Global Benzodiazepine Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.30% by 2030

Market Highlights

Benzodiazepines (BZD) are a class of psychoactive drugs with sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties. Benzodiazepines (BZD) are useful in treating anxiety, insomnia, agitation, seizures, muscle spasms and alcohol withdrawal.

The sale of Benzodiazepine has been declining due to their addictive side effects and the rise of alternate drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. However the last few years have witnessed a moderate rise in the sale of Benzodiazepines. The lack of efficacy and slow onset of action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors along with the fear of falling back on first generation anti-psychotic (barbiturate class) drugs have negated any market moves against Benzodiazepines. Development of short acting Benzodiazepines is an additional advantage in favour of barbiturates.

Some more restraints hampering the market growth are highly competitive and segmented market and a shift towards non-pharmacological therapies.
