Opioid Use Disorder Market Worth $4.5 Billion By 2026 | CAGR: 10.1%

The global opioid use disorder market size is expected to reach USD 4.5 billion by 2026, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 10.1% over the forecast period. Rising opioid epidemic and growing government initiatives to combat the crisis are likely to propel market growth. In addition, growing commercialization of novel products is further anticipated to drive growth. In 2018, about 2.9 million people aged 15 or above were suffering from this disorder in the U.S. In 2016, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), in the U.S., around 11.5 million people had abused prescription opioids in the earlier year and more than 2 million were addicted to prescribed drugs.

According to the CDC, around 130 Americans die every day due to the opioid overdose and the U.S. government has designated this as a public health emergency.For patients wanting to overcome their addiction, adherence to a Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) can reduce the withdrawal symptoms and cut the risk of death by half. Three U.S. FDA-approved MAT options are buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. They are available in numerous dosages and formulations, with daily oral buprenorphine as the standard of care.

To combat the opioid crisis, several measures have been undertaken in recent years. For instance, in 2016, CDC clinical practice guidelines for prescribing these drugs for chronic pain were issued and new American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) National Practice Guidelines was adopted in 2015 to improve standard of care. Furthermore, in 2016, the U.S. FDA announced plans to overhaul its regulations for abuse-deterrent opioids, enhance safety labeling, and re-examine the risk-benefit paradigm of their use.
