Opioid Induced Constipation Market Size Worth $3.93 Billion By 2032 | CAGR: 4.6%

The global opioid induced constipation market size is expected to reach USD 3.93 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Opioid Induced Constipation Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Active Ingredients; By Prescription Type; By Route of Administration; By Distribution Channel; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Opioids are most used to get relief from pain, as they include morphine, tramadol, and fentanyl. The increased accessibility of painkillers at retail and online e-commerce platforms is showing a positive impact on the demand for opioids in the marketplace, including significant growth potential for opioid-induced constipation.

The rising awareness campaigns by pharmaceutical companies, governments, and non-government agencies are demonstrating a positive impact on the opioid-induced constipation market. For instance, in 2023, Salix Pharmaceuticals, a drug manufacturer, along with the other two non-profit organisations, declared December 5 as the opioid-induced constipation awareness day to confront the stigmas surrounding the issue.

The rising use of opioids among the larger consumer base is expected to boost demand for opioid-induced constipation treatment. According to the available data, among the individuals who consumed opioids without cancer, around 40–60% of the people get opioid-induced constipation (OIC). 

The higher risk of constipation with the intake of opioid-related drugs, along with the growing research studies to review the potential causes and suitable treatments, are showing wider growth opportunities for the market. For instance, a study published in the National Library of Medicine explored opioid-induced constipation and reviewed potential therapeutic and non-therapeutic treatments to treat the disease.

Furthermore, the use of opioids can be related to the rising use by cancer patients to get pain relief. According to pharmaceutical experts, approximately 60 to 90% of patients who took the opioid for cancer treatment suffered from opioid-induced constipation. Opioid-induced constipation patients are likely to face more difficulties in day-to-day life activities, primarily those facing cancer pain.

Moreover, research activities are positively influencing the creation of effective treatments for patients suffering from opioid-induced constipation. For instance, a 2024 study focused on finding the relationship between opioid-induced constipation and the P2Y1 receptor in the colonic myenteric plexus of rats.
