Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription pain relievers like oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, morphine, fentanyl, and others. They work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and body to relieve pain. Since the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to opioid pain relievers, and healthcare providers began prescribing them at greater rates, which led to widespread overuse and increased addiction rates. This resulted in the current epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths in the U.S.

Market Dynamics:

The U.S. opioids market is driven by the growing prevalence of chronic pain conditions in an aging population, as well as the risks of dependence and addiction associated with long term use. However, the market has also witnessed regulations and reforms to curb overprescribing and mitigate risks. Increased education of doctors and public about the judicious use of opioids present an opportunity to shift toward more balanced pain management approaches. Meanwhile, alternative therapies and non-opioid drugs are emerging as attractive alternatives to opioids for pain relief. Development of abuse-deterrent formulations also provides opportunities, though high development costs are a restraint.
