Pain Patch Market Outlook (2024 to 2034)

The global pain patch market is projected to reach a size of US$ 5.89 billion in 2024 and thereafter forecasted to touch a valuation of US$ 12.87 billion by the end of 2034. Sales are projected to increase at a CAGR of 8.1% between 2024 and 2034.

The market for pain patches is growing significantly due to the rising prevalence of chronic pain diseases, such as fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, arthritis, and others. The number of people seeking treatment for chronic pain is driving up demand for pain patches and other effective management solutions. Transdermal delivery system technological developments are enhancing pain patches' effectiveness and safety. Better analgesic distribution to the site of pain is made possible by advancements in formulations and medication absorption techniques, improving patient results and satisfaction.

Increasing patients' preference for non-invasive pain management techniques is rising more relative to oral drugs and injections because of concerns about adverse effects and addiction potential. Pain patches are a desirable alternative for people looking for efficient pain management without intrusive procedures since they provide a practical and easy-to-use solution.

North America is analyzed to account for 35.2% of the global pain patch market share in 2024 due to the well-established healthcare system and increasing rate of chronic pain. Western Europe is estimated to generate revenue worth US$ 1.35 billion in 2024 due to increasing demand for pain management solutions in countries, including Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. In addition, strict regulations governing painkillers are driving patients toward non-pharmaceutical treatments, such as pain patches, which are seen to be more manageable and safer.

Based on product type, non-opioid patches are forecasted to account for 55.6% of the revenue share in 2024. Due to growing concerns about the hazards associated with opioid usage, such as addiction, dependency, and overdose, there is an increasing demand for non-opioid pain patches. Non-opioid patches provide a safer option for treating both acute and chronic pain issues by lowering the associated hazards of opioid use.

What is Driving Demand for Pain Patches?

A pain patch is a medicated adhesive patch that is used to relieve pain by placing it on the skin. Pain patch uses a transdermal route and therefore provide an advantage of controlled delivery of medication as compared to other routes of administration. This advantage results in increasing the sales of pain patches during the forecast period.

The increasing number of accidents that result in severe injuries is expected to drive the growth of the pain patch market across the globe. According to the Association for Safe International Travel, in 2020, approximately 4.4 million individuals were severely injured and required medical attention in the United States. Moreover, the increasing number of sports-related injuries will also lead to a rise in demand for the pain patch market.

In addition, changes in lifestyle and the emergence of more office-related jobs that need continuous sitting in one position for too long result in back-related ailments among others. This will also lead to significant growth in the pain patch market.

Increasing Prevalence of Arthritis Expected to Augment the Growth of the Pain Patch Market

Increasing chronic and acute pain-related diseases are expected to reflect positive growth for the pain patch market. One such disease is arthritis, which results in severe joint pain. The increasing prevalence of arthritis mainly is expected to increase the demand for pain patches. According to the CDC, in 2018, an estimated 22.7% of the United States population of adults had doctor-diagnosed arthritis.
