Forecasts To 2024
The North America opioid market is expected to reach USD 18.5 billion by 2024, according to a new
report by Grand View Research, Inc. Favorable regulations and healthcare reforms are providing an
environment, conducive for research and development as well as commercialization efforts directed
toward the development of novel abuse-deterrent opioids, to flourish and drive the industry growth
during the forecast period.
Furthermore, the key players are deploying large funds in the development of abuse-deterrent
technology wherein drugs are designed to be tamper resistant. This is achieved through alterations
involving, among others, the use of physical or chemical barriers to resist convenient extraction of the
opioids, the addition of an aversive agent to the formulation that would yield an unpleasant effect upon
its extraction, and the formulation of opioid prodrugs that are dependent on enzymatic activity in order
to be rendered to their active forms. These tamper-resistant opioid drug forms are anticipated to
mitigate the incidence of their misuse.
