the spread of COVID-19 and better hygiene have frozen the spread of seasonal illnesses, which has reduced the sales of over-the-counter medicines. Various pharmaceutical companies have displayed quarterly earnings reports which showed that a decrease in digestive and intestinal remedies has affected their bottom line sales in the market.

Market growth of the digestive and intestinal remedies is driven by the changes in the natural food habits, shifting physical routine, and changing eating habits. The use of various chemicals and synthetically produced food ingredients is increasing. The increasing consumption of processed food products can contribute to gastrointestinal disorders. Moreover, the eating out trend is on the rise across the world which also significantly gives rise to digestive problems and market growth.

With the technological developments and advancements, more people are getting dependent on digital techniques. The increasing use of technology is leading the daily lives to become less labor-intense and eventually leading to more sedentary. This creates a lack of physical activity and increases obesity along with digestive and intestinal health issues.
