Although the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a reduction of selective procedures and surgeries, which leads to a decreasing sale of after-surgical pain killers, COVID-19-related symptoms such as muscle or body aches are driving the demand during the pandemic. In 2022, the global Analgesics market reached US$30.93 billion and recovered from a slight decline in 2020 brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another significant trend is the prevalence of chronic diseases, which leads to a growing demand for analgesics used by people suffering from chronic and severe pain. The growth of the Analgesics market is restricted by legislation, as the restriction on opioid analgesics differs from country to country.

In the forecast period, the market exhibits steady growth at a CAGR of around 6%, mainly based on the globally growing share of the elderly population and the correspondingly increasing demand. The global Analgesics market is expected to reach US$42.65 billion in 2027.
