Naloxone is available in two U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved forms: injection and nasal spray. It is crucial to be educated on how and when to administer naloxone regardless of the type of medication being utilized. Those who are physically dependent on opioids may experience withdrawal symptoms minutes after receiving naloxone. Headaches, variations in blood pressure, a rapid heartbeat, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and tremors are examples of withdrawal symptoms. Although uncomfortable, this normally does not pose a life-threatening threat.
Market Dynamics
High prevalence of opioid overdose and increasing opioid crises in the U.S. are expected to fuel demand for naloxone in the region and thus, driving the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the data published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2021, U.S. federal government research institute, in the year 2019, about 50,000 people died from opioid-involved overdoses in the U.S. The addiction and misuse of opioids including heroin, synthetic opioids (fentanyl), and prescription pain relievers is a severe national crisis which affects social & economic welfare, and public health.
Market players are focused on product launches and approvals, which is expected to drive growth of the global naloxone market over the forecast period. For instance, in February 2019, Indivior Inc., a U.S. affiliate of Indivior Plc., launched an authorized generic version of SUBOXONE (naloxone and buprenorphine) sublingual film in the U.S. This authorized generic is being distributed and marketed on Indivior’s behalf by Sandoz Inc., one of the leading providers of generic pharmaceuticals and biosimilars.
Increasing initiatives by governments related to use and distribution of naloxone is expected to fuel growth of the global naloxone market. For instance, in February 2018, Loyola Medicine and the U.S. based Cook County Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management collaborated, where Loyola Medicine trained police to use Narcan in the case of opioids overdose. Moreover, in 2017, Ontario government provided naloxone kits to police and fire departments in Ontario, Canada, to manage emergency case of opioid overdose. Government of Canada offered naloxone kits to all 61 police services and 447 fire departments in the Ontario province.
