According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Analgesics Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028," the global analgesics market reached a value of US$ 51.8 Billion in 2022. Analgesics refers to a class of drugs that help relieve pain without blocking nerve impulse conduction, affecting consciousness or altering sensory perception. They function by limiting the transmission of pain signals to the brain and interfering with its ability to interpret those signals. Derived from salicylic acid and phenacetin, some common analgesics include acetaminophen, aspirin, paracetamol, COX inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioid drugs. They are widely used to treat post-operative pain, inflammation, menstrual cramps, neuropathic conditions, headache, cancer treatment, and injuries, such as fractured bones.

Global Analgesics Market Trends:

The growing demand for pain management therapeutics, such as analgesics, across the globe can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of various chronic and lifestyle disorders, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, toothache, headache, sore muscles and arthritis, particularly among the rising geriatric population. They are widely used to treat moderate to acute pain associated with these medical conditions, which, in turn, is driving the market growth. Apart from this, various product innovations, such as the development of safer opioids with immediate and effective pain relief and enhanced efficacy and fewer side effects, are providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Additionally, various pharmaceutical companies are collaborating with e-commerce platforms to enable the delivery of analgesics and other drugs to the doorstep of consumers, especially during the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and the consequent imposition of mandatory lockdowns, which, in turn, is contributing to the market growth. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities to engineer novel combinations of the drug and the implementation of various government initiatives to increase awareness regarding effective pain management, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 67.4 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% during 2023-2028.
