The U.S. general anesthesia drugs market is poised to reach USD 2.0 Billion by 2020 from USD 1.6 Billion in 2015, at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2015 to 2020.

Factors such as rapid rise in aging population, rising prevalence of cardiovascular and respiratory system-related diseases, and rising number of emergency surgeries are key factors driving the growth of the U.S. general anesthesia drugs market. However, side effects associated with ketamine usage (such as elevation in blood pressure and heart rate, amnesia, respiratory depression, and hallucinations), regulatory issues, and lower compliance rates in comparison with other anesthetic drugs are likely to restrain the growth of this market.

The U.S. general anesthesia drugs market is segmented on the basis of molecule and route of administration. On the basis of molecule, the market is segmented into Propofol, Benzodiazepine, Ketamine (S-(+)-Ketamine HCL), and Methohexital Sodium. Propofol is expected to be fastest-growing segment, owing to its greater preference and rapid onset of action.

On the basis of route of administration, the U.S. general anesthesia drugs market is bifurcated into intravenous and inhalational. The intravenous segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2015. Greater patient compliance and less number of side effects as compared to inhalational anesthetics are driving the growth of the market.
