The chronic pain market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC’s new report titled “Chronic Pain Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034”. Chronic pain is long-standing pain that lasts beyond the usual recovery period or coexists with a chronic health condition. Inflammation or damaged nerves can both contribute to the pain. It is also caused by a disease or injury but is considered a separate condition, along with its medical definition and taxonomy. Chronic pain syndrome affects both the physical and mental health of patients. While the pain can be near-constant, there might be flares or intense pain as a result of an increase in stress or activity. The symptoms include joint pain, muscle aches, burning pain, fatigue, sleep problems, loss of stamina or flexibility due to decreased activity, etc. Chronic pain is hard to diagnose and is considered subjective; therefore, only the individual experiencing it can identify and describe it. The diagnosis is usually made by physically examining the body of the patient and performing tests that can assess the cause of the pain. It includes blood tests, electromyography to test muscular activity, imaging tests such as X-rays and MRIs, spinal fluid tests, etc.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritis, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, etc., is primarily driving the chronic pain market. In addition to this, the expanding geriatric population, who are more susceptible to developing such ailments, is further bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the escalating need for over-the-counter medications and the strong networking of retail pharmacies are also acting as significant growth-inducing factors. Besides this, the emerging popularity of alternative pain relief therapies owing to the escalating awareness regarding the potential implication of prolonged use of pain treatment drugs, including the risk of addiction and other side effects, is further catalyzing the global market. Furthermore, the inflating requirement to reduce the demand-supply gap for effective neuropathic pain management drugs is encouraging the key players to develop innovative and advanced therapies, which is also stimulating the market growth. Apart from this, several pharmaceutical companies are investing in R&D activities to introduce analgesics or painkillers that are more effective, economically viable, and easier to administer. This, in turn, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Additionally, the rising emphasis on improving medications to simplify treatments and reduce adverse effects, especially for the elderly and pediatric population, is expected to fuel the chronic pain market in the coming years.
