Further, increasing incidence of heartburn, gastro esophageal reflux diseases, and acidity along with changing dietary habits are some other key factors behind the growth of antacids market.

Serious side effects associated with prolong use of proton pump inhibitors and availability of generic drugs in developing and underdeveloped markets is impeding the market's expansion in these regions. Excessive reliance on over-the-counter drugs is also providing headwinds to this market's growth.
