Analgesics Market estimated value of around USD 50.7 Bn growth of 6.6% CAGR from 2023 to 2030

According to the report, the global analgesics industry was estimated at $26.7 billion in 2020, and is anticipated to hit $50.7 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.6% from 2021 to 2030. The study analyzes the important strategies, drivers, competition, market dynamics, size, and important investment regions.

Key Takeaways:

Market Growth: The analgesics market has been experiencing steady growth in recent years. Factors such as the increasing prevalence of chronic pain conditions, rising geriatric population, and the growing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers are driving market expansion.

Opioids Dominance: Opioids have traditionally been the most commonly prescribed and used analgesics for severe pain management. However, concerns over opioid addiction and abuse have led to increased scrutiny and regulatory measures, resulting in a shift towards alternative pain management options.

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): NSAIDs are a widely used class of analgesics that provide pain relief and reduce inflammation. They are available both as prescription drugs and OTC medications. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen sodium are commonly used for various conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and menstrual pain.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Analgesics: The availability of OTC analgesics without a prescription has contributed significantly to the market growth. Common OTC analgesics include acetaminophen (paracetamol) and NSAIDs. These products offer convenience and ease of access for consumers seeking relief from mild to moderate pain.

Topical Analgesics: Topical analgesics, including creams, gels, patches, and sprays, have gained popularity as an alternative to oral medications. They provide localized pain relief, particularly for musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis and sports injuries. Topical analgesics often contain ingredients like menthol, capsaicin, or salicylates.

Market Drivers:

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Pain: Chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis, lower back pain, neuropathic pain, and cancer-related pain, have become more prevalent globally. The aging population, sedentary lifestyles, and rising incidence of chronic diseases contribute to the higher demand for analgesics.

Growing Geriatric Population: The global aging population is a significant driver of the analgesics market. Older adults often experience higher rates of chronic pain due to age-related conditions like osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. The elderly segment requires effective pain management, leading to increased consumption of analgesic medications.

Regional Growth Dynamics:

By region, the market across North America had the lion’s share in 2020, generating nearly one-third of the global analgesics market, owing to increase in demand for non-opioids drugs, presence of key players, and development in R&D activities in the healthcare sector in the province. The Asia-Pacific region, on the other hand, is projected to portray the fastest CAGR of 7.3% by 2030. This is due to rise in awareness about the use of analgesic drugs, growth in healthcare expenditures, and surge in adoption of analgesic products.
