Scopolamine is an alkaloid drug extracted from plant called henbane to treat nausea and motion sickness and further to dilate the pupil in ophthalmic procedures. Scopolamine belongs to a class of drugs called anticholinergics. It works by blocking the activity of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which stimulates the part of the brain that triggers nausea and vomiting, involuntary muscle movement in the lungs, and the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.

Scopolamine is also used in medicine as a sedative or hypnotic and sometimes with morphine to relieve pain. Scopolamine has also been prescribed ‘off label’ for depression, asthma, as a smoking-cessation remedy, and to relieve the nausea that accompanies chemotherapy.
The global scopolamine market size was valued at US$ 370.4 million in 2017, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period (2018 – 2026).

Market Dynamics:

Changing lifestyle that involves minimal or absolutely no physical work in a routine life are responsible for the malfunctioning of the digestive as well as gastrointestinal system. Increasing number of population adopting long-hour sedentary work lifestyle are likely to be affected with gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome and thus are responsible to support growth of the global scopolamine market.
Increasing prevalence of motion sickness is expected to drive growth of the scopolamine market:
Psychological stress is considered as one of the most important factors in the development of motion sickness. The psychological stress impacts intestinal motility, intestinal sensitivity, permeability, and secretion that is co-related with the mucosal immune activation and alterations in the central nervous system.
According to a survey by Buscopan IBS Relief in 2016, stress was the cause for seven out of ten patients suffering from gastrointestinal pain. Thus, increasing number of population suffering from stress and anxiety disorder are expected to fuel growth of the global scopolamine market.

Use of scopolamine in Alzheimer's disease may prove useful as a diagnostic or staging test in the evaluation of the cholinergic system in dementia, which provides opportunities to the researchers to explore application of these drugs for other neurological disorders, which in turn is driving the market growth over the forecast period.

However, abuse of these drugs in various regions illegally, may restrict growth of the scopolamine market during the forecast period. For instance, this drug is more common and easily available in Colombia, where it is used to make victims carry out sexual assaults and robberies. Furthermore, online availability of this drugs at low cost, which are abuse by sexual predators and robbers frequently in the various European regions (in UK, scopolamine can be bought online for only US$ 12.8) might bring stringent regulations against the manufacturing and marketing of this drug in the near future which may affected growth of the scopolamine market.
