Global Opioids Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis by Product, Application and Region – Forecast to 2026 – ResearchAndMarkets.com

April 23, 2019 Off By BusinessWire

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Opioids
Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (IR/
Short-acting, ER/Long-acting), By Application (Pain Relief, Anesthesia),
By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 – 2026”
report has been
added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global opioids market size is estimated to reach USD 29.4 billion by
2026, expanding at a CAGR of 1.8% over the forecast period. Growing
geriatric population, coupled with increasing focus on palliative care,
is estimated to drive the market. Moreover, increasing geographical
expansions by market players is expected to fuel growth.

Rising prevalence of disease conditions with chronic pain, such as
cancer, lower back pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, is driving the
opioids market. Substantial rise in road accidents and trauma, coupled
with constantly increasing cases of surgical procedures, is also driving
demand for opioid-based pain management solutions.

On the basis of product, ER was the dominant segment in 2018 owing to
its high usage in chronic pain management. However, the abuse and misuse
of these drugs have resulted in a serious public health crisis.

North America led the market in 2018 with a share of 55.5% in terms of
revenue. One of the major reasons for its dominance is rising geriatric
population with terminal conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
However, opioid abuse in U.S. has been rising at an alarming rate.
Overdose has killed over 28,000 people in 2014 alone. Almost half of
those deaths were caused by prescription drugs. Hence, drug abuse has
been declared a public health emergency in U.S. and this is likely to
limit market growth in North America.

According to the federal government, around 4,000 Canadians died due to
opioid-related overdose in 2017, which is a 34% jump from the previous
year. Globally, Canadians are one of the highest users of prescription
opioids and this rate, along with associated deaths and hospital visits,
has been growing rapidly. To combat this, Health Canada aims to restrict
the marketing of such drugs.

The federal government is calling on pharmaceutical companies to stop
marketing opioids. For instance, Purdue Pharma has stopped marketing its
opioids in Canada, thereby limiting the growth of the North America
market. The company has, in fact, shifted its focus to other regions,
such as Asia Pacific, to retain its hold in the market. APAC is likely
to witness the fastest growth in the coming years.

Further key findings from the study suggest:

  • Extended release was the largest product segment in 2018 due to its
    high usage in chronic pain management
  • Cancer pain was the largest pain relief segment in 2018 owing to
    global increase in prevalence of cancer
  • North America was the largest regional market in 2018, driven by
    presence of key players and highest use of prescription opioids
  • Europe was the second-largest regional market in 2018, primarily
    fuelled by growing geriatric population
  • Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth over the
    forecast period due to increase in geriatric population, coupled with
    shifting focus of key players towards this region in order to
    strengthen their position
  • Some of the key players are Purdue Pharma L.P; West-Ward
    Pharmaceuticals Corporation; Allergan; Pfizer, Inc.; Janssen
    Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Egalet Corporation; and Sun Pharmaceutical
    Industries Limited. Most key players are focusing on entering untapped
    regions and expanding their product portfolios
