Common narcotics analgesics include morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, fentanyl and others.

The global Narcotics Analgesics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 31.64 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the narcotics analgesics market is the rising adoption of abuse-deterrent formulations (ADFs) of opioid drugs. ADFs are designed to prevent intentional misuse and abuse of opioid pain medications by making them difficult to crush, break, chewing, dissolve or inject for unintended routes of administration while maintaining intended pharmacological effect when taken orally as prescribed. This helps reducing the risk of opioid overdose and abuse. Several pharmaceutical companies are focusing on developing ADFs of popular opioid drugs like oxycodone to address the opioid epidemic.
