Growing consumer need for painkillers is a major driver of industry expansion. According to National Health data, 100 million procedures are performed annually in the United States. The excessive consumption of painkillers is mostly caused by the rising number of surgeries performed worldwide. Similar to how the prevalence of cancer therapy-related pain is rising, the market is expanding due to an aging and growing geriatric population having various surgeries. Thus, this factor is driving the market CAGR.


Road accidents are predicted to increase over the upcoming years due to an increase in automobiles. Additionally, many people need to take observing traffic laws seriously. Future demand for postoperative pain management is expected to be driven by increased traffic accidents, relative trauma injuries, and pain management after surgeries.

For such auto accidents, painkillers will be more readily available. These elements are causing the major players to increase their output, ultimately resulting in positive market growth for postoperative pain relief.

Similar to this, greater non-narcotic drug discovery and commercialization and growing awareness of post-surgery pain management support market expansion. Thus, it is anticipated that this aspect will accelerate Post-Operative Pain Management market revenue globally.
