Market Dynamics
The major driving forces used constipation, recent drug approvals and robust pipeline, and rising opioids for chronic pain.
The rising prevalence of opioid-induced constipation is expected to drive market growth.
The rising prevalence of opioid-induced constipation is expected to boost the market. For instance, in a study carried out in Spain with 317 ambulatory patients undergoing treatment with different opioids for chronic pain, whether caused by cancer or not, 94.6% of patients reported at least one symptom of Opioid-induced bowel dysfunction and constipation. The most frequent symptom was constipation (91.6%). Although opioids are highly efficacious for treating acute and chronic pain, they can also cause several significant side effects. One of the most commonly reported side effects of opioid use is opioid-induced constipation. According to the National Institute of Health, 40–80% who were prescribed opioid drugs experienced constipation due to drug consumption. Thus, the increasing prevalence of opioid-induced constipation is driving the market.
The low diagnosis rate and stiff competition from standard laxatives are restraining the market's growth.
The low diagnosis rate is likely to hamper the market. For instance, clinicians lack awareness about opioid-induced constipation in patients on opioid therapy in Spain, one of the major factors hampering the growth of the opioid-induced constipation market. Even if the clinicians are aware, they do not ask patients about constipation. Usually, patients might feel ashamed to disclose their constipation-related symptoms to clinicians. The major restraint hampering the market's growth is the absence of universal diagnostic criteria for opioid-induced constipation.

Market Segment Analysis
The antibiotics segment is expected to dominate the Spain opioid-induced constipation market throughout the forecast period (2022-2029).
The Mu-Opioid Receptor Antagonists are expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period (2022-2029). Mu-Opioid Receptor Antagonists (including PAMORAs) are designed to antagonize the intestinal activity of opioids while preserving their systemic effect. Some Mu-Opioid Receptor Antagonist drugs include Naldemedine, Naloxegol, and Methylnaltrexone. The increasing cases of cancer and chronic pain disorders such as arthritis fuel the Mu-Opioid Receptor Antagonists segment growth as these drugs can be used for OIC treatment in patients with chronic pain related to cancer and non-cancer pain. For instance, according to World Cancer Research Funds International, in 2020, there were around 260,455 new cancer cases and 112,335 deaths due to cancer. Thus, the Mu-Opioid Receptor Antagonists are estimated to dominate the Spain Opioid-Induced Constipation market throughout the forecast period.
