Global Opioids Market is valued at approximately USD 22.66 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 1.2% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Opioids are medical agents that act on opioid receptors to cause morphine effects, which are used for pain relief, including anaesthesia. The market growth is driven by the factors such as increasing incidences of chronic pain among the population, a rise in consumption of these drugs to combat pain, coupled with the escalating geriatric population.

The rising number of product approval and the introduction of novel opioid medicines to cure patients suffering from chronic pain are acting as catalyzing factors for the growth of the market. For instance, in August 2020, Olinvyk (oliceridine) injection developed by Trevena, Inc., received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. This new injection is developed to treat adults with acute pain that costs around USD 194 for a supply of 10 ml. Thereby, the rising launch of opioids-associated therapeutics with regulatory approvals is exhibiting a positive influence on market growth across the world. Moreover, growing investments in R&D activities, as well as the increasing healthcare expenditure are presenting various lucrative opportunities over the forecasting years. However, the execution of stringent government regulations for opioid prescription and the rise in opioid addiction (opioid crisis) is restricting the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.

The key regions considered for the Global Opioids Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the rising increasing approval of opioid-based medicines, along with the unmet medical needs. Whereas, the Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period, owing to factors such as the increasing number of initiatives undertaken by the government, as well as rising focus on providing high-quality opioids intended for pain management in the market space.
