Global Naloxone Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Route of Administration (Oral, Injectable, and Nasal), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, and Online Pharmacies), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global naloxone market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). Naloxone is a drug that is used for the treatment of opioid overdose. Opioids are generally used for treating pain, however, opioid-containing drugs are being misused or are being consumed in overdose when patients follow self-medication. The opioid drug class comprises morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, heroin, codeine, fentanyl, and methadone. It is also employed as a cough suppressant and in diarrhea treatment. Opioids can be administered either through pills, liquids, intravenous, transdermal patches, or lozenges. Developed nations in North America and Europe have high levels of abuse of this drug. Drugs such as codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and hydrocodone have become a source of addiction, especially among the population, owing to the easy availability of drugs in these regions. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, approximately 130 people die every day as a result of opioid abuse in the US alone.
However, global organizations as well as regulatory agencies including the FDA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and World Health Organization (WHO) are working towards restricting the abuse of opioids by creating awareness and educating prescribers to be cautious while prescribing these drugs. In 2016, the CDC issued guidelines to prescribe opioids, limiting the daily dose of opioids to 90 morphine milligram equivalents (MME). Therefore, such factors are expected to spur the demand for naloxone drugs. This is further likely to augment the global naloxone market growth during the forecast period.
