As per statistics of the Asian Development Bank, the population of individuals above the age of 60 years in Asia is projected to touch 923 million by 2050. The elderly population that is more susceptible to gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD) and peptic ulcers is anticipated to account for significant demand for antacids in the region.

Apart from this, the increasing incidence of heartburn, acidity, and gastro esophageal reflux diseases, and changing lifestyle are stoking growth of the worldwide market for antacids. For instance, according to a study published in Gut (BMJ journal), the prevalence of GERD in Europe ranges from 8.8% – 25.9%. Countries in Northern Europe account for a high prevalence of gastro intestinal and gastro esophageal diseases over countries in Southern Europe.
Self-medication is a common practice for occasional heartburn and acidity and the easy availability of antacids over the counter is also having a positive influence on the market's growth. This is because antacids suppress the stomach acid either by neutralizing it or by inhibiting the acid production in stomach.
