Market Analysis and Size

Pain management is an essential part of medical treatment. Migraine, lower back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, localised musculoskeletal pain, and localised neuropathic pain are all examples of chronic pain syndromes. While opioids may be acceptable for acute or chronic pain related to palliative or end-of-life care, as well as current cancer therapy, there are also non-opioid pain management choices. Non-opioid pain treatment is an option for mild to moderate pain. Non-opioid pain relief is available without a prescription and as over-the-counter medications.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Non-Opioid Pain Treatment Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis

The rising global prevalence of osteoarthritis, fueled by the ageing population, joint injuries, obesity, repeated stress on the joint, genetics, metabolic illnesses, and bone abnormalities, is expected to fuel demand for non-opioid pain treatment patches. It is the most prevalent type of arthritis, and it most commonly affects the knees, hips, and hands. According to the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance (OAAA), approximately 54.4 million adults in the United States have some type of arthritis, with that number anticipated to rise to 78 million by 2040. Osteoarthritis affects roughly 32.5 million persons in the United States. This tendency is expected to continue in many regions of the world in the future years, propelling the market forward.

• Increasing cases of cancer

Breast, bowel, colorectal, and lung cancer cases are predicted to increase in the next years, propelling the industry forward. The market is expected to benefit from increased awareness among governments in various countries about the availability of novel non-opioid heat patches for the treatment of cancer-related pain. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer will kill approximately 10 million people worldwide in 2020. Breast cancer claimed over 6,85, 000 lives in the same year, while liver cancer claimed 8,30,000 lives and lung cancer claimed 1.80 million lives. This showcases that the prevalence of cancer is set to surge at a fast pace in the near future, which would drive the market.

• High cases of chronic pain-related conditions

The rising prevalence of chronic pain in India is expected to push the non-opioid pain patch market in South Asia. The market is expected to benefit from the government's increasing investments in the construction of a well-established healthcare infrastructure to treat pain-related disorders. Scientists from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Homi Bhabha National Institute, for example, undertook a study in December 2018 to better understand the effect and magnitude of chronic pain across Southeast Asia. A total of 4326 Indian patients were screened, with 836 of them completing a pain questionnaire. Females had a higher incidence (25.2%) than males, and the prevalence increased dramatically among persons aged 65 and up. The numbers are estimated to grow in the near future, thereby augmenting the demand for non-opioid heat patches in India. 

Opportunities

Another important factor expected to boost the market is the growing demand for non-opioid pain management patches due to their ability to reduce the risk of addiction when compared to fentanyl patches when released over a lengthy period of time. In the foreseeable future, the rising demand for minimally invasive therapies is likely to boost growth.

 Restraints/Challenges

However, factors such as high cost of patent drugs and use of opioids in various under developed and developing countries will hinder the non-opioid pain treatment market.

COVID-19 Impact on Non-Opioid Pain Treatment Market

The impact of COVID-19 on the non-opioid pain therapy market is being actively monitored by the QMI team. The clinic's services were severely impacted by the nationwide lockdown and continued rise in infection rates across the country. Many pain and clinic services have seen a decrease in patient visits as a result of COVID-19, resulting in less client engagement. In COVID-19, several clinics and pain services saw a drop in the number of visits.

Recent Development

• In January 2021, a Duke-led team of scientists developed a biocompatible surgical patch that delivers non-opioid medicines to the wound site for days before dissolving. The novel polymer patch administers a regulated release of a medication that blocks the enzyme COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2,) which is responsible for inflammation and pain.
• In July 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States has approved an 8 percent capsaicin patch for the treatment of neuropathic pain in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy of the feet. The patch is a non-opioid, non-systemic, and topical pain therapy that is thought to be the sole way to deliver prescription-strength capsaicin to the patient's skin.
