The general anesthesia drug market was valued at $5,400.5 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $7,736.3 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2031. General anesthesia is a combination of medication which causes sleep-like state before a surgery or other medical procedure. Under general anesthesia patient does not feel pain because patient is completely in unconscious state. General anesthesia is given with the combination of intravenous and inhalation anesthesia drugs. There are many equipment specifically designed for different surgical procedures. These include anesthetic vaporizer that is used as a vaporizing anesthetic; nasal oxygen set for delivering oxygen and others. Some intravenous drugs such as propofol, etomidate, and ketamine are intravenous sedative hypotonic agents which are given in general anesthesia. Sevoflurane and desflurane are inhalation general anesthesia drugs which are used during surgical procedure.
The general anesthesia drug market is majorly driven by increase in number of surgical procedures like hip and knee replacement surgery, cardiac surgery, general surgeries cancer surgeries, rise in number of geriatric population, increase in prevalence of osteoarthritis disease, and neurological disorder. Moreover increase in number of key players to formulate general anesthesia drug, propels the growth of the market. According to the rheumatology advisor, the annual number of total knee arthroplasty was predicted to increase by 56% from 2019 to 2020. The demand for general anesthesia increases due to an increase in the number of knee arthroplasty surgery procedures. The knee and hip replacement procedures are majorly conducted under general anesthesia. Increase in prevalence of chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and others is one of the major factor that boosts the growth of the market. According to the Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) approximately 659,000 population in the U.S. experienced death from heart disease each year.

Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'General Anesthesia Drugs Market,' the general anesthesia drugs market size was valued at $5.4 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $7.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2022 to 2031. General anesthesia drug is defined as state of controlled unconsciousness in which the anesthesiologist administers drug through a mask or an intravenous catheter placed in the vein. Mostly general anesthesia is used in long operations and painful surgical procedures. The primary goal of general anesthesia is to make a patient unconscious and unable to feel painful stimuli. The five main types of anesthetic agents include intravenous anesthetics, inhalational anesthetics, IV sedatives, synthetic opioids, and neuromuscular blocking. General anesthesia is most commonly used for major operations such as knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, heart surgery, cancer surgery, and gastro-intestinal surgery.Factors that drive the growth of the general anesthesia drugs market share include increase in number of surgical procedure, rise in prevalence of cancer, surge in geriatric population, and increase in number of manufacture to develop general anesthesia drugs. According to the Journal of JAMA Netw Open, in December 2021, around 5. 9 million population were reported to have undergone surgical procedure in the U.S. This factor is expected to propel the general anesthesia drugs market growth.
Moreover, increase in the geriatric population causes rise in the number of surgeries which drives the general anesthesia drugs market trends. As the geriatric population are more prone to cardiovascular disease which leads to increase in the number of cardiac surgeries. Increase in the number of osteoporosis in old age people leads to increase in the number of knee and hip replacement surgeries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2021, by 2030, 1 in 6 population in the world will be aged 60 years or over. Moreover, according to the Journal of JAMA Netw Open, in 2021, about 32% of surgical procedure in the U.S were reported to have conducted in patients aged more than 65 years. Thus geriatric population is more prone to surgical procedure.
Increase in the number of general anesthesia drugs industry who manufacture general anesthesia propels the growth of the market. For instance, in April 2020, Hikma pharmaceutical Plc, a pharmaceutical company, announced the launch of vecuronium bromide for Injection, which is a new general anesthesia drug. It is indicated as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate endotracheal intubation and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. Moreover, in May 2020, Hikma, also announced the launch of propofol injectable emulsion which is an intravenous general anesthesia drug used in surgical procedure.
The general anesthesia drug market is segmented on the basis type of drug, route of administration, surgery type, end user, and region.
On the basis of type of drug, the market is classified into propofol, sevoflurane, desflurane and others. The others segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to rise in the launch of novel general anesthesia drugs, and increase in number of approval for general anesthesia drugs.
On the basis of route of administration, the market is classified into intravenous and inhalation. The inhalation segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to rise in number of diagnostic procedure, and increase in government support regarding the use of inhalation anesthesia.
On the basis of surgery type, the market is classified into knee & hip replacements, heart surgeries, cancer surgery, general surgery. The knee & hip replacement segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to increase in prevalence of osteoarthritis, rise in number of arthroplasty procedure, and increase in accident and sport related knee and hip injury.
On the basis of end user, the market is classified into hospital and ambulatory surgical centers. The hospital segment dominated the market in 2021, and is expected to continue this trend during the forecast period, owing to rise in the number of hospitals, and rise in the expenditure by government to improve healthcare industry.
North America garnered a major share in the general anesthesia drugs market in 2021, and is expected to continue to dominate the market during the forecast period, owing to rise in prevalence of chronic disease, increase in number of approval for general anesthesia drug, presence of key players, and development in R&D activities in healthcare sector in the region. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to register highest CAGR of 4.2% from 2022 to 2031, owing to increase in prevalence of cardiovascular disease, rise in number of surgical procedure, and growth in health care expenditures.
The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on growth of the general anesthesia drug market. The pandemic has stressed healthcare systems in the world and cause decline in the demand of general anesthesia drug due to canceled or postpone of elected surgeries. According to the report share by British Journal of Surgery in May 2020, it was reported that, approximately 28.4 million elected surgeries estimated to be canceled in 2020 over the globe. According to the report share by National Library Medicine in July 2020, after excluding emergency surgical procedures, it was estimated that about 30,000 primary and 3000 revision knee and hip replacement arthroplasty procedures was canceled each week in the U.S In current scenario, the number of surgeries which got cancelled or postponed during COVID-19 pandemic were rescheduled.
