Local Anesthesia Drugs Market Size & Forecast Report, 2014 - 2025

The Global Local Anesthesia Drugs Market is predicted to reach USD 6.45 billion by 2025 owing to the increasing number of surgeries across the world. Anesthesia is a medical procedure that reduces or prevents pain during surgery or other painful medical processes. It encourages the loss of awareness or sensation to the patient, which in a way helps the surgeons to carry the entire surgery. Anesthesia is a drug that prevents pain during a medical operation. The anesthesia type used for any surgery is determined by different factors like length and type of the surgery, patient health, and preference of the surgeon doctor, and patient. The local anesthesia drugs market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% in the years to come.

The three types of anesthesia drugs are local anesthesia, general anesthesia, and regional anesthesia. Long anesthesia is injected into the tissue to numb the particular body location for a minor operation. In general anesthesia, the patient is completely unconscious and feels no sense in the body and regional anesthesia comprises an injection near the cluster of nerves to make the body part numb, where the patient may or may not be conscious). The popular drugs in local anesthetics are chemically differentiated as Ester linked Local Anesthetics like Procaine, Cocaine, Tetracaine, Chloroprocaine, benzocaine, etc. and Amide linked Local anesthetics such as Bupivacaine, Lidocaine, prilocaine, dibucaine, ropivacaine, etc.

The growing number of surgeries across the world along with cosmetic surgeries, plastic surgeries, and dental surgeries are the driving factors for the rise of local anesthetics. A substantial increase is observed in the rising number of surgeries that require post-operative pain relief and is predicted to grow continuously in the forecast period. At present, the growing number of medical surgeries require solutions against post-operative pain, which is again expected to boost the Local Anesthesia Drugs Market. The emergence of modern and effective drugs like articaine, levobupivacaine, and ropivacaine are also contributing majorly to the market growth in different regions of the world. The increasing healthcare expenditure in emerging economies like China, India, and Brazil is projected to give a rise in the surgeries performed, which stimulates market growth.

The general anesthetic drugs come with different side effects like vomiting, dry mouth, nausea, shivering, aches in muscles, sore throat, itching, mild hoarseness, disorientation, and sleepiness. Some severe complications comprise cognitive dysfunction, malignant hyperthermia, and delirium. A patient might also experience psychological changes such as blood pressure disparities, which should be serious to be taken care of by the physician. If such a patient’s condition is taken lightly by the anesthesia, he might face potential risks. The regulatory issues that are imposed by the government are also restricting the growth of the market.
