The CLBP treatment market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. CLBP is a significant health issue globally, with numerous key drivers contributing to its prevalence. Some of the key factors includes obesity, injury, occupational hazards, psychological and genetic disorders are driving the CLBP instances globally.
However, the serious adverse effects of CLBP medications and negligence regarding the occurrence and complications of CLBP may limit the revenue growth of the market, owing to the excessive abuse of opioid.

This presents an opportunity for manufacturers to develop and produce non-opioid medications that can effectively manage chronic low back pain without the risk of addiction or misuse. By addressing this critical requirement, manufacturers can not only improve the lives of those suffering from chronic pain but also contribute to combatting the opioid epidemic. For instance, in December 2020, a new formulation of meloxicam (Qmiiz ODT) was approved by the FDA, is an NSAIDs manufactured by Lupin Ltd. This is an orally disintegrating tablet that rapidly dissolves in the mouth without the required water.
