Local Anesthesia Drugs Market, By Drug Type (Bupivacaine, Lidocaine, Benzocaine, Ropivacaine, Prilocaine, Chloroprocaine, and Others), By Mode Of Administration (Injectable and Surface Anesthetic), and By Geography (North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2021 - 2028
Local anaesthesia involves numbing an area of the body using a type of medicine called a local anaesthetic. It is a type of pain control used during minor procedures to numb small area where the pain is likely to occur. The use of long-acting local anesthetic prolongs the anesthetic effect of regional anesthesia. Local anesthesia drugs can be used to treat painful conditions, prevent pain during a procedure or operation, or relieve pain after surgery. Local anesthetics are much safer to use, but have fewer side effects compared to general anesthetics.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing use of local anesthesia drugs across the globe due to increase in number of surgeries and increasing use of local anesthetic for post-operative pain is expected to augment the growth of the global local anesthesia drugs market over the forecast period. For instance, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2020, over 6.8 million reconstructive procedures, 13.2 million cosmetic minimally invasive procedures, and around 2.3 million cosmetic surgical procedures were performed in the United States.
Moreover, in May 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first extended-release dual acting local anesthetic of bupivacaine and meloxicam for pain management.
