Summary

The 7 major lactose intolerance markets reached a value of US$ 10.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 20.9 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.23% during 2024-2034.

The lactose intolerance market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Lactose Intolerance Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Lactose intolerance refers to a digestive disorder caused by an inability to digest lactose, a major carbohydrate found in dairy products. This ailment is characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme lactase, which is required in the body to digest lactose. Depending on the causative factor, there are four types of lactose intolerance: primary, secondary, congenital, and developmental. The most common symptoms of the ailment include bloating, gas, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, etc. Typically, these indications appear one and a half to two hours after consuming milk-based foods or drinks. Individuals suffering from this condition may also experience an urgent need to go to the toilet, lower belly pain, vomiting, and constipation. The diagnosis of this condition involves a review of the patient's medical history, symptoms, and physical examination. The other supporting tests to confirm a diagnosis include a stool acidity test and a hydrogen breath test. Additionally, the healthcare provider may perform a lactose tolerance test to detect the absorbance of lactose in the digestive system by measuring blood glucose levels.

The increasing prevalence of genetic disorders on account of inherited gene mutations and structural defects is primarily driving the lactose intolerance market. Apart from this, the rising incidences of intestinal ailments, such as celiac disease, carcinoid syndrome, Crohn's disease, etc., which damage the cells that generate lactase, are also bolstering the market growth. Furthermore, the escalating usage of prescription medications, including rifaximin, to treat bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine that can exacerbate lactose intolerance indications, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the widespread adoption of gut microbiome analysis for identifying specific bacteria that may be causing symptoms and guiding personalized treatment options, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Moreover, numerous key players are making extensive investments in research activities to develop safer and cost-effective targeted therapies with a better understanding of disease pathology. This, in turn, is also propelling the market growth. Additionally, the growing demand for lactase enzyme supplements owing to their several associated benefits, including reduced symptoms, improved nutrient absorption, being well-tolerated with fewer side effects, easy availability, etc., is expected to drive the lactose intolerance market during the forecast period.

IMARC Group's new report provides an exhaustive analysis of the lactose intolerance market in the United States, EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, and France), United Kingdom, and Japan. This includes treatment practices, in-market, and pipeline drugs, share of individual therapies, market performance across the seven major markets, market performance of key companies and their drugs, etc. The report also provides the current and future patient pool across the seven major markets. According to the report, the United States has the largest patient pool for lactose intolerance and also represents the largest market for its treatment. Furthermore, the current treatment practice/algorithm, market drivers, challenges, opportunities, reimbursement scenario, unmet medical needs, etc., have also been provided in the report. This report is a must-read for manufacturers, investors, business strategists, researchers, consultants, and all those who have any kind of stake or are planning to foray into the lactose intolerance market in any manner.

Recent Developments:
In February 2024, Novartis announced that Xolair (omalizumab) has been approved by the US FDA to reduce allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, that can occur after accidental ingestion of one or more foods in pediatric and adult and patients aged 1 year and above with IgE-mediated food allergy. The approval is based on findings from the NIH-sponsored Phase III OUtMATCH research, which demonstrated a considerably higher proportion of food allergy patients as young as one year treated with Xolair could tolerate tiny amounts of peanut, milk, egg, and cashew without an allergic reaction, compared to placebo.

Key Highlights:
About 65 percent of the human population has a diminished capability to digest lactose after infancy.
Lactose intolerance is most common in persons of East Asian heritage, with 70 to 100 percent of those affected in these cultures.
80 percent of all Native Americans and African-Americans are lactose intolerant.
Lactose intolerance appears to be more prevalent in patients suffering from diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) than in healthy persons.
Lactose intolerance typically manifests in adults between the ages of 20 and 40.

Drugs:
Tilactase is a beta-D-galactosidase isolated from Aspergillus oryzae. The medication is used to treat the symptoms of lactose intolerance in babies and older patients who require parenteral nourishment or a fluid diet. It is produced as a chewable tablet that must be taken before consuming a lactose-containing meal.
