Market Overview
Laxatives are class of drugs used to promote evacuation of bowels and used to treat both acute and chronic constipation. These all increase the water content of faces and thereby make defecation less painful and easy. The laxatives have been segmented by their mechanism of action and these have different onset of action. For example, Bulk-forming agents and stool softeners both have an onset time of 12–72 hours, followed by lubricant agents with a onset time of 6–8 hours.

The market drivers are rise in risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, overweight, long working hours etc. Another very important driver is the rise of fast food industry with low fibre foods and changing consumption patterns such as poor fruit and vegetable intake. The growth of geriatric population also drives the market as constipation affects the old people disproportionately due to natural slowing of digestive mechanism. The other factors driving the market are availability of laxatives as over the counter medicines without prescription and the off label use of laxatives. Laxative abuse is also driving the market as it results in habitual compulsory use of laxatives as the body is unable to expel faces due to excessive stimulation by chronic use of laxatives.

Global Laxatives Market
The market restraints are the side effects associated with the medicines such as their habit forming potential, flatulence, abdominal cramps, dehydration, disturbance of electrolyte balance, hypotension, hypokalaemia, rhabdomyolysis, steatorrhoea, etc. The market also faces a threat due to plethora of substandard products with dubious claims which reduces the credibility of the market.

The current product development strategy involves combinatory products involving two or more laxatives with a different mode of action. The most popular combination being bulk forming and lubricant laxatives. Greater palatable product with flavour is also being launched. The market also reflects the falling popularity of rectal route of administration. Products such as suppositories and enemas through rectal route are almost replaced by products by oral route except in small children and bed ridden patients. The market also reflects the falling popularity of stimulant laxatives as they are associated with damage to the intestinal and colon linings. Thus, Senna and its derivatives are losing the market share to other drugs especially synthetic drugs such as mineral oil and phenolphthalein.
