The Pharmaceutical Suppositories Market was valued for $1,606.46 million in 2022 and is estimated to reach $2,802.05 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2032.
Suppositories are solid dosage forms of medication that are precisely designed for insertion into bodily cavities other than the mouth. They can be placed in the rectum, vaginal canal, or urethra. These items are designed to melt or dissolve in the cavity fluids after insertion, allowing the drug to be released. On the basis of the site of insertion, suppositories are divided into rectal suppository, vaginal suppository, and urethral suppository. Suppositories have usefulness in on-site action. It omits the first-pass effect which save drug from metabolism. In case of bitter and obnoxious drugs, suppositories are used as drug delivering option. In pediatrics, suppositories are often used to treat symptoms similar to constipation. However, there is a possibility of mucosal irritation at the site of use which may limit its usage.
The increase in prevalence of chronic diseases that necessitate the use of suppositories is a significant driver for the pharmaceutical suppositories market. Chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, hemorrhoids, and certain cancers often benefit from localized drug delivery, reducing systemic side effects. The demand for suppository-based treatments rises as these conditions become more common due to various factors such as lifestyle changes and aging populations. For instance, according to the article published in National Library of Medicine, stated that 320,000 people in Canada have been living with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the prevalence is forecasted to rise by 2.44% per year such 1.1% of the population, 470,000 Canadians, are anticipated to live with IBD by 2035.
This trend offers substantial growth opportunities for pharmaceutical companies, leading to the development of new formulations and expanding the market for suppository-based medications to meet the healthcare needs of individuals with chronic diseases.
However, limited drug compatibility hinders market growth as not all medications are effectively delivered through suppositories due to stability and solubility issues. In addition, manufacturing complexities, requiring specialized equipment and processes, increase production costs and restrict the number of manufacturers, limiting market accessibility and affordability.
The pharmaceutical suppositories market is segmented into type, base, distribution channel, end user, prescription type and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into rectal suppositories, vaginal suppositories and urethral suppositories. On the basis of base, it is classified into fatty base, water miscible bases, and emulsifying bases. The water miscible bases are further segmented into glycero gelatin base, soap glycerin suppositories, and polyethylene glycol bases. The emulsifying bases are further segmented into witepsol, massa esterium, and massuppol.
On the basis of distribution channel, the market is divided into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies and online sales. On the basis of end user, it is classified into hospitals & clinics, home care and nursing home. On the basis of prescription type, it is bifurcated into OTC and prescribed suppositories. On the basis of region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The major players that operate in the pharmaceutical suppositories market include Bayer AG, Bliss Gvs Pharma Ltd, Viatris Inc, Cadila Healthcare Ltd, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited, Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Novartis AG, Pfizer Inc., and Sanofi S.A.
suppositories provide great alternative of drug delivery and can be useful in case of unconscious patients or where direct on-site action is desired.
The factors such as increased geriatric population, rise in number of gastro-intestinal diseases across the globe, rise in intra uterine diseases and various chronic diseases and rise in number of hospitals & clinics are expected to drive the growth of the pharmaceutical suppositories market. Moreover, the increase in use of rectal suppositories and technological advancements further boost the growth of the market.
In addition, North America is expected to witness the highest growth, in terms of revenue, owing to ongoing technological advancements, a well-established and advanced healthcare infrastructure, and adoption of suppositories for treatment by patients and healthcare providers. However, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness notable growth, owing to a rise in geriatric population and an increase in initiative to expand the healthcare facilities in the region, thus driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
