Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Market to Set Phenomenal Growth From 2025 to 2034

Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic abdominal pain, bloating, altered bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or both), and discomfort without identifiable structural abnormalities. IBS affects millions worldwide and has a significant impact on quality of life, work productivity, and healthcare costs.

The exact cause of IBS remains unclear, though it is associated with gut-brain axis dysfunction, food sensitivities, stress, and microbiome imbalances. While not life-threatening, IBS imposes a substantial burden on healthcare systems due to frequent doctor visits, diagnostic tests, and symptomatic treatments.
Growing awareness, advancements in drug therapies, and expanding patient demand for personalized treatment approaches are fueling growth in the IBS market. Over the next decade, innovations in microbiome-based therapies, digital health tools, and dietary management will further transform this space.
