The global antacids market is estimated at USD 7.06 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 8.35 billion by 2030, advancing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.42% over the period. This mature yet stable market reflects consistent demand driven by rising rates of acid-related digestive conditions, particularly among older adults.

Key Trends

1. Demographics and Lifestyle Pressures
As the global population ages, more people experience gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and heartburn. These conditions are particularly widespread in adults aged 65 and above, pushing demand for quick-relief products like antacids.

2. Novel Format Adoption
Beyond traditional tablets and chewable soft‐gels are gaining momentum. These formats are projected to grow at around 5.67% CAGR through 2030-outpacing other formulation types thanks to improved taste, convenience, and controlled-release capabilities.

3. Ingredient Choices Drive Segment Growth
Calcium carbonate remains the dominant active ingredient, representing about 38.54% of the market in 2024. Meanwhile, alginate-based products-sold as raft‐forming antacids-are growing at approx. 5.23% CAGR as they offer physical barrier effects in addition to acid neutralization.

4. Rise of Liquid Antacid Formats
Oral liquids, favored for rapid onset of relief, are expanding at around 6.12% CAGR. Even as solid oral forms lead share, liquids serve consumers seeking fast symptom management or those with swallowing difficulty .

5. Rapid Expansion in Asia-Pacific
While North America-holding about 42.45% of the market in 2024-remains the largest region, Asia‐Pacific is expanding the fastest, expected to post a 4.56% CAGR over the forecast window. Growing healthcare infrastructure, increased dietary risk factors, and greater self-care adoption contribute to this upward trajectory.

Conclusion

The antacids market is set for steady expansion, rising from USD 7.06 billion in 2025 to USD 8.35 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.42%. Though challenged by newer acid-suppressing drug classes like proton pump inhibitors and potassium-competitive acid blockers, antacids maintain relevance due to their fast action, OTC access, and growing acceptance of alternative dosage formats.

Asia-Pacific will drive much of the upside, while North America continues to anchor overall volume. Formats such as chewables, and alginate‐based raft products will gain traction, targeting consumers seeking ease of use and novel delivery methods. Liquid antacids will strengthen their presence among fast-relief and pediatric users.

Leading players that expand format offerings, adapt ingredient profiles, and manage omnichannel distribution-spanning pharmacies to e-commerce-will remain competitive. As consumer expectations shift toward more tailored and approachable dosage forms, the antacid market will evolve to meet these needs while continuing to deliver affordable and accessible relief for digestive discomfort.
