U.S. Opioids MarketBy Drugs (Codeine, Fentanyl, Meperidine, Methadone, Morphine, and Hydrocodone) and Therapeutic Application (Pain Management (Neuropathic Pain, Migraine, Back Pain, Osteoarthritis Pain, Cancer Pain, and Others), Cough Treatment and Diarrhea Treatment) was valued at US$ 12,627.6 million in 2016 and is expected to exhibit CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2016–2024). 

The increasing incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases in developed countries such as U.S., easy accessibility and low cost of opioids pain killers compared to other pain killers such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen are the major factors driving the growth of the U.S. opioids market. Strict regulatory guidelines on opioids prescriptions and the rising awareness about harmful effects of the drug are likely to hamper the growth of the market. In October 2017, the government of U.S. declared the opioid crisis as a public health emergency.

This declaration has increased awareness about overuse or abuse of the drug and has led doctors to reduce over-prescription of the opioids drug. Moreover, attorney generals of more than 35 U.S. states sent a letter to America’s Health Insurance Plans, a national association whose members provide coverage for health care and related services, urging its members to reconsider coverage policies that may be fueling the growth of the opioid crisis. Due to low cost of opioids compared to other painkillers such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen, the insurance company has covered opioids (except costly ones) which resulted in limited access to costly painkillers. The attorney generals have sent a letter to modify this coverage policy so that all painkillers have equal access.

The growing focus on opioids drug has led pharmacy chains such as CVS to cooperate with the government in managing this crisis. CVS health has announced plans to reduce opioid prescription and provided detailed guidelines for its use. One such steps is that their chemists are expected to contact doctors in case of over prescription of drug.
