Executive Summary
Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS is a gastrointestinal disorder in which the colon muscle contracts more readily. The high prevalence of this syndrome could be estimated from the fact that 1 out of every 5 American is affected by the disorder and it is more common in women. Though the exact cause of the disorder is still unknown, factors like food, medicine, lifestyle and emotional stress can trigger the condition.
The global IBS market holds immense business opportunities as there are very few drugs and treatment available in the market. Moreover, only about 60% of the patient suffering from the syndrome tends to seek medical aid. The market is characterized with high unmet demand for proper treatment and this has resulted in many ongoing research and clinical trials. At present Amitiza and Lotronex are the only FDA approved drugs available in the market, which has created a necessity for more drugs and therapies in the Irritable Bowel Syndrome market. The IBS market is likely to witness arrival of many other drugs and first class therapies in the foreseeable future leading to generic competition in the market.
