Additionally, the increasing availability of generic loperamide hydrochloride products and the expanding distribution networks of key market players have contributed to the market's growth. As the demand for effective and affordable antidiarrheal treatments continues to rise, the global loperamide hydrochloride market is poised for steady growth in the coming years.
