The lidocaine hydrochloride market size is expected to record a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. An increase in the number of surgical procedures performed across the world, including dental procedures, cosmetic surgeries, and plastic surgeries, is expected to promote growth. The global rise in chronic and acute pain related disorders and various benefits associated with lidocaine hydrochloride are some of the major factors driving the market growth.
A key trend observed in the market is a significant rise in the demand for post-operative pain relief options, on the heels of an increasing number of surgical procedures. This trend is likely to continue to positively influence the demand for lidocaine hydrochloride. As per the study of “Postoperative Pain Control”, around 75% of patients who undergo surgery experience acute postoperative pain, which is often medium-high in severity, which further bolsters the overall growth.
Also, lidocaine patches are available for the treatment of chronic and acute pain. Owing to their safety profile and proven efficacy, lidocaine patches have been recommended as a first-line therapy for the treatment of neuropathic pain in older patients, as well as those suffering from shingles, and this is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. However, side effects, such as idiosyncrasy and hypersensitivity, may restrict the market.
