According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Viral Gastroenteritis Market is accounted for $47.16 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $73.77 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period. The stomach flu, also referred to as viral gastroenteritis, is an infectious intestinal disease that causes inflammation in the intestines and stomach. The rotavirus, adenovirus, and norovirus are the main viruses that cause it. Being highly contagious, the illness usually spreads through contaminated food, water, or intimate contact with an infected person. Moreover, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps in the abdomen, fever, and nausea are common symptoms; in severe cases, dehydration results.

According to a survey report across 33 countries among 73,076 adults by Bodibio, a US-based fitness and wellness company, 40% of those surveyed had a functional gastrointestinal disorder, including all the variations of functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, functional constipation, and others.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Spread of viral adherence

The highly contagious nature of viruses that cause gastroenteritis, like rotavirus and norovirus, is a major factor in the spread of outbreaks. Viral transmission occurs mainly through person-to-person contact, aerosolized vomit particles, and contaminated surfaces. Additionally, this increased transmissibility, particularly in crowded environments and communities with close interpersonal contact, plays a role in the quick and widespread occurrence of viral gastroenteritis.

Restraint:

Lack of targeted antiviral treatment

The lack of specific antiviral drugs for many of the causative agents, including norovirus, is a significant barrier to treating viral gastroenteritis. In contrast to bacterial infections, which are typically treated with antibiotics, supportive care for viral gastroenteritis primarily focuses on rehydration and symptom relief. Furthermore, therapeutic intervention options are limited due to the absence of targeted antiviral drugs.

Opportunity:

Development and research on vaccines

Research and development efforts aimed at producing potent vaccines against gastroenteritis viruses, particularly noroviruses, present a substantial opportunity. Novel approaches to the development of vaccines could be made possible by growing comprehension of host immune responses and viral genomics. Moreover, a successful vaccine could transform prophylactic measures and lessen the incidence and intensity of gastroenteritis outbreaks.

Threat:

Absence of particularized antiviral therapy

One major threat is the lack of specific antiviral drugs for many gastroenteritis viruses. Viral gastroenteritis is primarily treated with supportive care, with limited options for therapeutic interventions, unlike bacterial infections, which are frequently treated with targeted antibiotics. Additionally, the management of severe cases is made more difficult by the absence of a targeted antiviral treatment.

Covid-19 Impact

The market for viral gastroenteritis has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As global healthcare systems have primarily concentrated on controlling the pandemic, there have been variations in the prevalence of viral gastroenteritis cases. In an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19, lockdowns, social distancing measures, and improved hygiene practices have all somewhat reduced the number of gastroenteritis viruses that are being transmitted. Moreover, accurately tracking and managing gastroenteritis cases has proven difficult, due to changes in public attention and resources towards the pandemic, decreased surveillance efforts, and disruptions in healthcare services.

The Rotavirus segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Due to the widespread influence on public health worldwide, the rotavirus segment is a dominant force in the viral gastroenteritis landscape, possessing the largest market share. Additionally, rotavirus infections are well known for being a major cause of severe diarrhea, particularly in young children. They also significantly increase the overall burden of morbidity and mortality associated with gastroenteritis. Due to the virus's high contagiousness and adaptability to different environments, it is frequently found in a wide range of settings, including childcare facilities and areas with poor access to healthcare.

The Ambulatory Care Centers segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

With the highest CAGR, the ambulatory care center segment is becoming more and more important in the healthcare sector. These centers are essential to the transformation of healthcare delivery because they are dedicated to providing outpatient services, diagnostics, and preventive care. Furthermore, the growth of ambulatory care has been driven by a shift towards patient-centric models and an increasing demand for affordable and easily accessible healthcare options.

Region with largest share:

North America has continuously held the largest market share. The region's prominence is ascribed to a confluence of factors such as sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, significant investments in research and development, a resilient regulatory framework, and elevated healthcare spending. However, with its sophisticated medical technology, firmly established pharmaceutical industry, and extensive healthcare system, the United States in particular stands out as a major driver of the North American healthcare market.

Region with highest CAGR:

During the forecast period, the European region is expected to have the highest CAGR. Europe consistently holds a sizable share of the global healthcare market thanks to its well-established healthcare infrastructure, high standards for medical research and innovation, and extensive healthcare systems. Moreover, the aging population, the frequency of chronic illnesses, and the emphasis on accessible and high-quality healthcare all support Europe's continued rise and clout in the world healthcare arena.
