Moreover, the addictive nature of opioids has led to their drug misuse while also posing various side effects including drowsiness, nausea, constipation, euphoria, confusion, and more.
According to WHO estimates, about 0.5 million deaths worldwide are a result of drug use. More than 70% of these fatalities are associated with opioids are the key factors expected to hamper the opioids market growth. Furthermore, the rise in cases of orthopedic diseases, cancer, HIV, and other diseases are the key factors that provide Opioids Market opportunity.

Analyst Review
Opioids are often referred to as narcotics and help in combating pain; however, they do not fall into the over-the-counter category of painkillers, such as aspirin and Tylenol. The most commonly prescribed opioids include OxyContin, Vicodin, and fentanyl.
According to the CXOs, the opioid market is anticipated to witness steady growth in future, owing to rise in prevalence of orthopedic diseases due to sedentary lifestyle, upsurge in geriatric population, and increase in consumption of opioids for pain management ranging from moderate to severe pain across the globe. However, consistent use of these prescribed drugs can increase person’s tolerance and addiction, requiring higher and more frequent doses, leading to opioid addiction. Thus, increase in opioid addition cases across the globe has limited their use, thereby restraining the growth of the market. The misuse and addiction to opioids, including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and hydrocodone is a serious global crisis that has affected public health as well as social and economic welfare, which has further hampered the market growth.
