Availability
of Low-cost Generic Opioids to Augment the Growth of the Generic Opioids
Segment
The
product segment of the Pain Management Drugs industry is bifurcated into
NSAIDs, Branded Opioids, Generic Opioids, and Others. Prescription of short
term generic opioids post-surgery, which are available at affordable prices is
likely to augment the growth of the Generic Opioids segment. The application
segment is segmented into Drugstore, clinics, and hospitals.
North
America is Likely to Grab the Largest Share of the Market
North
America is expected to grab the largest share of the market followed by Europe due
to high awareness in patients regarding health and the availability of pain
relief medicines. The implementation of favorable regulatory laws by the U.S.
Government to promote healthcare is expected to contribute to the growth of the
market.
Factors
such as the increasing prevalence of diseases, the presence of a large number
of patients requiring surgeries, and increased spending on healthcare in
developing countries such as India and China are likely to boost the growth of
the Pain Management Drugs industry in the Asia-Pacific.
