Persistence Market Research (PMR) delivers key insights on the Global Opioids Market in its latest report titled "Global Market Study on Opioids: Widespread Usage in Treatment of Cancer to Drive the Growth of Opioids Market during the Forecast Period". The global opioids market is anticipated to exhibit a stable CAGR during the forecast period (2015-2021).

By product type, the global opioids market is segmented into morphine, codeine, fentanyl, meperidine and methadone. Morphine segment was the largest contributor in overall opioids market, accounting for around 36% share in 2014. However, fentanyl segment is expected to register fastest CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period. Synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, meperidine and methadone have lucrative growth opportunities in opioids market, owing to their potential application in opioid substitution treatment and fewer side effects as compared to natural opioids. By application, the global opioids market is segmented into analgesia, cough suppression, and diarrhea suppression. Analgesia segment comprises numerous conditions namely, anesthesia, surgical pain, injury or trauma, cancer pain and pain arising from diseases. The analgesia segment accounted for around 67% share in overall opioids market in 2014 and is expected to register fastest CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period.

Global opioids market growth is mainly driven by increasing demand for opioids in non-cancer pain management, rising geriatric populations suffering from terminal conditions, uncontrolled prescription of opioids especially in North America, and increasing healthcare expenditure for post-surgical care. Moreover, increasing the incidence of trauma injuries, raising awareness about palliative care, higher efficacy of synthetic opioids and favorable reimbursement policies for post-operative care are fueling the growth of opioids market, globally. However, chronic side effects associated with long-term consumption, limited availability of opioids in Asia Pacific, Africa and certain countries in Europe, high level of abusive consumption and growing adoption for pain-free surgeries are likely to impede the growth of global opioids market to a certain extent. Also, the over-regulated environment for the commercial use of opioids especially in developing countries such as India and China and lack of awareness for palliative care in these countries is projected to hamper the growth of the opioids market to a large extent.
