The global drug addiction treatment market has been witnessing steady growth in the recent past owing to the rising prevalence of drug abuse across both developed and developing nations worldwide. In June 2020, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), around 269 million people worldwide used drugs at least once in 2020. The easy availability of illicit substances coupled with socio-economic vulnerabilities has significantly contributed to the drug addiction crisis. In response, governments across countries have been ramping up efforts to provide evidence-based treatment services to help individuals overcome substance use disorders. This has majorly driven the demand for various pharmacological and psychological addiction treatment drugs and therapies in the global drug addiction treatment market.
Market Dynamics:
The key drivers propelling the global drug addiction treatment market growth include growing social acceptance of drug abuse disorders as a medical condition requiring treatment instead of criminalization, increasing healthcare spending by governments to expand treatment facilities, and rising number of opioid analgesic users contributing to the opioid crisis. However, factors such as lack of social support programs post-detoxification, stigma associated with substance abuse treatment, and scarcity of medical professionals with specialized addiction treatment training pose challenges to market players. On the positive side, ongoing research for novel treatment drugs with better safety and efficacy profiles as well as integration of digital technologies in counseling programs present high-growth opportunities for stakeholders.
