The increasing incidence of respiratory disorders along with the rising air pollution are some of the key trends contributing to the growth of the cough syrup market. Additionally, the growing geriatric population, along with the strong pharmaceutical sector, is boosting market growth as aged people are more prone to respiratory disorders. Furthermore, the market is expected to witness lucrative growth due to increasing product developments.

However, product recalls, and the stringent regulatory scenario are hampering the growth of the market.

Regional Analysis

The Americas is expected to hold a maximum share of the global cough syrup market, and the regional market is projected to register a CAGR of 3.16% during the forecast period.

Europe accounts for the second-largest, in the global cough syrup market, majorly due to the presence of key players such as Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, and Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC. The cough syrup market in Europe is expected to be driven by the growth of the pharmaceutical industry in Germany, France, and the UK.

Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market due to the continuous development in developing countries such as India and China. High prevalence of respiratory diseases due to tobacco smoke, exposure to air pollutants at home and the workplace, vehicular pollution, and indoor air pollution from biological agents related to damp and mold further increase the risk of respiratory disease in children and adults in these countries.

The Middle East & Africa cough syrup market has been segmented into major two regions, the Middle East and Africa. The developed countries in the region, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, are the ones with the maximum share of the cough syrup market. The advancing healthcare infrastructure, increasing healthcare expenditure, and increasing per capita disposable income of the people in these countries are some reasons leading to the large share of the market in these countries. Africa is the least developed region with limited healthcare resources and facilities for the people. The low growth rate due to less developed and less efficient health systems is hampering the growth of the market.
