Top Growth Drivers in the Laxatives Industry: What's Accelerating the Market?
The increasing occurrence of gastric disorders is anticipated to drive the expansion of the laxatives market in the future. Gastric disorders are medical conditions that impact the function and structure of the stomach, resulting in symptoms like pain, inflammation and indigestion. The incidence of gastric disorders is on the rise due to a growing intake of fast and processed foods. These foods often adversely affect gut health by causing inflammation and disrupting acid balance. Laxatives aid in the management of gastric disorders by encouraging bowel movements, alleviating constipation and diminishing distress caused by digestive blockages. For example, in February 2025, Cancer Australia, a government agency of Australia, reported that an estimated 2,576 new cases of stomach cancer were identified in 2023, with an overall lifetime risk of diagnosis by the age of 85 being 0.85% (1.1% for males and 0.61% for females). Hence, the burgeoning occurrence of gastric disorders is catalyzing the expansion of the laxatives market.

What Trends Will Shape the Laxatives Market Through 2029 and Beyond?
Leading businesses in the laxatives market are concentrating on producing advanced formulas, such as osmotic laxatives, to enhance outcomes for digestive health and cater to the consumers' preference for safer, non-addictive alternatives. Osmotic laxatives, which are non-stimulant substances, draw water into the intestines to soften the stool and trigger bowel movements, often containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) or lactulose. For example, in June 2024, LaxaGo, an over-the-counter osmotic laxative, was launched by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, a company based in India. LaxaGo boasts a polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350 formulation with balanced electrolytes for efficient yet mild relief, a superior taste profile to reinforce patient adherence, and a non-stimulant action that mitigates dependency risks tied to prolonged usage.
