Market Insights:

Opioids are a drug class including a broad range of drugs such as morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, hydrocodone, and others with widened applications in pain management. Opioid drugs produce effective results by interacting with opioid receptors present in nerve cells. Globally, millions of people have been suffering from acute or chronic pain, thus having a huge impact on domestic healthcare expenditure and supporting the growth opportunity of the opioid drug market. Significant risk is associated with the misuse of opioid drugs; therefore, it is recommended that these drugs be taken in the proper dose and under the appropriate conditions, with a physician’s prescription.

Global sales of opioid drugs are greatly influenced by epidemiological factors such as the high prevalence of cancer and chronic disorders. The growing elderly population, who are at high risk of suffering from mild to moderate pain, is also driving the opioid drug market. Trends toward purchasing over-the-counter opioid drugs and surging demand for recreational drugs are predicted to boost the growth of the opioid drug market. Deaths caused by opioid overdose have been escalating in recent years, which is an epidemic in the United States. As per the record of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opioids caused the deaths of more than 33,000 people in 2015, and more than half of them were due to prescribed opioids.

The rapidly rising trend of opioid overdose and addiction has emerged as a global health concern, and many initiatives have been launched by governments and healthcare organizations to halt the growth of the opioid drug market. Market penetration of non-opioid drugs to avoid side effects and risks associated with opioid drugs also limits the opioid drug market’s growth opportunity.

The global opioid drugs market has been segmented on the basis of drug type and application type. Opioid drugs are classified into morphine, methadone, codeine, oxycodone, meperidine, fentanyl, and others, whereas, as per application, the market is categorized into pain management, cough suppression, anesthesia, and diarrhea. This report is comprised of the cross-sectional details of every segment and sub-segment, containing data for the base year of 2016 and projected to 2025 with a corresponding CAGR calculated from 2017 to 2025.

The report on the global opioid drugs market offers detailed market insights and a comprehensive analysis of market dynamics, comprising market drivers, restraints, and opportunities, with future prospects for the opioid drugs market to allow industry experts to identify business opportunities and valuable information about the prevailing trend of the market to make business decisions. A competitive landscape analysis of manufacturers with mergers and acquisitions activities, major partnerships, and collaboration has been delivered in the study to develop accurate business strategies.

Actavis Plc., Boehringer Ingelheim, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., Egalet, Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc., Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Inc., Pfizer Inc., Purdue Pharma, Sanofi, and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. is a few of the major manufacturers of the global opioid drugs market. This research report includes detailed profiles of these players, as well as a brief description and financial data.

Based on the wide application range of opioid drugs, this market is categorized as follows:

Pain Management
Cough Suppressant
Diarrhea
Anesthesia

Pain management is estimated to be the spearheading segment as a result of the effective outcomes of opioid drugs. Opioid drugs play an important role in treating acute or chronic pain. The World Health Organization stated that 80% of cancer or AIDS patients and around 67% of patients suffering from pulmonary disease and cardiovascular diseases need medical intervention to relieve pain, and this high trend drives the opioid drug market. The opioid codeine is used as the “gold standard” for cough suppression. However, the FDA’s strict regulation of opioid drug use in pediatric patients has a negative impact on the global opioid drug market. Opioid drugs are effective for treating chronic diarrhea by lengthening the time it takes to pass stool from the gut; furthermore, the severe side effects of opioid drugs on inducing constipation might hinder the demand for opioid drugs. Opioid drugs are largely used as an anesthetic agent, especially in cardiovascular surgical procedures, and with the increasing number of surgical interventions, the market for opioid drugs is expected to witness major growth.

Based on the drug types, the global market for opioid drugs has been classified as follows:

Morphine
Methadone
Codeine
Oxycodone
Meperidine
Fentanyl
Other opioid drugs

Morphine and codeine are the most commonly used opioid drugs, and they contribute significantly to the global opioid drugs market. Morphine is widely used in the treatment of moderate to severe pain. The rising prevalence of cancer, arthritis, and chronic pain, and increased recreational use of morphine are driving the global market for opioid drugs; however, the drug’s side effects and risks may have an impact on the market’s growth. Surging demand for codeine in pain relief and cough suppression fuels the growth of the opioid drugs market; however, strict action against illegal, over-the-counter codeine drug use is expected to have an impact on the global opioid drugs market in the coming years. Methadone is gaining popularity due to its effective treatment of opioid addiction by reducing withdrawal symptoms and diminishing cravings, thus supporting market growth. Fentanyl is more potent in the treatment of severe pain; the demand for this drug in the treatment of surgical pain, as well as its increasing addiction, has driven global opioid drug sales.

Geographically, the global opioid drugs market is cumulative for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.North America is predicted to experience the largest growth due to the continuous increase in demand for opioid drugs, followed by Europe. The National Institutes of Health has reported that in 2015, around 50 million Americans were suffering from severe chronic pain. Such a high prevalence of acute and chronic pain acts as the major driver of the opioid drug market in North America. According to the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP), 80% of global opioid drugs are being consumed in the United States; such a high consumption rate and the overall increment in retail sales over the last two decades have driven the opioid drug market in this region.

In terms of commercial growth, increasing illicit use of opioid drugs such as heroin fuels the opioid drug market. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), opioid overdose killed approximately 28,000 people in the United States in 2014. To fight against this epidemic, several initiatives have been taken by the government to prevent opioid overdose and dependence, which are expected to affect the overall growth of the opioid drug market. Europe is expected to experience steady growth as a result of lower non-medical usage of opioids than the United States and strict vigilance against opioid abuse.

Furthermore, rapid development in healthcare expenditure and attention to palliative care for therapy are expected to promote the growth of the opioid drug market in the Asia Pacific. The boom in the market for opioids in China is due to the increasing rate of cancer cases and rising surgical interventions.
