Surging Chronic Pain Incidence Boosts Asia Pacific Opioids Market

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, musculoskeletal diseases, and neurovascular diseases critically affect a person's health by lowering immunity. Moreover, many patients suffering from these conditions experiences chronic pain. The diseases mentioned above are most common in adults and the geriatric population. Nevertheless, cases of these diseases are noticeably growing among children as well. Chronic pain is also common among sportspersons, athletes, and individuals living with past injuries. According to a study published in the NCBI (i.e., National Center for Biotechnology Information), 20% of adults suffer from pain worldwide, and 10% are newly diagnosed with chronic pain per year. While pain affects all populations, regardless of sex, race/ethnicity, income, age, or geography, it is not distributed equally across the world. Prescription opioids, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine, are potent pain-reducing medications that are used to treat pain caused by injuries, surgeries, and health conditions such as cancer and arthritis.

Increased opioid prescribing practices can be attributed to the insurance reimbursement programs that incentivize opioids over alternative pain treatments, cost structures that encourage more efficient care, and evaluations that combine patient satisfaction with effective pain management. Therefore, owing to the advantage of opioids in pain management, the demand is rising among patients with chronic diseases.

Asia Pacific Opioids Market Overview

The growing geriatric population in China suffering from terminal illnesses is estimated to significantly increase the demand for opioids. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), the country has one of the fastest-growing aging populations. Per the same source, 254 million people were aged 60 and above in 2019 and 176 million people were aged 65 and above. Also, ~28% of the population (402 million people) in China is expected to be aged 60 and above by 2040 due to increasing life expectancy and decreasing birth rates. Geriatric populations are more likely to experience chronic health conditions that are associated with pain, such as arthritis, back pain, cancer, etc. In such cases, opioids are used to manage chronic pain in older adults, which significantly influence the growth of the Asia Pacific opioids market in China. In China, the number of new cancer patients suffering from severe pathological pain has significantly increased. As per a study, "Impact of Continuing Medical Education for Physicians on the Quality of Cancer Pain Treatment in China," published in 2020, the government of China encourages the use of opioid analgesics for the treatment of moderate to severe cancer pain, which is widely available in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals across the country. As opioids are a major part of a three-step analgesic ladder and are recommended for relieving moderate and severe cancer pain, increasing awareness regarding such medical conditions and associated treatment can improve the treatment plan for cancer pain.
