The global alexipharmic drugs market size was estimated to be USD 3.70 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 6.45 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 5.17% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Increasing incidence of poisoning, advancements in medical research, increasing technological innovations, awareness and education programs, government regulations and initiatives, and drug repurposing strategies will drive the market growth.
The market for antiepileptic medications is significantly influenced by the rise in accidental and purposeful poisoning cases that occur worldwide. An increased risk of exposure to toxins may be caused by variables such as changes in lifestyle, industrial accidents, and environmental pollution. For instance, Pfizer Inc. and the Harm Reduction Coalition announced a collaboration in November 2023 to increase access to Narcan® through neighborhood-based groups.
By application, the opioid overdose segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global alexipharmic drugs market in 2023 owing to the increasing prevalence of opioid abuse and addiction, heightened awareness of the opioid crisis, and the urgent need for effective and rapid-acting antidotes to counteract opioid overdoses. For instance, Novartis International AG received FDA clearance in December 2022 for RLV-003, a new formulation of intranasal naloxone that may be used at home. Additionally, the benzodiazepine overdose segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising incidence of benzodiazepine overdoses, increased prescription rates for benzodiazepines, a growing awareness of the potential risks associated with their misuse, and the pressing need for efficient antidotes to manage and reverse benzodiazepine toxicity.
By route of administration, the parenteral segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global alexipharmic drugs market in 2023 owing to the growing preference for immediate and reliable drug administration, especially in emergencies where swift action is critical. For instance, in October 2023, GlaxoSmithKline plc and the University of California, San Diego collaborated to create an antidote for the harmful and increasingly common narcotic Xylazine. Additionally, the oral segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing emphasis on patient convenience, advancements in oral drug delivery technologies, and the development of novel formulations that enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of alexipharmic drugs when administered orally.
By end-user, the hospital's segment accounted for the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global alexipharmic drugs market in 2023 owing to the increased prevalence of severe poisoning cases necessitating immediate and specialized medical intervention, coupled with the well-established infrastructure and equipped facilities within hospital settings. For instance, in August 2023, Johnson & Johnson and Shatterproof collaborated to launch a public awareness campaign that aimed to raise knowledge of the risks associated with opioid overdose and encourage the availability of naloxone. Additionally, the homecare segment is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the growing emphasis on patient-centric care, advancements in home healthcare technologies, and the increasing trend towards decentralized healthcare delivery.
North American region is anticipated to have the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the high prevalence of poisoning cases, robust healthcare infrastructure, stringent regulations promoting the development and adoption of alexipharmic drugs, and increasing awareness of the importance of prompt and effective toxicological interventions. Additionally, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising incidence of poisoning cases, increasing accessibility to healthcare facilities, a growing awareness of the importance of antidotes and alexipharmic drugs, and ongoing efforts to enhance emergency medical response systems. in Jul 2023, Sanofi S.A. Partnered with the World Health Organization to improve access to essential antidotes, including sodium thiosulfate, in low- and middle-income countries.
This comprehensive research report focuses on the global and regional market size and forecasts from 2023 to 2034.
