What Are The Key Factors Driving Growth In The Bismuth Subsalicylate Market?

The growing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders is anticipated to propel the growth of the bismuth subsalicylate market in the coming years. Gastrointestinal disorders are conditions that affect the digestive tract, including the stomach, intestines, and associated organs, leading to symptoms such as pain, bloating, and altered bowel movements. The rise in gastrointestinal disorders is primarily driven by poor dietary habits, with excessive intake of processed foods and insufficient fiber leading to imbalances in gut microbiota and impaired digestion. Bismuth subsalicylate is used in gastrointestinal disorders to relieve diarrhea by reducing inflammation in the gut and inhibiting the growth of certain bacteria that can cause digestive upset. For instance, in May 2025, according to a report published by ScienceDirect, a US-based bibliographic database, around 23.5 million gastrointestinal endoscopies were performed in 2022, an increase of 6% compared to the previous year. Therefore, the growing prevalence of gastrointestinal disorders will boost the growth of the bismuth subsalicylate market.
