How big is the motion sickness drug market in the U.S. and globally? (in dollars)

Hello blacken-ga,


Motion sickness is caused by irregular and abnormal motion that
disturbs the organs of balance located in the inner ear, as well as
discordant signals from your eyes and balance mechanisms.  As they get
more out of concert, nausea, dizziness, headache, and cold
perspiration set in.

My search for the motion sickness drug market in the U.S. and globally
returned these results:

I located an article prepared in June 2000 by Mark Greener, freelance
medical writer, where he states that Americans spend up to $200
million per year on motion sickness treatments.

The motion sickness global market is worth more than $1 billion
dollars.

The source of this number is located the following excerpt, although I
recommend you read the whole webpage as it may interest you.

IPM-MOTION SICKNESS MATRIX
“L.A.M. has been working with a multi-national collaborator to develop
a motion sickness patch that will incorporate the Company's patented,
IPM drug delivery technology, with the corporate collaborator's
internationally marketed motion sickness drug. Delivering this widely
accepted and well-known drug using the IPM technology is expected to
achieve controlled release of the drug over a 24-hour period, thereby
providing long-term relief in only one dose, with no gastrointestinal
upset or other side effects. In addition, the IPM method requires a
substantially smaller amount of the active drug per dose than if the
same drug were taken orally. As a result, patch wearers experience
little or no drowsiness. The Company expects this product will be
introduced to market within the next 12 months and will represent
revenues of approximately $100 million, in a market worth more than $1
billion.”

I noticed that there was less data available for this market than for
the other markets I had already researched.
