Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) - Epidemiology Forecast–2032

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) - Epidemiology Forecast–2032

Key Highlights

Opioid use disorder is the chronic use of opioids that causes clinically significant distress or impairment. It consists of an overpowering desire to use opioids, increased opioid tolerance, and withdrawal syndrome when discontinued.

In 2022, the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) was observed in the United States among the 7MM.

As per severity-specific cases, it was observed that mild cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) formed the highest number of cases across the 7MM region.

In 2022, males accounted for most of the cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in the 7MM.

In 2022, most patients of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in the 7MM were 18–25 years of age.

DelveInsight’s “Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) – Epidemiology Forecast – 2032” report delivers an in-depth understanding of the Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), historical and forecasted epidemiology in the United States, EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, and France) and the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Understanding and Diagnostic Algorithm

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Overview

Repeated substance use that creates problems in a person’s home, work, or school life is a Substance Use Disorder (SUD), a treatable mental health condition. The United States loses nearly 185 people every day to substance overdose deaths. Opioids are involved in almost 70% of the lives lost due to substance overdoses, equating to almost 47,000 opioid-related deaths in 2018 alone. Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a type of SUD defined by the repeated use of opioids. The economic burden of OUD and fatal opioid overdose is estimated to be over one billion dollars annually in the US when accounting for healthcare and treatment, criminal justice, lost productivity, reduced quality of life, and value of life lost costs. OUD significantly impacts the lives of individuals who experience OUD, families and loved ones, and communities nationwide.

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Diagnosis

A diagnosis is based on specific criteria such as unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control use, as well as use resulting in social problems and a failure to fulfill obligations at work, school, or home. The term opioid use disorder superseded the phrases opioid abuse and opioid dependence in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). The DSM-5 assesses the severity of opioid use disorder based on the frequency of recurrent symptoms reported during the previous 12 months.

Note: Further details related to diagnosis are provided in the report.

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) Epidemiology

The epidemiology forecast model of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) for the 7MM is based on the use of the prevalence of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in the overall population to calculate the prevalent cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). From this, the diagnosis rate was applied to calculate the diagnosed prevalent cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).

The Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total prevalent cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), gender-specific cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), age-specific cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), and severity-specific cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

The total prevalent cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in the 7MM were approximately 3,971,300 cases in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecast period (2023–2032).

The age-specific cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) were divided into 12–17 years, 18–25 years, and 26 and above age segments. It was observed that the 18–25 years age segment comprised the maximum number of cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).

In 2022, the United Kingdom accounted for ~474,500 prevalent cases of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD).

In 2022, it was observed that the United States accounted for ~1,184,000 cases in males and ~934,000 cases in females.
