Global Acetaminophen-Opioid Combination Market Growth Accelerating Due to an Impressive USD 4,522.6 Million by 2034 Increased Usage in Cancer-Related Pain: Future Market Insights

Germany's acetaminophen-opioid combination market is expected to grow at a 3.0% CAGR from 2024 to 2034. Increasing cancer incidence and advanced healthcare infrastructure drive rising demand for these pain management products.


NEWARK, Del, Aug. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global acetaminophen-opioid combination market is on a promising trajectory, with expectations to grow from USD 3,144.1 million in 2024 to an impressive USD 4,522.6 million by 2034. This robust expansion is forecasted at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% over the next decade.

Acetaminophen in combination with opioid derivative are highly used in the management of cancer-related pain. Pain is one of the most common symptoms experienced by people suffering cancer. This pain can be caused by various therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, surgeries or due to can itself. As the prevalence of cancer increases, more and more people will suffer from cancer-related pain. This will increase the usage of acetaminophen and opioids combination products for management of cancer-related pain

For instance, in March 2023, according to an article published in JAMA network, an open-access medical journal, around 25 billion acetaminophen doses, either alone or in combination preparations with prescription opioid medications are sold in the U.S. annually. Thus, as the prevalence of cancer increases the demand for proper cancer-related pain management also increases, such as acetaminophen-opioid combination products which will boost the market growth even further.

For instance, according to the article published in March 2024, by the World Health Organization (WHO) worldwide around 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and around 670,000 women died from breast cancer in the year 2022.

Moreover, advances in pharmacogenomics are paving the way for more personalized pain management strategies. This trend may lead to more targeted use of acetaminophen-opioid combinations, where dosages and formulations are tailored to individual patient profiles which can further enhance effectiveness and safety of such medication. This will further increase their adoption.
