According to the report published by the Facts & Factors, global demand for the pain management therapeutics market was estimated at approximately USD 72,065.3 Million in 2020 and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 90,501.8 Million by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR of around 4.8% between 2021 and 2026.
Pain is referred to disturbing sensory and emotional sensation resultant from tissue damage or disease. Many diseases cause discomforts like multiple sclerosis, chronic arthritis, cancer, stomach ulcer, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and diabetic neuropathy. In addition, the length of pain ranges from acute pain intended for the short term to chronic pain intended for the long term. The acute pain can be mild and lasts for merely a moment, or sometimes weeks or months. Chronic pain is caused due to nerve damage or even injury, aged bone, and joint conditions. A variety of drugs are used for managing pain, which results from inflammation in response to tissue damage, chemical agents/pathogens (nociceptive pain), or nerve damage (neuropathic pain).
The increasing geriatric population is the key factor driving the market expansion of the global market because aged people are most prone to suffer from joint pain and other chronic disorders. In addition, the growing occurrence of chronic diseases like cancer, osteoarthritis, and diabetic neuropathy is fuelling the growth of the global pain management therapeutics market. Moreover, the mounting healthcare costs, different government initiatives, and the rising number of surgical procedures are other factors likely to stimulate the market development during the forecast period.
However, the patent expiration of prescription pain medication drugs, the drug exploitation, and the accessibility of substitutes like pain relief devices can slow down the market growth in the coming years. Besides, the rise in availability of a huge number of approved drugs for pain management treatment at retail pharmacies will create lucrative opportunities for the pain management therapeutics market in the near future.
The global pain management therapeutics market can be segmented into drug class, indication, pain type, and distribution channel. Based on the drug class, the global pain management therapeutics market can be classified into anesthetics, anticonvulsants, NSAIDs, anti-migraine drugs, opioids, antidepressant drugs, non-narcotics, and analgesics. In terms of indication, the global pain management therapeutics market can be divided into cancer pain, arthritic pain, acute appendicitis, neuropathic pain, chronic pain, post-operative pain, fibromyalgia, migraine, bone fracture, muscle sprain/strain, and others.
On the basis of type of pain, the global pain management therapeutics market can be bifurcated into chronic pain and acute pain. Based on the distribution channel, the global pain management therapeutics market can be segmented into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies.
