Market Dynamics
Lactose intolerance is a medical condition identified by lactase (lactose digesting enzyme) deficiency within the patient’s body. As a result, lactose remains intact and unabsorbed producing various ill-effects such as flatulence, bloating, and abdominal pains. Four types of lactose intolerances are identified, namely, primary lactase deficiency, secondary lactase deficiency, congenital lactase deficiency, and developmental lactase deficiency. Secondary lactase deficiency mainly occurs due to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroenteritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, chemotherapy, and antibiotics. As per the study by the Journal of Health, Population, and Nutrition in 2017, the prevalence of lactose intolerance was significantly higher in IBS-D patients compared to healthy individuals. In this study, some eligible IBS-D patients and healthy individuals were enrolled. In the enrolled individuals, lactose malabsorption was diagnosed by a lactose hydrogen breath test (HBT), and lactose intolerance-related symptoms were monitored for eight hours following lactose administration. It was found that the prevalence of lactose malabsorption was 72% in IBS patients and 60% in healthy individuals.
A study published in the Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine in 2015 also showed that the incidence rate of lactose malabsorption with lactose intolerance was 27.16% in pediatric patients with gastrointestinal diseases. Moreover, the highest occurrence was 47.83% in IBS, and the lowest was 15.78% of ulcer disease. IBS represents a significant burden on the US and globally, with an estimated prevalence rate of 14%. From all the information, it is observed that the escalating cases of IBS and other gastrointestinal disorders would boost the US lactose intolerance treatment market
