The global pain management drugs market was valued at $65,963.1 million in 2019, and is estimated to reach $85,549.3 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 3.9% from 2020 to 2027. Pain is a distressing sensory and emotional sensation, which is caused by tissue injury or disease. Moreover, different disorders may cause discomfort, such as multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, stomach ulcer, chronic arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, and cancer. The length of the pain would range from acute pain for short term to chronic pain for long term. Acute pain is a sudden onset of pain when chronic pain is caused by aged bone & joint conditions, nerve damage, or injury. Pain management involves reducing or treating pain by using a given range of medications. There are several medicines available, which provide pain relief through a variety of physiological mechanisms such as targeting nociceptors.
Rise in geriatric population is the major factor that drives growth of the global pain management market, as aged people are more prone to suffer from joint pain and other chronic conditions. For instance, prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer is on the rise. As per the National Cancer Institute, almost 20 to 50% of people with cancer suffer from pain. Around 80% of patients with advanced stage cancer suffer from moderate to severe pain. Moreover, surge in prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, diabetic neuropathy, and osteoarthritis propels the market growth. Furthermore, rise in number of surgical procedures and rise in healthcare expenditure are expected to fuel growth of the market. However, drug exploitation, patent expiration of prescription pain medication drugs, and availability of substitutes such as pain relief devices restrain the market growth.
