The opioid market growth is majorly driven by surge in consumption of these drugs to combat pain and rise in geriatric population that are more prone to orthopedic pain. In addition, upsurge in disposable income in developing economies such as India, China, and others contribute to the growth of the market. However, surge in opioid addiction (opioid crisis) across the globe and implementation of stringent government regulation for opioid prescription are the factors anticipated to hamper the market growth. In addition, increase in death rates owing to the overdose of these drugs is a major factor restraining the market growth. For instance, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, more than 130 people in the U.S. die daily on overdosing of opioids.
Based on opioid market analysis, the oxycodone segment accounted for 23% of the share in 2018 and is expected to exhibit a prominent growth rate in the near future, owing to its increased intake across the globe for pain management. By application, the pain management segment dominated the opioid market in 2018 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in incidence of migraine, back pain, cancer pain, and others, which in turn fuels the adoption of opioids drugs.
